Cottage vacation rentals in Isle of Portland

We didn’t want to leave! It was home from home and we couldn’t have wished for a more wonderful location. The kids absolutely loved the outdoor space - on the trampoline, chatting to the sheep and watching the stream bubble past. The fenced and gated areas meant we didn’t have to worry about our littlest one following the bigger two kids, too. The place and outdoors was so well thought out for families with a dog and / or kids. The kitchen was well supplied and the beds were ridiculously comfortable. We had everything we needed for a very happy stay. Marieanne was so kind and very responsive - thanks so much! Would highly recommend.

Wonderful stay, we had 8 people and it was big enough for everyone to do as they pleased, the house is gorgeous and bed are very comfy and clean, hot tub was clean and warm the morning after we arrived (as expected), looks exactly like the pictures and Blake was very responsive and professional

A beautiful cottage, bath with a view and lovely hot tub in private garden. Provides everything you need for a relaxing weekend away. Beautiful location, so peaceful. The barn with pool table and gym was a great addition. Responsive host too, a really lovely welcome when we arrived.

We had a great stay here. Lovely lodge and beautiful surroundings. Would definitely visit again and recommend to others.

We had a lovely stay in the cottage. It was clean, cosy and the welcome goodies were a lovely touch and much appreciated. The hot tub was a perfect for relaxing in the evenings, and under cover (we got lucky with beautiful weather but this would’ve been great even if it rained!). Our dog enjoyed the secure garden and we appreciated knowing he could roam the garden safely. The cottage is in a great location, just a short drive from the sea, and Ruth provided great recommendations for local places to eat and visit. We went to the Sculpture Park by the lake which was beautiful! We’d love to stay again.

The hosts were helpful from the moment we booked our stay. We were given clear instructions on where to arrive and were greeted as soon as we pulled into the carpark. They explained all the necessary information and answered all of our questions and were very helpful. They were always available if we had any queries and gave plenty of local recommendations for food and activities. We would 100% recommend and would be more than happy to book again.

A friend and I took our 2 twelve year old girls for an end of the holidays treat and were not disappointed. We had a fabulous time. Paul and Sandra went out of their way to make us feel at home and answer all our queries. This is a beautiful spot. The accommodation is very comfortable and the setting very peaceful, although with very easy access to the coast/other activities. We spent 2 days relaxing by the pool and in the hot tub. Having a kitchen next to the pool is a great idea, meaning its so easy to prepare food and drinks without having to go back to the house. We didn't make use of the party room, but I could imagine it would be fantastic for a family/friends gathering. The girls loved the dogs and horses, and Paul and Sandra made them both feel at home. They both cherished the horseshoes that Sandra gave them before we left (thankyou!). There was only 4 of us on this visit, but I could imagine this would would be a fantastic place for a celebration get together. We'll be back!

The Hideaway was perfect - away from the madding crowd but within easy reach of places of interest, tens and restaurants. And the cattle and Basil the horse made our stay complete in the rolling Dorset countryside. Thank you Amy for having us to stay and for bring a great host.

The cottage was the perfect base from which to explore the local beaches/amenities. We were in perfect, secluded (quiet) countryside with wonderful walking on our doorstep, but still only minutes by car to explore local beach towns. The cottage has a very relaxed and welcoming feel.

This was an ideal place to stay for us and our two dogs. It was peaceful, yet near to lots of lovely areas to explore. We didn’t make it to the local pub as we enjoyed having a couple of sundowners and taking in the lovely countryside. The cottage was well equipped and as described. We’d absolutely come back - it ticked all of the boxes.

Lovely place to stay, brilliant location and exactly as described. Charlotte was great at communicating before our stay and we found the place very easily!

