Neptune Cottage

Dating back some 200 years, Neptune Cottage is just yards from the famous Chesil Beach. Once a terraced fisherman's cottage, Neptune Cottage has been sympathetically refurbished keeping its old world charm whilst being modern and up to date in the areas that matter.

The position could not be any better. Neptune cottage is literally seconds away from the dog friendly Chesil Beach and the cottage will also accommodate your dog. In fact, a dog basket and bowls are provided. Sunsets over Chesil Beach can be viewed at your leisure or try your hand at fishing from one of the best spots on Portland at Chesil Cove.

The lounge has old world charm and has a woodburning stove as well as a flat screen television and DVD player. The kitchen diner can easily accommodate 5 if you decide to eat in and the kitchen has all the appliances you need including the holiday essential, a dishwasher. From the utility area you can access the courtyard garden with patio furniture. On the ground floor there is also a shower room including a basin and toilet.

Up to the first floor you will find a double and single bedroom. The family bathroom has a bath with shower over, hand basin and toilet. Up a final set of stairs is the twin room with lower ceilings to the side.

On road parking is available and a free car park is opposite the cottage.

Chiswell

Chiswell was once the biggest settlement on Portland but with its close proximity to the sea, the hurricane of 1824 changed that. These days the sea defences protect Chiswell which is good as it is full of charm. Chesil Beach is right on your door step, so walks or any activity to do with the sea is very close to hand. The Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Centre is also a short walk away. Look out for the beautiful walled community garden near Great Ope, a great place to stop for a very tranquil 5 or 10 minutes.

Facilities

There are a few shops in Chiswell including an excelent fish shop selling freshly caught local fish. For going out for a drink or something to eat and you are in for a treat. The 18th century Cove House Inn sits just alongside Chesil Beach. Further round Chesil Cove sits Quiddles Cafe. The BlueFish Cafe and restaurant specialises in fish dishes and there is also an Indian restaurant/takeaway if you fancy something a little more exotic.
