“A truly stunning holiday property with everything you could wish for.”

The furnishings and decoration are extremely tasteful with every possible appliance available - the main TV and sound system is amazing. The location is fantastic for seeing the whole Dorset Coast. We would thoroughly recommend this property. An added plus for us was the fantastic weather during our stay - very lucky.

Julie July 2024

“The house was perfect.”

Very clean very well maintained. Just one thing it only had one double bed. Two divans that you could push together would be good. Apart from that very minor detail I couldn't fault the house at all . Thank you for a wonderful holiday . Julie

“We really enjoyed our stay lovely property very well equipped - we would book again.”

Clearer central heating instructions would have been appreciated rather than pointing you to a complex manufacturers booklet.

- Michelle, October 2023

Very pleased you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for your feedback. We will take a look at the instructions to make sure they are as clear as possible. Property Owner

Himanshu Anil July 2023

“The property was as advised and very comfortable.”

Gaining entry was simple and straight forward, the house keeps warm very well and all the facilities and additional handy items were thoughtful (eg. fan heaters in each bedroom, walking sticks, binoculars, books, DVDs, etc.). The only area of improvement are the window blinds, some were stuck or broken, so we could not open the mail window blind on the first floor bedroom. Also, having a sitting room on the first floor was a bit odd, but we got used to it eventually.

- Himanshu Anil, July 2023

“Property could do with a general clean.”

The oven was filthy and has not been cleaned in a long time. Property very nice and location good, shame about the cleanliness, especially that you cannot get into the property until 4pm which means you lose the best part of a day of your holiday.

- Jonathan, May 2023
Ruth April 2023

“Fantastic property!”

On arrival the house was spotless. Everything you could possibly think of was there, all kitchen utensils, games, dvds, cd’s & books. A very well presented spacious house & furnished beautifully. Would highly recommend for a family holiday to Dorset. Thank you.

- Ruth, April 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback which is much appreciated and we're so pleased you had a great time at Osprey House. We hope to see you again. Property Owner
Ann March 2023

“We enjoyed our stay at Osprey House again.”

It is a very clean, comfortable and well equipped house, close to the beach, marina, cafes, pubs and shops. We are looking forward to returning again later this year. The perfect holiday location for us-thank you.

- Ann, March 2023

Thank you. So pleased you had another such an enjoyable holiday on Portland at Osprey House. See you later in the year! :-) Regards Mark Property Owner

“Great place but the heating wasn't good upstairs.”

Someone came quickly to try to fix it but it was still cold.

Dawn October 2022

“Lovely house, perfect for our family holiday to Weymouth.”

The house was clean with the exception of a few minor details (cobwebs and the door in the en-suite needed a wipe) The beds were comfortable, shower amazing and the washing machine and tumble dryer were a bonus. We loved the house and would stay here again without a doubt. Thank you

- Dawn, October 2022

So pleased you enjoyed your stay and thank you for the lovely feedback. I hope you can come and visit again soon Property Owner

“Beautiful property this was a 2nd stay there.”

Cleaning was much much better than last year. I am totally in love with Portland Weymouth and Dorset. Perfectly positioned for exploring. And wonderful for a family to share. We'll equipped kitchen. Fossil hunting towards Lyme regis is good fun. Monkey World is brilliant for a day out too. Only feeback was Mattresses were a bit uncomfortable/worn but sleepable on. Just not to good for bad backs. You need to keep an eye on them for wear.

- Jane-ann, September 2022
Rachel August 2022

“Really lovely property.”

Spacious kitchen on the ground floor and spacious living room on the first floor. Location was great to visit different parts of the area easily. Parking for two cars really useful. We booked for 8 people; 4 adults and 4 children. The downstairs twin room was only made up for one though, and the pull-out under bed was a bit grubby, with the space under the bed looking like it hadn’t been cleaned in a while- noted by our friend who slept on the pull-out. We did find the extra bedding though so easily sorted. Everywhere else was spotless. The children loved all of the board games and dvd collection during the rainy spells. The adults appreciated the beer fridge. One comment was we could do with a washing line in the garden to hang wet towels and swimsuits. We spent a lovely week here and would happily visit again.

- Rachel, August 2022
Margaret August 2022

“Was a fab house.”

Plenty of everything, comfort, facilities and views. we had a boiler problem and the caretakers came straight away and it was fixed by the morning, wonderful service.

- Margaret, August 2022
Hilary July 2022

“All the family enjoyed their stay in this lovely house.”

It was furnished and equipped so well. We admired all the paintings, and appreciated how well stocked was the kitchen. The wine fridge was a very useful addition. The new LIDL store on the road to the sailing centre was very convenient. There is also a Tescos in Portland.

- Hilary, July 2022

So pleased you enjoyed your stay and thank you for the lovely feedback. I hope you can come and visit again Property Owner
Heather May 2022

“Great house and had plenty of rooms / space, so ideal for larger family holidays.”

Location was great to get to Weymouth, West Bay and around Dorset. Loved the interior in the house aswell. Couldn't find the travel cot on arrival, however one quick phone call and someone was happy to assist (however we then found it so was no need). If you want a family staycation in Dorset then you cannot go wrong with staying here.

- Heather, May 2022
Sharon April 2022

“It was a lovely house with everything you could possibly need.”

Very quiet and peaceful, lovely surroundings very close to 2 local pubs. Lovely spacious lounge and kitchen diner, perfect for our family of 7.

- Sharon, April 2022

Thank you for your kind words. We hope you will come and stay again Property Owner
Daniel October 2021

“Very comfortable and spacious house in Portland.”

Would recommend and go back. Cove Inn and Quiddles cafe highly recommended and within walking distance.

- Daniel, October 2021
Scott September 2021

“The house was in an amazing location, not far from the beach and in easy access to local pubs, also a short drive to Weymouth town centre.”

The only thing I would say is that the cleanliness could have been improved, the grill pan needed cleaning before we used it and some of the glasses weren't great either. Apart from that it was great! I would however ensure you take amenties with you for the kitchen (basics are provided but may need some cling film, foil, condiments etc) we would definitely stay here again 100%.

- Scott, September 2021
Michael August 2021

“Local facilities in Portland could have been better and little to do in evening without going further a field.”

(i.e. Weymouth) Booking tables at local restaurants was a problem.

- Michael, August 2021

Marie December 2019

“The house was fantastic!”

Couldn't have asked for more, plenty of space for 8 of us, and everything we needed was there, the area was so lovely and really enjoyed looking round the island. Would definitely recommend, and I would book to go there again.

- Marie, December 2019
Mark July 2019

“The house was fantastic and in a great position close to the Marina and Chesil beach.”

The house was spacious enough for all members of the family to find somewhere to chill out and do their own thing. We all really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend this house to anyone.

Portland is popular for observing rare migrating birds.

The main seaside town of Weymouth is just minutes away by car or there is a frequent local bus service with bus stop being close to the property.

Here you will find Weymouth's famous sandy beach and the charm of the Georgian seafront amongst other family attractions including the Sealife Centre, parks and cinema.
