Explore the Isle of Portland by taking the South West Coast path circling the whole island. You will visit the beautiful Church Ope Cove with Rufus castle and XIII century church ruins, three lighthouses with the popular Portland Bill. The island is a heaven for birdwatcher and wildlife lovers.

On Dorset's spectacular Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, the village of Fortuneswell can be found on the rugged Isle of Portland, joined to the mainland via Chesil Beach, a pebble spit, which stretches 18 miles towards West Bay. 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!

 Itâs quite traditional but roomy, warm and so well equipped. We really enjoyed our time here â lots to see and do. We especially liked Fancys Farm (for the children), Portland Bill and the old nature reserve and sculpture quarries It was good to have a drive for the car as there rarely seems to be parking spaces available on the road. Next time, weâll come in the summer so we can also enjoy the large grass area in the secluded garden!

Needs updating and garden needs attention.

This is the best cottage we have rented through Sykes so far. The location is great with everything we needed nearby, although the road to the cottage is quite narrow I found it to be no problem as it's one way so you never meet oncoming traffic and parking was also easy on the property's own drive. The cottage was very clean, comfortable and quite a lot bigger than expected, with all rooms being a generous size, well maintained and equipped with everything we could have wanted. Although we didn't use it much because we were out exploring all day, the garden was lovely too. We had a great week, in fact I must admit that I didn't want to leave. If we return to the area I will be hoping to book again. Thanks for a lovely stay.
