Guests say
The Old Boathouse in Portland offers breathtaking views and a peaceful getaway with a well-equipped cottage, including a hot tub. Guests appreciate the friendly owners and the property's proximity to local attractions. While the unique spiral staircase and low ceilings present challenges for some, the location and amenities more than compensate, making it a favourite for many.
The cottage is generally described as clean and modern. One review mentioned the shower room needing some TLC, but this seems an isolated comment rather than a trend.
The location is consistently praised for its sea views, peacefulness, and proximity to local sights, including the lighthouse and coastal walks.
Comfort is well-regarded with cosy and well-equipped accommodations. However, the spiral staircase and low ceilings were noted as problematic for some guests, affecting the comfort score.
Facilities like the hot tub and kitchenware are appreciated, but some guests noted the need for maintenance, such as updating local information and addressing minor issues like cracked tiles.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the owners, so it is not possible to assess this category.

Incredible location. Views are breathtaking. Lobster Pot cafe food is close by for delicious meals. Great walking are the island. Hot tub is an added bonus. Low ceilings in bedrooms and spiral staircase were a problem but the unique location more than compensated. Owners very helpful and pleasant people.

Folder needs updating. Local pub is closed. Nearest one is 25min. Walk away. Some other details in the folder need checking. The glass around the decking could also be put around the hot tub to.
