About this property
Beautiful, family friendly Cottage with sea views of Chesil Beach
Quaint seaside cottage where you can see and hear the sea.
A very short walk to pretty Chesil Cove where you are away from the crowds yet always something on in Weymouth all year. Buses run regularly and all night in summer in to Weymouth, bus stops close by.
Portland is steeped in history and great for exploring; we even have wild goats and Peregrine Falcon's!
Walking distance to Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy
Restaurants/pubs/cafes/supermarket/newsagent/pharmacy/general store all very close by on the high street.
Bird Observatory on Portland Bill,
Spring and Autumn Portland is a hot spot to see migrating birds stopping en route.
Surrounded by the South West Coast Path and perfect for walking
High quality Bedeck/Seasalt bedlinen boutique style furnishings.
Towels provided
Tea/Coffee, cooking oil, seasonings provided.
Milk/biscuits or chocolates on arrival
NO PETS
Please note the lounge area, though adequate for 5, isn't huge so if wanting a large lounge please check suitable from the photos before booking. Limited to 4 guests for this reason.
Cot/highchair/stair gate available for babies/toddlers check sleeping arrangements suitable before booking. Fine for 2 children opposite sex as 3 bedrooms.
Dining table accommodates 4 adults and there is a Tripp Trapp high chair.
Cottage refurbished in a shabby chic style in 2015 with new contemporary kitchen/bathroom 2017.
This is an old quaint quarryman's character cottage built of Portland stone in approx 1810, with feature exposed stone walls.
The back bedrooms look out to sea and you can gaze out to sea from the the front door.
The Kitchen is fully integrated including washing machine. (no freezer). has ice maker. Washing line in the back yard on a pulley system for drying or tumble driers in laundrette a stones throw from the cottage.
The back garden is small but enough to sit outside and listen to the sea; is also a suntrap. We have hung plenty of hooks for drying surf/sailing gear along the garden wall.
The attic room is perfect to lay on the bed and listen to the waves below in Chesil Cove. This is also a tranquil place to relax or look out to sea, seen from the back bedrooms windows. There is a fabulous beach pub/restaurant a very short walk away that has good food and a perfect place to watch the sun set.
The cottage is staggering distance from the South West Coast Path which is an integral part of Chesil Cove.
For sailing enthusiasts the National Sailing Academy is a stroll down the hill and here you will find sailing/surfing schools which frequent the safe waters of Portland harbour. Beach/harbourside cafe's abound on Portland and Weymouth, where you can enjoy a drink or lunch whilst looking out across the waters from Chesil Cove, Portland Marina or the Fleet Lagoon. Weymouth harbour is beautiful all year round and retains its old fashioned charm with picturesque painted houses, cobbled streets and fishing boats moored in the harbour. Plenty of cafe’s restaurants here too. There are numerous festivals going on all year, notably the seafood festival in July which attracts celebrity Chef's and the Carnival in August. Not forgetting how famous Weymouth is for its fancy dress at New Year!
