Sustainability & Local Makers

🌿 Sustainability & Local Makers

At Our Place in Portland, we believe the best holidays are full of local flavour, the kind you can taste, touch, and feel good about.
From the coffee in your cup to the cookies in your welcome basket, everything we provide has a Dorset story behind it.

As winners of the Litter Free Dorset Sustainable Business Award, we’re proud to champion small, eco-conscious suppliers who share our values. Together we’re showing that you can enjoy comfort and luxury while treading lightly on the planet. 💚

☕ Fountain Rock Coffee Roasters

Small-batch roasted in Dorset, Fountain Rock capture the wild essence of our coastline in every cup. From secret chalk columns to world-class coffee, they’re on a sustainable mission to make Dorset proud, and they even offer free delivery to Portland three times a week, so you can enjoy their coffee at home too.

🌿 Wild England

We’re thrilled to stock and use Wild England’s premium, natural, organic bathroom products, all beautifully made in Dorset and designed to help reduce single-use plastic in hospitality. Their refillable glass bottles and sustainable ethos align perfectly with our own. If you love using their products during your stay, we can arrange home delivery for you — eco-luxury straight to your door. 🌍💚

🍪 Butter & Bloom

Meet Katie, a mum, home baker, and maker of sourdough and butter on the Isle of Portland. What began in her kitchen as a way to feed her family wholesome, nourishing food has grown into Butter & Bloom, a local favourite known for its small-batch sourdough and handmade cookies. Using simple, honest ingredients, including free-range eggs from the farm opposite her, everything is baked with care and love, from her family to yours.

🌊 Dorset Sea Salt Co.

Harvested right here on Portland using seawater from Chesil Beach, Dorset Sea Salt captures the raw purity of our coastline. Every crystal tells the story of our sea air and coastal heritage.

🌱 Clipper Teas

Founded in a Dorset kitchen back in 1984, Clipper has grown into a global name with local roots. Their teas and hot chocolate are still blended in Beaminster, Dorset, always organic, fair, and delicious.

💧 New Forest Spring Water

As local as we could get! Bottled amidst the peaceful woodlands of the New Forest, this pure spring water reflects the simplicity and freshness of nature.

♻️ Serious Tissues

Made in the UK from 100% recycled paper, Serious Tissues products are plastic-free, chemical-free, and zero-waste. They’re proof that small swaps (like your loo roll!) can make a big impact.

💚 Why It Matters

By choosing local, sustainable, and ethical suppliers, we’re not just stocking shelves — we’re supporting people, preserving our planet, and sharing a taste of what makes Dorset so special.
Your stay helps support these small businesses and keeps our local community thriving. Thank you for being part of that story. 🌍✨
