holiday cottages dorset

Welcome to Weymouth & Portland!

Home to two charming Victorian cottages for self catering holidays in Dorset.

Weymouth is a wonderfully picturesque and historic town to base a Dorset holiday, and our three bedroomed terraced cottage Chapelhay, offers comfortable accomodation.

Portland, connected to Weymouth by a shingle bank know as Chesil Beach offers a slightly different holiday. Quieter than Weymouth (though only a few minutes away by car) it is a delight for nature lovers and water sports enthusiasts alike. Mimosa, our 4 bedroomed cottage with sea views makes a wonderful year round base for your holiday.

Chapelhay Cottage
A charming 3 bedroomed Victorian terraced cottage, beautifully furnished, situated in a quiet lane a few moments' walk from the highlights of this historic town on Dorset's World Heritage Coast, including the quaint old harbour, award winning Brewer's Quay, Nothe Fort and Gardens and the clean, sandy, child friendly beaches.

Meticulously restored and decorated, the cottage retains its Victorian feel but has all the modern comforts needed to enjoy your stay in this beautiful corner of Dorset.
There are polished floorboards with rugs throughout. The main features of Chapelhay Cottage are:
large sitting/dining room with open fireplace and cosy log burning stove, leather sofas and a beautiful glass topped dining table with antique church pew benches. TV, video, stereo system, books, videos, games and tourist information all provided.

Bedrooms – 3, sleeping 6 plus cot, all on the first floor. Beautiful master bedroom with double iron bedstead, feature Victorian fireplace (non working), wardrobes, tables, lamps and cosy rugs. Second bedroom with Victorian fireplace, and twin single pine beds. At 2' 6" these are suitable for children, but at full adult length (6ft 3") they are likely to be comfortable for many adults too.

A single guest bed fits under the main bed in this room, easily rolled out to accommodate an additional adult or child.
Small sunny enclosed garden, with barbecue, pergola and decked area with table and seating; perfect for relaxing on summer evenings after a day at the beach or strolling the Dorset hills.
