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.

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!

“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.

“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

“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.
