  • "Lovely house with a great enclosed garden for the dogs."

    House had everything we needed for the week and was clean. Nice location, walking distance of Portland Bill and two nice pubs.

  • "Cliffwalk was lovely from start to finish, accommodation is great and very comfortable."

    Lots to explore in the area, as a family with our dog we had great days out and coming back to have some chill time in the hot tub was lovely. The hosts communication from the start was excellent. We will be looking to stay here again.

    Thank you for your lovely review, glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

  • "Whilst we had a very nice holiday in an area of the UK not visited in over 60 years, there were some property issues."

    It was nice to have a whole house to ourselves (usually it's a caravan or a lodge or a chalet. The main issue was the over-bath shower which could not be operated at all. This resulted in having far too many quick baths as we did use the hot-tub every day. The bathroom floor tiling is very bad with open joints and broken corners plus massive amounts of silicone sealer around the bath and shower screen. The microwave is either broken or so impossible to set it is very difficult to use (no manual found). The toaster is much too small and even for a standard slice of bread has to be cooked in two goes. While the hot-tub was fully working, it is badly age stained (consider a professional waterproof high gloss interior repaint) we did enjoy it's use every day. The wooden decking floor is in very poor condition and is/has rotted away in quite a few places. It was impossible to get 'Netflix' on the main lounge tv despite having a good internet connection. Hoping you take these comments as constructive. Unfortunately, as in the famous comment from the channel 4 series "Four in a Bed" would you stay here again: I am sorry to say it has to be a "NO"

    The cover of the hot tub fell on my wife when she was in it, so that also needs sorting. It is in a good location and was comfortable.

    Very sorry the property was dusty when you arrived we have changed the cleaner since your stay, we have installed a hot tub cover lifter so shouldn’t have the problem with the cover falling over. Thank you for your feedback. Property Owner

    This is an ideal place to stay in easy reach of beaches, things to do, the accommodation is adequate has all the things you need, the double bed was quite compy although my hubby being quite tall couldn't stretch his legs due to the bed frame at bottom of the bed he managed though, we enjoyed our stay

    !! Great location easy as pie for the SW coast path and good road links for further travel. WiFi a bit slow but not sure if that’s something to do with the location. Kitchen good bathroom good would happily stay there again

  • "It was a lovely stay."

    Beautiful garden comfy pillows and double bed. Definitely better than our one at home we both fell fast asleep within minutes on the bed. Shower was lovely and moderately easy to change from different settings and the bath setting. The nobs did get stuck but got it sorted. A great shower glass to keep splashes to a minimum and fantastic water pressure. Downstairs toilet was very spacious and helped with four people.Hot tub was fabulous and there was even charcoal and all the tools for BBQ. Only difficulty was drying all the towels and clothes. A stand aside tumble dryer in the shed or airing cupboard upstairs would make this amazing. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils and sauses and herbs almost absolutely everything. Just missed my normal tupaware to put left overs away in the fridge for later. Couldn't find the food recycling but absolutely fantastic stay and we would definitely book this again every time we come down to Dorset. Thank you for a lovely stay and trusting us with your house and belongings.

  • "The house was extremely well presented with a high standard of cleanliness."

    Bedrooms were well proportioned and comfortable with plenty of storage space and wardrobe facilities. Ideally located for walks around Portland, particularly cliff walks to Portland Bill. The addition of the hot tub, which we used even though it was October was very much appreciated, We had a wonderful stay and will definitely be back.

    Lovely cottage ideal for 2 and a small dog hot tub a bonus Ideal setting to discover the surrounding areas and coastlines We did find the cottage in need of TLC In the cottage it had everything you needed we used the washing machine had no dirty laundry to fetch home Shops n pubs close

    Glad you enjoyed your stay at Cliffwalk unfortunately during the summer period we don’t have the time to do a lot of maintenance as the cottage is booked. We do however try to repair and paint any damage in the property. We are now in the process of fitting a hand rail by the bath and putting TV s the bedrooms. Property Owner

  • "Hot tub should be emptied and throughly disinfected between guests and it is evident that is not the case."

