We had a wonderful stay.

Would definitely return. It was immaculately clean. Everything you could want was provided. Thank you very much.

Perfect for a short break using the house as somewhere to crash after being outside walking/on the beach all day.

Being fussy, I would like to say it was a shame the house was going through some decorating work and the upstairs bedroom was mid way through painting and un finished. And from a maintenance point of view I’d like to let the owners know both shower screens are very leaky and that the extractor fan wasn’t working in the shower room. Overall we were very happy so thank you!

This is a great property, spotlessly clean, with plenty of room and bathrooms for a big family or friend group.

We loved the kitchen nook for family meals. Kitchen was well stocked with everything you might need. Location is good. There is not much in Fortuneswell itself but it is a short walk to chesil beach, really easy to drive into Weymouth, and actually much nicer to be away from the hustle and bustle there. Lots to see on Portland, recommend the museum. Parking is tricky, you might be lucky to park on the road, generally we ended up in one of the nearby carparks, which are free, but can be very busy depending on time of day. But don't let that put you off, it is a great house. Co-op just around the corner, and the Chesil Chippie is a cut above.
