About this property

Lyme View, boasting views over Chesil Beach and the ocean beyond, is a delightful two-bed property resting in the coastal town of Fortuneswell on the Isle of Portland, and is an ideal hideaway for a family or group of friends looking to explore the coast of Dorset. Be welcomed into a charming living space, outfitted with sailing medals and photograph’s belonging to the owner, finding a delightful living/dining space with stylish furniture, ideal for a hearty meal, games night, or settling down to enjoy a movie marathon. When mealtimes call, the kitchen/diner caters to your culinary needs with a whole range of amenities tucked away into contemporary furniture, and here there is a second dining space and access to the rear garden. Dine alfresco in a cheerfully painted sitting area with a backdrop of sea views and salty air, so why not make the most of the sunshine and enjoy a tipple in the evening as the stars appear overhead? Freshen up in the shower room before cosying up for the night in one of the two bedrooms, both with their own character and charm, choosing between a double and a twin. Settled into the coast of the Isle of Portland, Fortuneswell is a delightful location with a local shop, a pub, The Cove House Inn, and access to a fantastic beach where guests can try out watersports. The Isle of Portland itself is home to the intriguing Portland Castle, as well as Portland Museum, a selection of beaches, coastal walks and watersports activities for an action-packed afternoon trying out kayaking, sailing, paddleboarding and more. Weymouth offers a theatre, many eateries, RSPB Radipole Lake for birdwatching and water skiing and wakeboarding facilities, and from here you can try out a game of golf at one of the local courses or take a scenic walk along the breath-taking West Dorset Heritage Coast. Explore the lovely independent shops of Dorchester, or further from the property explore the Jurassic coast at Lyme Regis and Charmouth. All of this and so much more with a stay at the delightful Lyme View.

Situated on Dorset's spectacular Jurassic Coast, now a World Heritage Site, the village of Fortuneswell can be found on the rugged Isle of Portland peninsula, joined to the mainland via Chesil Beach, a pebble spit, which stretches 18 miles towards West Bay. Formerly a quarrying area, Fortuneswell boasts a good variety of shops, pubs and restaurants, along with an intriguing maze of streets that wind their way up a steep hill to offer stunning views of the Jurassic Coast and the rolling hills of Dorset beyond. The surrounding countryside is well known as a birdwatcher’s paradise, plus with great walking and climbing opportunities, an array of watersport activities, wonderful sandy beaches, and Weymouth just 5 miles away, this super holiday destination is not to be missed!

    Despite the weather not being great all the time, we enjoyed our stay at this cottage. Well laid out, tastefully decorated, modern appliances, warm & located closely to shops, pubs & takeaways. The cottage was minutes away from the coast & walks along Chesil Beach. We found Portland amazing, lots of places to visit, Castles, Prisons, Great Photo Areas, Portland Bill & an amazing area of Stone Sculptures. Plenty places to visit off the ‘Island’ places like Weymouth, Durdle Door, Dorchester, Abbotsbury & Corfe Castle. The Negatives (if that) was Parking limited & difficult to park outside the property. However, plenty places to park minutes away. Not much info or containers for recycling, maybe we didn’t understand the instructions. Outside at the back was a small sun trap to have a cuppa or breakfast as well as an area for our small dog to enjoy. Overall a very good Cottage & Area to stay.
