About this property

Tucked away in the coastal village of Fortuneswell in Dorset, is this lovely one-bedroom, terraced house, 5 Coastguard Cottage. Enjoying a fabulous position just moment’s away from Chiswell Beach and the local amenities, 5 Coastguard Cottage is a wonderful romantic base (no Wi-Fi) for a couple seeking their next coastal retreat. Look forward to rustling up a tasty feast in the contemporary kitchen, ready to enjoy at the intimate dining table for two. After dinner, head outside to the rear garden to relax with your favourite tipple and catch a glimpse of the sea views on offer. As the evening cools, retire to the sitting room where you can snuggle up with a good book or select a much-loved favourite from the TV. Climb the stairs up to the first floor, where you can freshen up after a day at the beach with a hot shower, before climbing into the sumptuous king size bed to catch your rest. In the morning, fuel up for the day ahead with a steaming cup of coffee ready to be enjoyed in the conservatory as you plan the days adventures. Set out for the day where you can treat your loved ones to a delicious home-cooked breakfast at The Flat Café, before packing up your beach gear and heading down to Chiswell, where you can bathe on the sands or paddle the shores. Within the bustling town, you will also find the popular Cove House Inn, Quiddles, a fish and chip shop and two well-stocked convenience stores. Head over to nearby Castletown, where you can explore the fascinating 16th-century Portland Castle, watch the boats sail in and out of the Portland Marina and Boatyard or enjoy a leisurely stroll around the Tout Quarry Sculpture Park & Nature Reserve. The renowned resort town of Weymouth is just a short drive away, here you will find the impressive ruins of Sandsfoot Castle, the Rodwell Trail and the Victorian Nothe Fort and Gardens. Continue into the town where you can test out your swing at the Weymouth Golf Club, spot the local wildlife at the RSPB Radipole Lake, take in the delights of Weymouth Beach, along with the attractions of the sea life centre, Lorton Valley Nature Park and RSPB Lodmoor. From here embark on a scenic walk along the famed Jurassic Coast for views and scenery like no other. Whisk your loved one away to 5 Coastguard Cottage.

Fortuneswell is located on the Isle of Portland peninsula, which is connected to the mainland by Chesil Beach, a gravel spit that extends 18 miles towards West Bay. The Jurassic Coast of Dorset is a World Heritage Site. There is a fair selection of shops, bars, and restaurants in Fortuneswell as well as a fascinating maze of lanes that twist their way up a high hill to provide spectacular views of the Jurassic Coast and the rolling hills of Dorset beyond. It's a birdwatcher's paradise, with outstanding hiking and climbing opportunities, a wide variety of watersports, sandy beaches, and Weymouth just five miles away, making this a fantastic vacation spot.

    The main issue was that of access. The property is unsuitable for any-one with mobility problems because of its position halfway up (or down) a steep hill. Wherever you wish to go it is very difficult particularly as it is impossible to park within a short distance of the property.

  • Ian

    Only hand rail on one side. (Very steep) No first aid kit. No freezer only fridge. Faultless apart from these couple of things. Beautiful property and area. About 300 metres from crystal clear sea.

  • Susan

    No complaints at all. The only comment that I would make is that there is no facility for recycling waste at the property. We were able to park daily in the cul-de-sac by the theatre at the top of Coastguard Road.
