Your Home Away From Home: Thoughtful Touches Guests Love at Our Coastal Cottage in Dorset

April 17. 2025

Looking for a cosy holiday cottage on the Jurassic Coast where you can truly unwind? Whether you’re planning a spring weekend by the sea or a longer family break, our dog-friendly holiday home on Portland offers more than just a place to stay—it’s a home away from home.

Set in a quiet part of Dorset, with coastal views and the South West Coast Path just moments away, our lovingly restored Victorian cottage is full of thoughtful details designed to help you relax the moment you walk in.

🛁 A Rain Shower You’ll Want to Come Back To

After a long walk on the cliffs or a windswept beach day in nearby Weymouth, nothing beats a proper hot shower. Ours features a walk-in rain shower with plenty of space, soft towels, and gorgeous locally made toiletries.

📚 Cosy Corners & Creature Comforts

Guests love our collection of books, puzzles, and board games—ideal for slow mornings or evenings in. There’s a Smart TV too, but most guests say they hardly use it (too busy soaking up the views or enjoying the peace).

🌅 A Sea View From Your Pillow

The loft bedroom, with its view out to the ocean, is a firm favourite. It’s a peaceful retreat after a day exploring Portland Bill, Chesil Beach, or climbing the local crags.

🍫 A Welcome Basket Full of Local Treats

Every stay includes a welcome basket with handpicked Dorset goodies—alongside Clipper tea and hot chocolate to help you settle in with a cuppa.

🐾 Dog-Friendly, Thoughtfully Equipped

Bringing your dog? We welcome well-behaved pups (with a few gentle house rules) and include info in our digital guidebook on dog-friendly walks and cafes nearby.

🗺️ A Guidebook to Make You Feel Like a Local

From the best brunch spots to the quietest viewpoints, our Touchstay digital guidebook makes it easy to plan your stay like a local, from the moment you book.

Whether you’re looking for a last-minute spring escape, a coastal retreat with sea views, or a base for adventure on the Jurassic Coast, we hope you’ll feel right at home here.
