Two of the bedrooms have no mirrors, also the dish washer broke down and we only had ONE dish cloth for drying. The machine was replaced and all was well. This is our forth visit to this house and it has always lived up to our expectations as dose the island of Portland. See you next year, god willing

Good location, spacious and very comfortable. However it is lacking in love. When we arrived the windows were very dirty and driveway covered in weeds. Within less than an hour of arrival the fuse box tripped, since this is kept in a locked garage we had to call the helpline. It tripped twice more during our 7 night stay. Two of the toilet seats were unsafe, we reported this Sunday and it took until Wednesday afternoon for them to call us. The kitchen was generally well equipped but we did have to buy oven gloves and egg cups. Generally the house was clean but we found rubbish belonging to others in empty cupboards. All of these issues could easily be resolved with a little more attention to detail.

Everything you could need is there. Excellent location within easy reach of the of the sea and all the attractions that the area has to offer. Portland Bill is a must go and see & Billie Winters beach bar on the causeway to the mainland has lovely food and the staff are really friendly too. Nice views and lovely sunsets from the first floor lounge and balcony. We were blessed with the weather and the time we spent at the property was mostly in the garden which was nice and safe for our 2 year old Grandson. There were also stair gates available to use although we had taken our own. Would definitely recommend staying here
