"This is my 3rd visit to this property and on the whole is a very nice property, great location and comfortable stay."
However a negative point is that there is no recycling bin at the property which is disappointing and also means the main bin fills up very quickly. This visit the garden furniture and the washing line was not there for use which was sad as the weather was very nice during our stay. This time the towels were not as soft as previous visits. Otherwise a lovely house to stay.

"Lovely holiday home: modern, clean and well equipped."
Good location and accurate photos and description. Great parking.
Only downside was the lack of recycling and the bins. We were a family of 4 and had only a couple of bin bags left for us. There was no recycling which in todays world is awful. Everybody is used to recycling: we did use the recycling plant in one occasion though this is obviously designed for large volumes of recycling not just a couple of cans/papers so wasn’t appropriate to ask people to do. If this would be rectified it would have been prefect.
Thank you!

"We loved our week in this property!"
We have a 10 month old daughter and the downstairs was perfect for us to be able to cook, eat, relax and let her play. We have stayed in a lot of holiday cottages and always found things missing…this house has everything! It was lovely and clean, warm and all the fixtures and fittings are perfect.

"Lovely house, very well equipped, spotlessly clean and in an ideal location for exploring the nearby coast, watching the boats at Portland Marina or walking around Portland itself."
The small enclosed garden was nice to sit in and the nearby enclosed exercise field was handy for our dog.
The only suggestion we would have would be a fan in the bedroom, as others have mentioned, unless you are a very heavy sleeper you would hear traffic noise with the window open at night and the nights were very warm. I did have a good look for a fan as the rest of the house was so well equipped I expected to find one hiding in a cupboard.

"The house could have been cleaned a lot better lots of dirty under sofas."
Also house is nearer a very noisy main house and very hard to sleep with windows open.

"Olympic Cottage was bright, airy and spacious."
Kitchen was very well equipped. The information pack left by the owners was very useful. Portland was a great base for exploring all of the Jurassic Coast which was just stunning. We had a small issue, and raised a query with the owner and they were in contact with us in less than 5 minutes, was really impressed and goes to show that they want you to enjoy your stay and checked back in with us to make sure everything was ok, what more could you ask for. We had to wait along time for the holiday as it was originally scheduled during the 2020 lockdown, but it was well worth the wait. Fantastic holiday in a lovely cottage. Would recommend staying at Olympic Cottage wholeheartedly.

I already sent an email on this property has really really bad road noise from the main hill going up Portland you Gotta say that in the advert I couldn’t relax there for a second and was woken up repeatedly at night there are no effective blinds in the bedrooms so you woken up at 5 am by the light shower control didn’t work properly so my girlfriend got scolded it’s not an expensive property so the house itself met expectations but you’ve got to tell people about the road noise I would never book a place like that if I knew about it

"The cottage was modern, spacious and clean."
It was perfectly located in order to explore Portland, Weymouth and the Jurassic Coast. Everything met our expectations although I would like to suggest that the bathroom may be updated to include either a walk-in shower and/or a bigger, more powerful, shower head. There is an enclosed grass area at the back of the complex where we were able to let our dog off the lead for a run - very useful! Although, he was tired from all the walking anyway! We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it to our friends.

"Very disappointed in the cleanliness of the house considering we were not allowed in until 5 to give extra time to clean because of Covid I presume."
It smelt very strongly of disinfectant but looking closer it was dirty. I had to clean the whole house before we unpacked. The floor in the lounge was disgraceful. There was cobwebs in all corners, I had to contact the owner as no bins had been emptied and they were overflowing and all over the garden who arranged for this to be collected straight away. And may I add he was a really nice gentleman who was very concerned about this issue and wished us a happy stay.
