Formerly a quarrying area, Fortuneswell boasts a good variety of shops, pubs and restaurants, along with an intriguing maze of streets that wind their way up a steep hill to offer stunning views of the Jurassic Coast and the rolling hills of Dorset beyond. The surrounding countryside is well known as a birdwatcher’s paradise, plus with great walking and climbing opportunities, an array of watersport activities, wonderful sandy beaches, and Weymouth just 5 miles away, this super holiday destination is not to be missed!

We had a lovely stay here with family, and we regularly hosted a larger group of friends and family during the week, some of whom were staying elsewhere on Portland or visiting for the day. Just a few minor things that could be improved, such as not being able to open the bedroom windows. To be added to suggested things to bring - tea towels, toilet rolls, shampoo, shower gel, dishwasher tablets, hand towel for the kitchen. (Small guest soaps and 1 toilet roll per toilet was supplied.) Also, I was surprised at no recycling - everything has to go in the same bin! Not used to that these days! Otherwise, all good, very well equipped and a lovely large space! Thankyou!
