“Excellent cottage.”

Lovely location. Owners very pleasant.

“Due to the weather we found the wood burner a very welcome item in the property.”

Being able to park on the drive was very useful as the roads were so narrow and full of parked cars. Portland was most interesting and on a fine day the views were superb.
Mrs Moore May 2019

“Lovely clean comfortable house.”

Parking can be difficult due to the neighbours. Not for people with walking problems as on very steep hills. Too far from anywhere nice to walk to so had to use car all the time. Would have been nice to have a welcome pack as we have had at every other cottage through the years. We had to go down a steep hill to get some milk as no parking at local shops.

We are really pleased you reviewed the property as a clean and comfortable house. As owners, we try really hard to ensure the comfort of guests. The property has allocated parking space on the drive for two cars. Whilst the property is on a level road, Portland is a hilly isle and this is part of its charm and ruggedness. Guests do come specifically to walk in Portland and just minutes away is the South West coastal path, with breath-taking sea and countryside views. The shops are just a two minute walk with parking outside and a nearby free 72 hour car park. We do normally leave a welcome pack and apologise that that was overlooked on this occasion.

“Excellent location, very convenient for shops and the local pubs.”

A great place to set off walking from too. Portland was a new venue for us, everyone was so welcoming we loved it. Great cafe's in the area, lovely coastal walking and plenty to visit by car too. Inside the accommodation was spacious, loads of room for 4 people. The kitchen/breakfast area has a decent table to eat or work at, and there was also a nice corner settee, perfectly placed for watching the tv. The sitting room is huge, plenty of comfy seating, with a wood burner and tv. Three toilets, two showers and a bath, as well as a utility room with a washing machine. You do hear the church clock chime, but with the double glazed windows closed it didn't disturb us at all, and there was almost no road noise. A decent outside area too, so you could relax in the evening after a day's exploring with your favourite tipple, or a bbq. We will certainly visit again.

The property

St John's View is a modern detached house with sea views located on the rugged and wild Dorset coastal Isle of Portland, which forms part of the Jurassic Coast, the world heritage site. The property is an unusual two storey house over ground floor and lower ground floor sleeping up to four people in two bedrooms that are all on the lower ground floor. The king size master bedroom boasts an en-suite shower and there is a separate bathroom with bath and separate shower on the lower ground floor for your convenience. Relax on the rocking chairs in the master bedroom to read a book, or step outside to the large grassed area with outdoor furniture from the bedroom for some relaxation in the sun.

The sitting room on the ground floor is spacious enough for everyone to enjoy a nice afternoon or just spend the evening after dinner by the fire. Around a five minute walk from the property will take you to Chesil Beach, a famous pebbly beach which stretches for 18 miles to West Bay.

Here you may choose to watch the fisherman as the waters are rich in seafood, stroll along with beach for as far as your energy takes you, or just sit and enjoy the sea views and surrounding cliffs.

Circling the whole Isle of Portland is a coastal walk which is perfect for the more adventurous.

For those wishing to explore on a smaller scale, do visit Tout Quarry where you can wander among unique stone carvings in a disused quarry now boasting in summer many rare and common butterflies.

Portland is a haven for wild birds, which inhabit the many inlets and coves, do bring binoculars so you spot the many different breeds.

For avid birdwatchers, one of the lighthouses on the isle was turned to Portland Bird Observatory and Field Centre, so is well worth a visit. Take a tour of the iconic Portland Lighthouse Bill and stop at the Lobster Pot for a crab sandwich or cream tea.

St John's View is very conveniently located for The National Sailing Academy and the surrounding seas; popular with all kinds of water sports enthusiasts.

The major seaside resort of Weymouth with its traditional family attractions is an easy drive or bus journey away. For couples or a small family looking for a modern holiday home in a unique place St. John’s View is a perfect choice.
