“Lovely upside down cottage in a quiet location.”

The cottage had lots of facilities, not that we used them but could easily have cooked a meal. Everything was spot on and would consider re hooking a some point. The church bells chiming (that has been mentioned) didn’t bother us at all. All in all a relaxing break in a lovely place.

“Overall the cottage was very clean and comfortable.”

Lots of information and books (and toys if you had children) The only thing I thought lacking was a wardrobe in the 2nd bedroom. A large chest of drawers is really not enough, with a couple of hooks on the wall. If there was a wardrobe the same as the one in the other bedroom (hanging and shelves) there wouldn't be a need for chest of drawers. But that's the only thing. I must stress how helpful the owners were, when I got back and thought I'd left my camera - they immediately contacted the lady in the area. (but it was all my fault, found camera later under seat in car!)

“For a 2 bedroom property, there is no wardrobe in the second bedroom.”

Only 3 wine glasses. Only 5 serviceable tea/coffee mugs, the rest where stained or dirty. Cutlery was dirty and had to be washed before used.

“Just returned from a weeks stay at St John's View.”

The cottage has a spacious living area in kitchen diner and separate lounge and 2 good sized double bedrooms downstairs. The cottage had everything we needed and the large enclosed garden was perfect for the family to relax in, and even had a sea view. We got used to the chimes from the church! The nearby local.stoney beach is not ideal for young children/swimming but a nice walk to (very steep) and it has amazing views cross chesil beach from the promenade. We had a fantastic week and St John's was a perfect base to explore the Dorset coast.

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.
