This cottage was so lovely! A lot of the original charm with just the right amount of updates for comfort. Immaculately clean, and ingredients for a full breakfast. We checked in early and were impressed enough that we went back into town for groceries so that we could make and enjoy dinner there. Wish we could have stayed a week.
This was a beautiful location, isolated, quiet and with nature all around. Yje sunset and sunrise were amazing. All facilities were excellent and we hope to stay again.
This is an awesome property, beautiful views and close enough to Portland for eating options and shops. The head lighthouse keepers cottage has a spa which we didn't realise so that was a nice suprise!
