Alpen Rose Cottage

Such a lovely house which surpassed our expectations.

Beautifully decorated and very well maintained. We had a fabulous week and would absolutely return to Alpen Rose Cottage.

First impressions were positive.

Everything we needed was there and property was spacious and well laid out.Negatives for us were that the furniture was too low and uncomfortable in the living room.The double bed was also too low and corners and end were wooden and liable for accidental injury if hitting legs on .I moved in to single bed which I found more comfortable.Nice outside courtyard with flowers all around.Good location for us to stay as no longer drive and buses were convenient and stopped near by.

Beautiful cottage with fantastic facilities, but the bed was so uncomfortable, my husband and I didn't have one decent night's sleep.

And the parking to the rear of the property is a joke. We went in there first, and then struggled to get back out, and we don't have a big car. It's probably not worth mentioning on the parking instructions.

All lovely - however we moved over from the king bed to the singles as the king bed was so uncomfortable for us.

Therefore this feedback only for owners. Loved the abundance of loo roll, soap and bin liners. Having washing machine AND dryer was the dream!

Fantastic cottage in a great location.

Was really spacious for a family of 4 and our dog. The cottage was spotlessly clean and had everything we could have needed. Parking was no problem, and there is a Co-op and large Tesco within walking distance. It was a great base to explore Portland and the surrounding areas. Thank you Sue and Dave!

The cottage was excellent very clean and very comfortable… everything you needed was there.

. great location too not too far from the coast by car or by walk… weather made the holiday even better.. I can’t recommend this cottage any higher!!! Just brilliant and I hope to be back again one day in the future

Lovely cottage and location, which is close enough to beaches and activities…only a short drive away.

What a pleasure to stay in this beautiful cottage.

Every attention to detail was considered by the owners. Modern, spotlessly clean, a lovely cottage garden. Would certainly return should we ever go back to this area.

Well we walked through the door and were immediately wowed .

We have stayed in quite a few holiday cottages some lovely some not so good but Alpen Rose off the the scale gorgeous . Alot if thought and time had been spent on making this cottage comfortable and a true home from home . Beautifully decorated . Plenty of towels hot water cutlery and crockery . The furniture in lounge very comfortable . Can not recommend highly enough

Property brilliant and exactly as described.

Very comfortable and well decorated to a very high standard. The location is a bit disappointing in terms of places to eat being limited although the Heights and the George were both available for meals out. Really enjoyed our Dorset experience and the cottage.

We really enjoyed our stay, the cottage was well equipped and comfortable.

Lots of little things that made the stay home from home. Parking in front of the garage opposite made it easy as on street parking is tight. The owner did kindly contact me to make sure I new about it . The courtyard garden was delightful and green space is only a short walk away to take your dog out . We most certainly would stay again.

Fabulous stay, the cottage was beautifully decorated, fully equipped and very very clean.

Lovely place to stay.

Clean and comfortable. Would definitely recommend it.

Enjoyed our stay in the cottage.

Loved the walled garden and decoration.

Cottage was clean, tidy and very comfortable.

A home from home with everything you could possibly need. A lot of thought, time and effort has gone into this property. Thank you Sue and Dave for a wonderful stay in your delightful cottage. Would highly recommend.

We had a lovely stay, small issues with how to work the oven, which we resolved.

Cleaning products should be left to keep with the standards that you wish the property to be kept.Eg Toilet, bleach,cleaner mop and bucket, the hoover needs filters changed and as stated clean oven after use Provide a cleaner, we don't travel with all these cleaning products, but respect our own and other people's properties.

Alpen Rose Cottage is beautiful.

Very impressed as soon as we walked through the door. Very clean and tidy. Well furnished woth lots of Portland history. The walled garden was in full bloom and smelt lovely. Clearly takes someone lots of time to maintain. The cottage came fully equipped including towels, sky TV and a full kitchen (minus food) There is a large Tesco just around the corner as well as plenty of fast food and pubs within walking distance. Lots of dog walks and places to explore and investigate. We visited Church Ope Cove, Portland Museum, Rufus Castle, snorkelled and attempted paddle boarding at Lulworth Cove, fossil hunting on Charnmouth beach, sandcastles on Weymouth Beach, Corfe Castle, Portland Bill, Portland Castle and Portland Marina. Can't recommend Alpen Rose Cottage Portland highly enough as a place to stay.

Thanks for a great week, your house was lovely which made our stay even better.

The walled garden is great, the downstairs loo is not mentioned in the details, and was a great addition facility.

Beautiful cottage really enjoyed our stay here.

Great holiday cottage with everything we could need for a very comfortable stay.

Great location and very well equipped cottage. Would love to return one day. The kids absolutely loved it too.

Great cottage, with everything and more you need for a great stay, parking at the back was a bit tight for our medium size car, so we parked after the first day outside the middle garage opposite, although during the day you could park outside the cottage when people are at work.

So all in all a lovely week in a lovely cottage. The very local fish and chip shop and Chinese takeaway are great, but we went to miss Piggies Pantry to get some cakes, and for 2 doughnuts and a small sausage roll, came to £6 ! And the Lobster Pot down on the Bill charges £9 for 2 coffees and a small beer taken outside, so just be wary, otherwise a great cottage and area to stay in.

This is one of the best appointed cottages we've ever stayed in.

Comfy beds and everything in first class condition. The courtyard garden is very pretty . There's lots to do on Portland and the cottage is in a village minutes, 10 minutes walk to the South west coastal.path, a short drive to Chesil beach and 20 minutes ( approx) from Weymouth. We had a great 6 days stay. Thank you.

Alpen Rose was every bit as nice as the pictures shown, homely, clean, welcoming and comfortable.

Everything you could want was catered for. There is a lovely little walled garden you come through to enter the back of the house. The cottage is in a perfect location to explore Portland, which itself was a revelation to us, not having been there before. The view from the top of the isle over Chesil Beach at sunset was simply breathtaking, quite literally! We were lucky enough to get quite a bit of sunshine despite bad weather reports and the view over Chesil Beach in the sunshine was magical too. The cottage is only about 7 or 8 minutes away from the Portland Bill lighthouse and though we knew we wouldn't yet be allowed to climb it because of Covid, we decided to visit the spot anyway. We sat on massive rocks watching (and listening) to huge white crested breakers crashing onto the rocks below. We never expected that, and the experience was mesmerising. Because we stayed the week before lockdown was due to ease on May 17th no indoor hospitality or museums etc. were open, however there seemed to be no shortage of cafes. little shops and restaurants to visit on Portland from the 17th. There is a supermarket just 5 minutes drive from the cottage where you can stock up on supplies, and a wonderful little fish and chip shop just 3 minutes walk away which I can highly recommend. The beach at Weymouth was stunning, and we loved walking the length of it, with the tide coming in and beautiful white waves lapping the beach from an aquamarine sea. We feel very fortunate to have found Alpen Rose on Portland and cannot wait to go back again.

The house was lovely and had everything you need.

I did find the Windows tricky but it wasn't a big problem and some of the duvets were a bit heavy. These are small problems that did not in any way take away from the fact that the house was really, really nice. There are also lovely neighbours. Thankyou very much. ps you should mention that you DO have Sky tv and also a downstairs WC that wasn't mentioned.

Fantastic place to stay and would definitely re book

Lovely cottage, a real home from home. Lovely friendly place. We would definitely go back there & would highly recommend. Stayed May 2016
