Had a wonderful stay on beautiful Portland Island in this Lovely Cottage. Lighting the woodburner after a bracing coastal walk was such a treat. Had everything we needed for a perfect escape from it all. Thankyou Graham! and Happy Christmas!

We absolutely loved Seaview Cottage, so quaint and cosy, beautiful log fire, great facilities. So nice when the weather is moody to share a bottle of wine and enjoy that view. Good for the Soul ๐Ÿ™‚

We have really enjoyed our stay at Sea View. It’s the perfect spot for a base, gorgeous views and not far from lovely walks along the beach front. Portland is a lovely place to explore. We loved Church Ope Cove. Great coffee shop just up the road for a takeaway. Brittania beer garden. Frontline for coffee or beer. Fab waterports @ OTC.

We saw dolphins when kayaking! ๐Ÿ™‚ xx
