Mrs Barry - Court
July 2021

“Door in bathroom very hard to shut.”

Gate to get key hard had to climb to get open. Microwave does not work effectively. Fence had hole in it where next door dogs got through.

“Castle View is a lovely house, in a quiet area, very close to Portland Marina with lovely views.”

A 'home from home' brilliantly equipped with everything a family (plus, in our case a well behaved dog) could require. Access was easy and the house was immaculately presented and very clean. There were lots of very interesting places to visit on Portland (our favourites were the D Day Museum (a real hands on experience run by friendly volunteers - you need to spend around 2 hours there to appreciate everything on display), Portland Bill & the castle. There was also paddle boarding, diving, snorkelling etc & a couple of great cafes at the Marina, all near a good area of green to walk the dog, not forgetting Chesil Beach (5 mins walk). Small local shops and pubs were in easy walking distance and there was a Lidl just down the road. Easy access to Weymouth and the rest of Dorset made this a very enjoyable stay.

Mrs Boatman October 2020

“The house was very well equipped with a tasteful nautical theme, which we really appreciated.”

It was the perfect location for a relaxing holiday, with a short walk to Chesil Beach and the marina. We hope to return soon.

“It was spacious, good area, right near everything we needed, good sized area for dog and two of us.”

Clean and tidy. A nice comfortable stay!

Mrs Wharmby September 2020

“The house was ideally placed to visit a lot of places, have a walk round the harbour or cross to Chesil Bank and walk across the top.”

It is a beautiful house, comfortable and was very clean. It was ideal

Mr Mcgowen October 2019

“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.

Mrs Woolley August 2019

“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.”

“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.

- Mr Young, June 2019
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.”

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.
