“The cottage met all of our requirements, and more.”

Absolutely lovely little cottage, very cosy, clean and comfortable. Well positioned in one of our favourite places, with plenty of amenities nearby.

Absolutely lovely little cottage, very cosy, clean and comfortable. Well positioned in one of our favourite places, with plenty of amenities nearby. We especially liked the balcony, which was a real suntrap, even in October! Definitely one we will return to...

Mr Henton August 2021

“The cottage was wonderful.”

We had a lovely stay there stones throw from the beach within walking distance of everything you needed. Couldn't have wanted anything more from the stay

Mrs Scott July 2021

“Beautifully decorated little cottage, well stocked kitchen, comfy beds, huge bathroom with excellent shower.”

Location was perfect - walk or short bike / scooter / skateboard away from the sailing centre and OTC. Would book again. Thanks for having us.

Mr Leppard July 2021

“Good location.”

Nice and quiet. Able to do walks from the cottage and other walks and attractions within an hour's drive. Always able to park in parallel roads. Cottage well equipped and calming.

Mrs Hurst October 2020

“Lovely cosy cottage, everything we needed.”

Decor & furnishings to a high standard. Some damp on walls in back double bedroom. Good base for surrounding area.

“Beautiful cottage had every thing we needed for the week”

Mr Kelly August 2020

“The cottage is tiny but is lovely and very well equipped.”

It would be great for a couple, but as a family we struggled a little with space. The location is fantastic and in walking distance to Chesil Beach. We did receive some verbal abuse from locals when parking our car on the road behind the cottage, which was a little unnerving.

Mrs Crook October 2019

“Was totally in love with this property and location.”

Amazed by provision of every little thing which isn't usually provided. Having brought our own kitchen towels, salt and pepper and washing up liquid etc, we were completely surprised to find all these things supplied....and more...down to a ball of string! Very impressed. We even played a game where we challenged each other to guess what wasn't supplied and we could find nothing wanting.... Decorated and finished to a lovely standard....definitely recommended!

“Nice, old cottage with history in the middle of the city.”

Beautifully renovated and tastefully decorated. Kitchen very well equipped. Steep stairs up to the 2 bedrooms, which are not very big and there are no cupboards for hanging, there are only drawers, or shelves. The bathroom, on the other hand, is very generous, which is explained by the fact that it was built in 2008 from a converted bedroom, but a mixer tap at the washbasin would have increased the comfort. -: No room for big luggage. The backyard for laundry was nice, but a bit dirty. The terrace is not suitable for a longer stay or to eat. No waste separation possible. +: Extensive information on walking and sightseeing, as well as books about Portland available. Good bluetooth speakers, DVD collection, stable Wi-Fi :-). Walking distance to Chesil Beach and the Cove House Inn, where you can sit beautifully at sunset. Portland is a good base from which to explore the Jurassic Coast. We felt very confortable, just because Fortuneswell is not that touristy.

- Mrs Preissler, August 2019

Thank you so much for your lovely review, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay in our cottage, in the village of Fortuneswell. We agree that there is nothing better than watching the sunset over the Chesil Beach only a few minutes away from the cottage. Garden chairs, table and a bench make for comfortable lunching on the terrace, which is a sun-trap in the afternoon. If recycling is a concern, there is recycling centre at the top of the hill.

“Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Woche im Ammonite Cottage.”

Es ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und wirklich sehr gut ausgestattet. Alles war sehr sauber und die vorhandenen Informationen zum Haus und zur Umgebung waren sehr ausführlich. Die Nähe zum Meer ist toll. Wir haben unsere Terasse im Hinterhof sehr genossen. Wir können dieses Haus nur weiterempfehlen.

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!
