“Our second visit to Unicorn cottage.”

It was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. We spent many of our mornings in the garden room, my Jack Russell loved the garden. We enjoyed sitting on Chesil Beach with a takeaway from Chesil Chippie (awesome vegan menu) watching sunset! Our visit to West Bay and Bridport was very special. The Smuggler’s Inn at Osmington worth a visit (you need to book). A warm hearty lunch at White Stones Art Cafe, or The Sugar Loaf at Easton (both cater for vegans), followed by a walk down to ...

It was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. We spent many of our mornings in the garden room, my Jack Russell loved the garden. We enjoyed sitting on Chesil Beach with a takeaway from Chesil Chippie (awesome vegan menu) watching sunset! Our visit to West Bay and Bridport was very special. The Smuggler’s Inn at Osmington worth a visit (you need to book). A warm hearty lunch at White Stones Art Cafe, or The Sugar Loaf at Easton (both cater for vegans), followed by a walk down to Church Ope Cove (very peaceful!). We used the buses to get around Portland and Weymouth (great service). Thank you! We’ll be back soon! Anna & Josie (woof!)

“Everything was perfectly clean and sanitised.”

David and Janet offered a wide array of information in the visitor package at home. Where to eat, walkings, countryside excursions, everything is at hand from Portland! A great spot for a family vacation.

Well equipped, exceptionally clean and in a great position to access the beach and the local amenities. We stayed for a fortnight and have already booked again for next summer!

“Idyllic character cottage in great location with good facilities and nice little dog-proof garden”

Miss Lightfoot January 2020

“Both myself and my Jack Russell enjoyed our stay at Unicorn cottage.”

We found it warm, cosy and spotlessly clean. Janet & David have created a very ‘special’ Dream Cottage, and just like its name, it felt truly ‘magical.’ We loved the pet towels, pet blanket, and dog bowls, and the unique ‘Woof’ corner. We loved the location, a few minutes walk to Chesil Beach, Quiddles bar, restaurant, and The Cove Inn. We fell in love with Portland, and the friendly, quirky locals. Thank you! we’ll be returning soon!! Anna & Josie (the Jack Russell)

- Miss Lightfoot, January 2020

Many thanks for your feedback. We were delighted to welcome you both to Unicorn and we look forward to seeing you again soon. Owner relations

“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.
