Our Place in Portland A self-catering Victorian Cottage in Dorset with sea views

Welcome to our coastal retreat in Portland, Dorset

A cosy coastal retreat with a personal touch

When we first found this Victorian cottage on the Isle of Portland, we fell in love with its sea views, character and charm. Over time, we’ve restored it with care, keeping the original quirks that make it special, while adding thoughtful touches to make it a comfortable home for guests.

It’s become more than just a place to stay; it’s somewhere to breathe in the sea air, put the kettle on, and feel instantly at ease. We love sharing it with families, walkers, couples and anyone looking for a break on the Jurassic Coast.

With three welcoming bedrooms, a kitchen that’s perfect for gathering over coffee or cooking together and the coast path right on the doorstep, we hope you’ll feel the same sense of escape here that we do.

Location

Our cottage is tucked away in a peaceful spot on Portland, but you’re never far from what you need. Wander to the local shops, cafes and pubs, or take a short drive to explore the island’s best-loved landmarks, from the rugged beauty of Portland Bill Lighthouse, to the hidden cove at Church Ope and to the sculpture trails of Tout Quarry.

Being right on the world-famous Jurassic Coast means you’ve got front-row seats to one of the most dramatic coastlines in the UK. Fossil-rich beaches, wild cliffs and that big, wide Dorset sky, it’s no wonder walkers, climbers and nature lovers flock here year-round. When you’ve had your fill of exploring, it’s a joy to come back and put the kettle on with the sea view just outside the window.
