“Size, description and location all lovely and as expected.”

Sadly we arrived to a dishwasher full of dirty dishes, glasses and crockery that were unclean, cupboards that were unclean and a washing machine that not only looked like it was dirty but had towels left in it. Under the sofa had dirt and bits other guests had lost under it. The rooms and bathrooms were clean. We also found the hot water to be luke warm even after turning the heater back on. It was a warm weekend so it didn’t make too much of a difference to our stay. Overall it was a lovely ...

It was a warm weekend so it didn’t make too much of a difference to our stay. Overall it was a lovely house and good location it could just do with some refinement considering the price.

Thank you for your valuable feedback, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay at Chesil Views. It is a shame you didn't report these issues during your stay as we would have sent a housekeeper over immediately to rectify them for you. We have done a thorough clean and taken steps to ensure these issues do not occur again in the future. We hope to welcome you back to Dorset in the future. The Dream Cottages Team. Property Owner

“Unfortunately the property needs a good clean throughout, numerous cobwebs which have been there sometime, mouse droppings in the kitchen cupboard (photographic evidence), as well as the cupboards are musty.”

Towels smelt musty too. The top floor shower is not man enough for the house and needs a power shower, the shower arm keeps coming out of the support hole. Unfortunately there was little hot water, it only got warm and we had to boil the kettle for hot water in the sink. Overall we felt the property could do with updating, redecorating and a good clean throughout. The best part was the view.

Thank you for your valuable feedback and we are glad you enjoyed the beautiful view from Chesil Views. Since your stay we have now had a deep clean of the whole house and the pest controller has confirmed there are no rodents present in the property. It is a shame you did not bring the lack of hot water to Dream Cottages attention during your stay as they could have organised a plumber to attend to investigate and fix this issue. We plan on refreshing the decoration now the season is coming to a close. We hope to welcome you back to Portland in the future. Property Owner

“We enjoyed our stay at Chesil View and the accommodation was good for our family of five adults, six children and a dog.”

Portland is a hidden treasure with lots of activities , walks and coves to explore.

“Really nice cottage - up to date decor and furnishings and a lovely space altogether, nice and cosy but still modern.”

However the accessibility of the house is not good - parking spaces are hard to come by and the streets to actually get to the property are tiny and on a VERY steep incline (please ensure your car engines and tyres are up to scratch!) This also means that the property is not very friendly for those who are disabled or those who have young children because it involves lots of walking up very steep inclines. Also the beach, in reality, is about a good 20 mins walk away, which is more than the 5/10 mins advertised on your website! When we checked in, the house was relatively clean but there were still some spots that were obviously missed, ie the bathroom floors were still a bit specky with bits of dirt, and dust. The shower on the third floor was nice but the temperature dial didn’t work and so the water was stuck at a PIPING HOT temperature, which meant we couldn’t really have a comfortable wash (and after long days at the beach you appreciate a good shower). Overall - a nice place to stay, just a few accessibility problems!

“I stayed here with my family to celebrate my 50th birthday and it didn't disappoint Its a beautiful home - thank you for letting us stay in it!”

it was beautifully furnished and tastefully decorated with everything we needed to cater for a large family celebration. The only thing I would perhaps say is that the smaller of the two sofas is really uncomfortable (looks very pretty though) Also, don't expect to park outside the property - unless you arrive during day time hours (mon-fri) This wasn't a major problem as we always managed to find a space further up the road, as long as you don't mind a walk - worth bearing in mind if you have lots of bags to unpack! The location was great with some lovely walks nearby - the mariner is lovely as is the beach and tout quarry park...Lots of hills though which will keep you fit! Thank you again

The property

Chesil Views, a six-bedroom mid-terrace home located in the picturesque village of Fortuneswell in Dorset, is a magnificent property.

Settled on the Isle of Portland in Dorset, Chesil Views, is a great option for a large group or family of 12 who are looking to explore the beautiful region of Dorset.

Look forward to relaxing in the well-appointed sitting room, where you can curl up on the plush sofas and select the evening’s entertainment, courtesy of the TV.

When you start to feel peckish, make your way to the stylish kitchen which is amply equipped with everything you could need to whip up a delicious feast for your loved ones.

Settle down at the dining table for 12 as you tuck-in to a tasty meal and toast to an unforgettable holiday.

Wash away the day with an indulgent soak in the bath or a refreshing rinse in the shower, before choosing from one of six beautifully decorated bedrooms to catch your rest in, three doubles, a twin and two bunk rooms.

After a restful night, prepare for the day in style and wake-up with a steaming cup of coffee, ready to tackle a day of adventures!

Take advantage of your fabulous location, where you can sample the local delicacies at the excellent selection of pubs, restaurants, and cafes, all just a stone’s throw away from Chesil Views!

For those nights when you don't feel like going out, why not order in from Ocean Bay or Chesil Chippy to savour in the comfort of your new home-from-home.

Head to Chesil Beach, where you can enjoy a paddle in the waters, kick-back and relax with your favourite book, or beachcombe the shores.

The 16th-century Portland Castle, which includes a heritage park and tearooms, the Castletown D-Day Center & Museum, and the interesting remnants of Rufus Castle, are great points of interest to visit for the history buffs in your party.

Nearby the South West Coast Path, which offers some of the area's most breath-taking views and ensures you don't miss out on any of the region's attractions, will delight the keen walkers and ramblers of the group.

Visit Weymouth for a fun-filled day with loved ones, where you can stroll the bustling pier, relax on the beach, meet the local marine life at the Sea Life Centre or bird watch at the RSPB Radipole Lake, or challenge your group to a round of pirate miniature golf.

Add a touch of grandeur to your Dorset getaway with a stay at Chesil Views.
