    “We had an absolutely wonderful stay and loved the house, which retained its history and period elegance, whilst being very well fitted-out with every possible modern facility.”

    Thank you for the wonderful hamper, which was so generous and very delicious. All the beds were extremely comfortable and the bedding was heavenly. The only point to make is that the top bathroom sink kept getting blocked, with the water rising up. We were out all day and didn't want to haul you in to fix it, but you may want to take a look. Probably just needs a good plunger. Anyway, thank you again so much, and we'll be back!

A homely sitting area for people watching is provided by the town's large bay windows.

Just seven miles away are the glorious gently shelving beaches and picturesque harbour of Weymouth, and the rugged peninsula of Portland, linked to the mainland by Chesil Beach, part of the breathtaking World Heritage Coastline.