    Comfortable cottage with convenient car parking space and good sized garden to accommodate our dog, though the very low fence between the neighbouring property meant it lacked privacy. Kitchen small so difficult to prepare meals with lack of counter space but has everything needed. Sofas very small and would not comfortably accommodate 4 adults. Double bed was very comfortable. Location great for walks along the coast path.

    It felt like a home from home. Facilities are great, it was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed as a family of four. There was so much additional things already there such as washing up liquid and hand soap it was really great to have everything on hand. Good communication with the host and no trouble accessing the property or any of the facilities. Garden and hot tub are lovely additions. I am looking forward to returning.

  • "The house had everything we needed for a peaceful break away."

    It was like a home from home. There are areas which needed a little attention with cleaning, skirting boards and door frames need wiping down but it didn’t affect our stay. Washing machine was a god send and meant I had no holiday washing to do when we got home. The back garden is a little a sun trap and the hot tub was lovely to jump into after a hot day exploring. Welcome folder had everything in it that we needed. Parking space was used all week, in fact, we only used the front door once and that was when we arrived. Area is very quiet, despite being in a residential area. Short walk to coastal path from house. Lots of walks on Portland and lots to see. Lots to do and see in Dorset. You definitely need transport when staying here.

The property

Cliffwalk Cottage, a charming two-bedroom holiday home, is located on the lovely Dorset promontory of Portland Bill and is perfect for a couple, a group of friends, or a small family.

This home makes the ideal coastal retreat with a bubbling hot tub to enjoy and conveniences close by.

Off-road parking welcomes you when you arrive at this stylish cottage.

From there, you can enter the living/dining area, which has patio doors leading directly to the backyard.

Before watching a film or spending time in the garden, eat dinner at the table and plan your next adventure in the area.

Your four-legged buddy can stretch their legs as you enjoy the sunny weather in the garden, home to the hot tub and furniture.

Back inside, the ground floor is finished off by the well-equipped kitchen, which has everything you need for a self-catered stay.

A double and a twin bedroom upstairs offer a place to rest before an exciting day, as well as a bathroom where you can get ready for the day.

Portland is a wonderful seaside town to discover when you have time to explore.

A highlight is the Portland Castle, which is also home to a charming museum with displays on the local history and maritime traditions.

Don't miss Portland Alpacas, a farm with gorgeous animals, and Blacknor Fort, a well-preserved castle from the 16th century.

There are many restaurants and bars in this area, including The Cove House Inn, which serves up fresh seafood and if you're in the mood for takeout, Cod Fathers is where you should go for mouth-watering fish and chips.

Weymouth, a quaint seaside town that is conveniently located, is well-known for its stunning coastline, sandy beaches, and Weymouth Harbour, a well-liked location for sailing and fishing.

On a hilltop overlooking the harbour, Nothe Gardens is a lovely park, and Nothe Fort is a popular tourist destination that dates back to the 19th century.

There are several restaurants and cafés to enjoy in the town centre, and the coastline is a lovely area for a stroll or a picnic.

PORTLAND BILL

Portland Bill is a narrow promontory on the end of the rugged Isle of Portland peninsula which is joined to the mainland via Chesil Beach, a pebble spit, which stretches 18 miles towards West Bay. Situated on Dorset's spectacular Jurassic Coast, now a World Heritage Site, Portland Bill is home to three lighthouses, the most recent built in 1906 being the 35 meter tall, white and red striped Portland Bill Lighthouse. Portland Bill is home to a pub and a restaurant/café as well as the Portland Bird Observatory. Formerly a quarrying area, the stunning coastal scenery and footpaths provide excellent walking and the surrounding countryside is well known as a birdwatcher’s paradise! The local communities of Fortuneswell and Easton boast a good variety of shops, pubs and restaurants. With great climbing opportunities and an array of watersports activities on offer locally, plus the wonderful sandy beaches and the pretty harbour at Weymouth just 9 miles away, this super holiday destination is not to be missed!