We had a nice relaxing break. It was a lovely cottage with beautiful surroundings. Sally was available for us when we needed anything. The directions she gave made it very easy to find. Wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

Julie's place was a fantastic place to stay during our time in Portland. The place was spotless, smelt nice and had all the amenities and items you might need for your stay. Locally, the walks are absolutely breathtaking! Some of the best views I have seen anywhere! There are a few food shops and takeaways locally, all fairly priced and good food. We will definitely return!

Cosy cottage. Walking distance to the beach. Lovely welcome pack with even a treat for the fur baby. This was our 3rd visit and we’ll be back!

Rowan Barn is just as described in the listing, if not better. The house is very comfortable and in a great location, with a small private garden with views over the coastal hills and golden cap and a larger communal space for the use of guests at the other properties. It was lovely to be able to walk from the house with many paths to choose from and a reliable and frequent buses at the end of the lane. An easy walk to seatown and the anchor pub. We enjoyed ourselves so much we have already booked a return visit

We had a wonderful stay with Clive and his family, he was kind enough to let us feed his new born lambs. The Accomodation was very well stocked for everything we could need and was exceptionally well stocked for a baby

What an absolutely outstanding place Dennis has here. Absolutely beautiful , very comfortable, the bedrooms are big and airy but cosy at the same time. spotless rooms, bathrooms and kitchen . lovely bright white clean linen . A very charming Fireplace with a gorgeous log burner and big comfortable sofas . The Gardens were lovely although admittedly at this time of year wasn't showing it's best , but still the wow factor. Lots of walks nearby . There is a village shop that caters for most things but if you want a little more Crewkern is only 3 miles away with Lidl, Waitrose etc. Set in the most picturesque Village , Dennis's Cottage will not disappoint . We hope to return at some point.

This was a perfect place to stay for our family of four. Our daughters especially enjoyed the swimming pool. The cottage was clean, with beautiful surroundings and had everything we needed. It was also really lovely to be able to book my Dad into the ‘Little Stable’, which is a smaller, 2 person dwelling available to book. Fiona is a fantastic host and responded quickly to any queries. We would definitely recommend this to our family and friends.

Little Glebe was so perfect for my friends and I - two couples - as a place to stay in Dorset. The cottage itself was amazing: bright, airy, beautiful design, great views, functional kitchen, and two comfortable bedrooms each with an ensuite bathroom. The location was also really ideal - about a 17 minute walk to the local farm grocery store where bought all of our food to cook, and 10 minute drive to Durdle door and other great coastal walks. Sue was a wonderful host, and very warm and lovely. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Really lovely place to stay. Very friendly and welcoming. Well setup in cabin and good selection of dvds for wet weather. 4G was fine for us.

Lucy is a brilliant host, very responsive and friendly too. The cottage is in a great location and it's easy to get to the local shops and restaurants. Parking is easy and the cottage has everything you need and more. It's a lovely place to stay.

Lovely cosy cottage that everything we needed for a few days on the Isle of Purbeck. big enough for two adults and teenage sons. recommend the tea room and a great host.

We loved staying at the cottage. It was perfect for our group - grandparents, parents and two little ones - with plenty of space. Open plan living accommodation leading out to decking/small enclosed garden worked really well and we appreciated the spacious hallway with plenty of room to store bags not needed in the bedrooms. In all, it was a bit of a tardis - we never have expected it to be so spacious and airy! We'd definitely recommend staying here.

We had a fantastic last minute stay Holly Cottage, as a couple with our young baby and dog. The cottage was very spacious, yet very homely, and was well equipped with everything you could need (even for the baby with a cot and high chair etc) Comfy beds, cosy lounge with smart tv, and a kitchen with everything you could imagine you would need! The garden is beautiful and private, with a bbq and sofas, and totally secure for a dog, one of the very few air bnb’s we have stayed at where we have had full peace of mind the dog can explore with no concern. The location is fantastic for exploring Dorset and we also visited The New Forest less than an hour away. There is a Tesco behind the house and we had a good weekday meal at the local pub. Hosts very responsive and helpful. Highly recommended.
