I chose this accommodation for my partner's birthday, and it definitely did not disappoint! The key collection process was easy and conveniently handled from Mac's Pub in the main street of Portland. Just note that check-in is strictly from 2pm. It was a lovely 10km drive to the property - there is a scenic route or a quicker route to choose from. Directions were clear to the property and entry into the house was seamless as long as you read the instructions. I chose the Lighthouse Keepers Cottage and this historic building has stood the test of time and been restored beautifully and is magnificent. Whilst it had all the modern amenities that you could need, it was wonderfully restored retaining all the charm and beauty of its era. Separate lounge, kitchen and sunroom. It had 2 bedrooms (but 1 was locked as we only booked it with 1 bedroom) and 2 bathrooms - one bathroom had a toilet, basin and shower and the other bathroom had an easy access shower, toilet, basin and bath and was quite a big comfortable room. Sunroom faced out to a courtyard which had a spa. Laundry with washing machine and dryer, fully fitted kitchen with stove top, oven, microwave, fridge/freezer, coffee machine, dishwasher and all the crockery and kitchen utensils you would need, a massive dining table and plenty of pillows and blankets. The bed was a king and so comfy. Plenty of power points. Breakfast was provided - bacon, local eggs, butter and all sorts of jams and spreads. There was also cereal, tea, coffee - milk was also provided but the longlife small packs so if you enjoy real milk bring your own. There were alot of lovely "extra" touches too - plenty of books to read, games, wood for the fire, tv's It is windy due to being near the beach. Lots of walk to do in the vicinity - no beach as such but cliff tops, wonderful views and wildlife. I haven’t stopped raving about our stay here! They only thing I could suggest is that the cottage and the adjoining back accommodation be separated by a fence of sorts. I went walkabout and realised there was other people staying in the rear premises but there was no delineation between the 2 properties. The advertisement said there was a pool but I could not find one.

Beautiful serene setting in historic cottage. Great sunrises and sunsets and walks. Well provisioned for breakfast and self cooking. Luxurious bathroom!

Shining Light Great stay to get away from it all. Need to bring own supplies to save driving back to Portland.

Beautiful property in a fabulous location. We loved the Head Keeper’s cottage; the older style, high ceilings, tasteful decor and comprehensive amenities. It was wonderful that breakfast items were provided - the eggs were delicious! The property was very comfortable and homely, we only wish we were staying more than one night!
