“General cleanliness was poor, rubbish from previous people not removed we rang office and were told it would be dealt with it never happened by the time we left bins overflowing.”

“The house was right opposite the landing strip for the training helicopter, which was very loud, 4 days of our stay.”

Also the house was on a new build site, so builders there working every day.. we weren’t informed about this, not much of a relaxed quiet few days away.
Ms Fergusson July 2019

“A lovely, well equipped and perfectly furnished cottage.”

Great place as a base to visit some breathtaking coastal scenery, castles, museums and of course Portland lighthouse. The back yard is fabulous for eating al fresco.

“As other people have said, the listing needs altering as it is not accurate/confusing.”

There is NO allocated parking (although parking isn't a problem) and you should make it clearer that the property is on an estate that is still being built with builders noise / lorries / dust etc from 7am each weekday. That said, it is a lovely, modern, new built property that had everything we needed and I would stay here again. It was great to explore Portland and Weymouth and would recommend people visit the Tout Quarry Nature Reserve (lots of sculptures to find in a lovely setting with views out across Chesil Beach). The Rodwell Trail is a lovely walk into Weymouth itself.
Mrs Howorth June 2019

“The house was extremely well furnished, clean and in a convenient location.”

Point no 1 - there was no 'bay parking' as described on the website. Point No 2 - the most important thing that was not mentioned was that the property is literally on a building site. This resulted in, starting at 7am every morning, diggers/fork lift trucks/general building site noises/builders vans parked everywhere. When the site is finished, it would be a property i would recommend - but not yet!

“Oven malfunction caused ground floor lights to trip.”

The property

Castle View is a wonderful end-terrace cottage resting within the village of Fortuneswell, Portland.

Perched on the famous Jurassic Coast, this elegantly-styled cottage promises a traditional seaside getaway for a family holiday to Dorset.

On the ground-floor you will find a well-presented sitting room, boasting a charming nautical theme as a quiet reminder of the cottage's wonderful surroundings.

The designated chef will be delighted with the amply equipped kitchen, where you will find all the necessities required for a week long break with your loved ones.

As the evening draws to a close, indulge with a relaxing soak within the stylish family bathroom before heading up the staircase to retire to one of the two brightly-decorated bedrooms, comprising of a double bedroom and a twin bedroom.

To the outside, you will find a delightful patio area which is perfect for enjoying a spot of alfresco dining or tucking into your breakfast before heading out for the day.

If you do not feel like a break from cooking, a leisurely stroll will bring you to a wealth of shops, restaurants and pubs within the village of Fortuneswell, offering something to suit all ages and tastes.

For days out, spend some time at the 18-mile-long beach which is a superb spot for birdwatching, coastal walks and tackling one of the many watersports on offer.

Alternatively, brush up on the local history by visiting the impressive 16th century Portland Castle, where you can explore the gun platforms, a Tudor-style kitchen and enjoy breath-taking sea views.

All-in-all, Castle View promises a memorable stay within a location filled with things to do.

About the location

FORTUNESWELL

Weymouth 5 miles.

Situated on Dorset's spectacular Jurassic Coast, now a World Heritage Site, the village of Fortuneswell can be found on the rugged Isle of Portland peninsula, joined to the mainland via Chesil Beach, a pebble spit, which stretches 18 miles towards West Bay. Formerly a quarrying area, Fortuneswell boasts a good variety of shops, pubs and restaurants, along with an intriguing maze of streets that wind their way up a steep hill to offer stunning views of the Jurassic Coast and the rolling hills of Dorset beyond. The surrounding countryside is well known as a birdwatcher’s paradise, plus with great walking and climbing opportunities, an array of watersport activities, wonderful sandy beaches, and Weymouth just 5 miles away, this super holiday destination is not to be missed!

Please note that there are some ongoing building works in the area.
