Situated on the rugged and beautiful isle of Portland, Bowman's is a character, terraced Dorset holiday cottage located on the wide avenue which is Wakeham.
Internally, the owners have sympathetically updated the decor in a contemporary style, whilst maintaining the original and eye-catching features of the cottage, including exposed Portland stone walls, quarry tiled flooring and fireplaces (not in use) in the sitting room.
The galley style kitchen provides the ideal place to rustle up an evening meal complete with separate dining room.
Cottage style stairs lead you up to the two bedrooms and bathroom.
The sea around Weymouth and Portland hosted the 2012 Olympic sailing events - they attract many visitors and are perfect for water sports, including sailing, wind surfing and kite surfing.
Other visitors love the bird watching, fishing, walking and climbing that is on the doorstep in Portland; walks can encompass the iconic 'Portland Bill' lighthouse and quarries.
Just a few minutes walk from the cottage, there is a beautiful area called 'Church Ope Cove'.
Here you will find the pretty Portland museum and a walkway which leads to the secluded Cove.
The walk way passes under an impressive stone arch and a little further along is Rufus Castle (a ruin) with panoramic views along the Jurassic Coast.
A few minutes down steep steps (150) takes you to Church Ope Cove.
Neighbouring Easton has good amenities, including two supermarkets, cafes and independent local shops.
A relatively short drive or bus journey away is the main resort of Weymouth, which has a long, beautiful, sandy beach, traditional entertainments and good shopping.
This Portland Stone cottage provides an ideal base for exploring the Jurassic coast at any time of the year.
