“Great cottage with everything we needed and a nice garden to relax in at the end of the day.”

We had amazing weather too, so the ideal staycation (my only recommendation would be for the addition of a few fans just in case we have such good weather again)

“Lovely holiday home with everything you need.”

Excellent location and perfect for a base to explore Portland. Really enjoyed the area and some amazing scenery and walks. Only slight niggle was it was difficult to maintain hot water so showers were variable, but otherwise can’t speak highly enough and would love to return to Charlton House.

Mr Baverstock June 2021

“Charlton House was a great cottage, with everything you could need for a holiday cottage away from home, with plenty of space and high quality facilities.”

Plenty to do on the Isle of Portland, particularly walking and cycling, as well as being close to the towns of Weymouth and Dorchester.

- Mr Baverstock, June 2021
Mr Normand May 2021

“Spotlessly clean.”

Fully equipped. Comfortable. Quiet. Convenient for local shops and well-placed for walks and for seeing the island.

Mr Hibbert May 2021

“The house was very nice and presented very well with facilities that went beyond our expectations.”

However, the two double beds were very hard for our liking.

Mr Barker October 2020

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the cottage, found it very comfortable, warm and spacious for three adults.”

The house is well cared for and strikes a nice balance combining traditional features and modern conveniences. The facilities were particularly good - especially in the kitchen and lounge and as present circumstances meant we catered for ourselves most of the time, this was important. The property is in a good position for getting about and parking wasn't difficult despite the road being a busy one. This was the only down point as being on a hill the traffic noise was something we hadn't expected. However, the double glazing ensured minimal disturbance. One criticism: although there is a Recycle Centre a short distance away, there seems to be no provision made at the property to ensure guests are able to recycle waste properly. This could be easily rectified.

“This lovely house is in a great location near Easton Square and shops.”

We loved the facilities and really enjoyed the garden space.The house was immaculate and we hope to return there next summer if it is available.

“Loved Charlton house and all credit to the owner and cleaning team who presented the property to such a high standard.”

Everything you could possibly want when away from home. The kitchen was furnished with fridge/freezer, dishwasher and an absolutely fantastic oven. A very spacious 3 bedroom property with comfortable beds and two lovely decking areas outside. Perfect to catch the sunshine in a sheltered location. Trying to find parking directly outside was a slight pain at times but not something that would put me off in the future. A great location for exploring Dorset and the Isle of Portland itself with more than adequate shops, pubs and a lovely fish and chip shop just around the corner. Perhaps the local information in the pack could be updated to reflect more of the local amenities rather than pointing to Weymouth as a first port of call for restaurants/pubs/supermarkets/shops etc. The only issue I would have would be that initially I had booked a dog for the week.... I cancelled about 2 weeks prior to arrival however the additional cost was not returned despite asking. I can only guess that is a reflection on Sykes and not the owners. Would I book the same property ? Yes I would without doubt though I would probably go via a different agent given the non refund policy regarding the dog cancellation.

“Lovely cottage and quiet garden with sunny sitting/dining area and enjoyed sitting in egg chair with my book chillaxing.”

It has great access for walks, local shops and a couple of pubs. Would definitely stay in that cottage and area again. Cottage had everything we wanted and was very clean and fresh. The coastline is ideal for walking to Portland Bill and the old quarries are definitely worth a walk around. We both loved the area and Molly our spaniel was very happy

Mrs Casey August 2020

“The house was lovely, spotlessly clean & the location was fabulous.”

We loved exploring the quarries & the town had everything we needed. Only slight disappointment was the dining table was small and only really seated 4- a shame given the house sleeps six.

- Mrs Casey, August 2020
Mr Marsh February 2020

“Charlton House is a wonderful place to stay.”

The house itself was amazing. Spotlessly clean and really comfortable. It is in a good location, walking distance from the shops and only a short drive to Portland Bill. We love visiting Portland and we hope to stay at Charlton House again soon.

- Mr Marsh, February 2020

“Unfortunately the house wasn't cleaned properly between guests.”

The downstairs toilet was covered in urine ( I had to clean it) the little bin in there also had not been emptied and was full from the previous guests visit. The bathroom had a dirty tea cup on the window sill, with spillage stains. The back bedrooms bin also wasn't emptied since the last guests departure. The front bedroom has a glass in the wardrobe and I also felt that the mattress protector needed renewing as this was also covered in stains. I reported this to Dream cottages, as I had cleaned the loo there was no need for our holiday to be interrupted by getting the house cleaned again. However I do feel its important to let you know that the standard of the clean was very poor, and extremely disappointing.

- Mrs Gent, December 2019

Thank you for your valuable feedback and please accept our sincere apologies that the cleaning was not up to our normal high standards. We thank you for making us aware of the issues on your arrival but we would have been keen to arrange a revisit immediately, to rectify the situation Owner relations

“Well equipped holiday home, comfortable and relaxing.”

Good location, close to shops and a frequent bus service runs right by the house.

The property was lovely however it would have been handy to have had an option of a stair gate as we had a young child but other than that it was great

“I wanted to write a review as soon as we were back!”

! We have just had the most amazing week at Charlton House. Firstly the house is lovely, a perfect location for a holiday in Dorset! The street it is located on is in perfect walking distance of all amenities necessary, even a vets which we had to use whilst we there too!! There is a Co-op with a cash point, takeaways for all tastes, newsagents, large Tesco for a proper shop when you get there! The house itself offers lots of space for 6 people and a dog! Lovely courtyard garden, 3 ample sized double rooms, 2 reception rooms and dining room. Perfect! We also visited many of the sights around too! Must sees are Portland Bill, Portland Castle, Chesil Beach, Weymouth Harbour/town and beach, Lulworth Cove! There are also lots of beautiful coastal walks that we did too - these are great for you to see the stunning views that Portland has to offer! We will 100% be back as there are so many other places we wanted to visit we just ran out of time!! Thanks again for providing the perfect base for our week away!

Mrs Crockford August 2019

“Such a beautiful house which reminded me of the house I grew up in.”

I appreciated the small details in making each room attractive and a home from home. Thank you for letting us stay.

Mr Wilmore July 2019

“Charlton House provided a fantastic and high quality accomodation for our week on Portland.”

The cottage was exceptional and provided everything required for a very comfortable stay. The location was also brilliant for access to Portland attractions or the Dorset coastline. We loved the week and would highly recommend. Very clean and well equipped accomodation

Mr Kirk July 2019

“We really enjoyed our stay at Charlton House, we were in need of a relaxing break where we could take things at our own pace.”

The property was nice and comfortable especially the bed's, it had all the facilities you would expect. We had our own transport but there was a frequent bus service on the doorstep and pub's, shops and supermarkets were within walking distance. There were also many coastal paths to explore. We found the local people to be really pleasant and friendly. The patio at the rear of the house caught the sun most of the day and was a nice area to eat breakfast and just chill. Negative points - there was only one front door key provided which was an inconvenience when members of the family wanted to do different activities. The washing machine left clothes covered in grime on the first two washes ( this was remedied by doing a hot wash with no clothes in to flush out all the grime ). The washing line was frayed and falling to pieces and one of the sun lounges was on it's last legs. Families with young children need to be made aware that some of the upstairs windows could allow infants to fall from the first floor as there are no restrictors or guards fitted. All the negative points can easily be addressed and we would be happy to return to Charlton House some time in the future.
