Famous for centuries as the home of Portland stone (used by Christopher Wren on St Paul's Cathedral and numerous other London churches). Portland is now evolving into a centre for leisure activities including fishing, diving, bird watching, rock climbing, walking and a variety of water sports, including sailing at the newly opened National Sailing Academy, venue for the sailing events at the 2012 Olympic Games. Portland is made up of several village communities which together offer a range of amenities, however Weymouth with its picturesque harbour and its award winning sandy beach is only 6 miles away.

Three doors from the pub! and sunset glory

BPW Family Worcester
Review Submitted: August 5, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
This cottage is rustic and charming, with many rooms to explorer. One downstair bathroom, but we coped. All mod cons. great shower, microwave, modern kitchen, TV, DVD, freeview etc. Three bedrooms, one in the attic, great for kids. Would of liked another double bed in the second room, but singles were fine.
Can't see the sea from the house, but up the path at the back of the house and you are on the prom. and Chesil Beach. Turn left to a lovely little cafe and fosille hunting, but turn right and there is the prize The Cove Inn. Good food, and great sunsets over the sea.
Roy also has a B&B with coffee shop on the main road, well worth a visit for a latte or Hot Choc. Can also reccommend the Chinese and honey chicken!
Thanks Roy for a lovely stay.

Dolphin Cottage, Chiswell

Fen sloggers Cambridgeshire
Review Submitted: July 22, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
The property description was accurate, and the cottage itself was clean and well maintained. Everything we needed was provided and the owner came round quickly when we had a small problem . He also recommended some good eating places and interesting areas to visit. We found the location very good for exploring Portland itself as well as the whole Dorset coastline. I would recommend this property to those wanting to explore the area and go walking. The cottage is not suitable for the disabled or those who can't manage stairs. Places we visited included Lulworth Cove and the coast path to Durdle Door (quite energetic), Portland Lighthouse, Weymouth itself, Nothe Fort and Brewers Quay, Portland Castle .We liked the local pub but booking a table is a good idea as it is very popular. Also the Smugglers in Osmington. There is a good Coop in Fortuneswell for most groceries and a big ASDA in Weymouth. There were activities that we didn't have time for and places we didn't get to visit so we may be back!

Good location, nice cottage

Kieran Ireland
Review Submitted: August 9, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
Enjoyed a week at Dolphin Cottage (Fisherman's cottage) on Chesil beach, July 2008. Cottage is located very close to beach, literally a stones-throw. It is below the beach so doesn't benefit from a sea-view but is well located aside from this.
Cottage is well equipped and well maintained. The bedrooms are bright and airy; the ground floor is slightly darker, due to the original small window sizes.
Great location for watersports, walking, and access to Weymouth beach. (Chesil beach is a pebble beach, appears good for fishing and activities, not as such for kids). Although bus service appears good, we had a car which was useful with kids.
All in all a good experience and happy to recommend.

pleasant stay

Review Submitted: July 22, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
Simple, well maintained and comfortable cottage at very nice location along the south of England's Jurrasic coast. Very suitable to start hiking trails and beach walks from. Many sight seeing and children activities within an hour's drive. Nice pub and sea at peddle throw distance and groceries shop at short walking distance.

Review Submitted: June 4, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
Simple but well equipped cottage backing onto Chesil beach - absolutely ideal for kids of all ages. Easy drive to many attractions. Cheswell area is fine (but no "postcard picture village") and has a great pub (virtually next door) and two fine restaurants one with a superb fresh fish shop attached. We managed 3 fish courses at the cottage one night and I don't think anything had been out of the water more than 24 hrs. Scuba school runs sessions from over back wall and plenty of watersports available.

The sunset over Lyme from the Cove Hotel was one of the most beautiful sights I have seen in a very long time.

A very relaxing break.
