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 🙂

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! 🙂 xx
