“The cottage was very clean and we really appreciated the little extras - cleaning products supplied and dog bowls, even a tin of dog biscuits.”

We chose the cottage to be near the WPNSA, where we spent every day at the RYA Youth nationals. It was within walking distance and we had space to rinse out and hang sailing kit to dry overnight, so perfect for our needs.

“Having stayed in various cottages from Dream Cottages, Unicorn cottage was the cleanest.”

The decor and facilities were excellent and I would definitely recommend it to anyone, and also Dream Cottages as a holiday letting company. Stayed September 2017.

“It is the second Dream Cottage that we have stayed in and as before we found the property to be Excellent, It was lovely and clean and had every thing that we needed!”

It was full of local Information which we found very useful as we had not been to Portland before. We would Highly recommend this property to 2 adult couples like us, or it would also be ideal for a family! 10 out of 10 for everything. Thank you and we look forward to booking another Dream Cottage soon. Stayed July 2017

The property

Unicorn is situated on the Isle of Portland, within sight and sound of the acclaimed Chesil Beach.

A traditional style terraced house, with glimpses of the sea and thoughtfully refurbished by the current owners, this charming holiday cottage has a sunny kitchen sun room and views up to the Olympic Rings on the top of Portland perfect for sitting with your morning coffee and contemplating the day.

After a full day of exploring relax in the spacious and yet cosy sitting room with it’s electric wood burner.

With two showers there won’t be a que in the morning for the bathroom.

Leaving the cottage, walk through the lanes down to the beach and here you may choose to fish, beachcomb or just enjoy the wonderful scenery.

Sunsets from Chesil beach are often spectacular and not to be missed.

Having viewed a glorious sunset then why not try The Cove House Inn or Quiddles, recommended by previous guests for dining, and nestled next to the Chesil beach.

Just a short walk away from Unicorn are a supermarket, pubs and shops and around a 15-minute walk away is The National Sailing Academy, making Unicorn a perfect base for water sports enthusiasts.

To explore Portland take the South West Coastal Path which leads you all around the exterior of the island taking in the rugged landscape, old quarries and famous Portland Bill Lighthouse.

The nearby town of Weymouth, just a short bus or car journey away welcomes guests with a long and sandy beach, traditional beach entertainments and a vibrant town centre.

So you can be assured of an exciting holiday filled with adventures.

Don’t forget Dorchester, the county town is only 14 miles away and if stunning coastal scenes are your desire then you have the Portland to West Bay road for incredible views and places to see.

Unicorn is perfect for a couple, or friends who enjoy walking, or a small family.
