Spring Rose Cottage in Portland, Dorset, receives high praise for its welcoming atmosphere, well-equipped kitchen, and cosy, homely feel. Guests appreciate the property's proximity to the beach and local attractions, as well as the thoughtful touches provided by the host. While parking and cleanliness have been noted as occasional concerns, the overall experience is one of comfort and enjoyment, with many guests expressing a desire to return.
Most guests found the cottage to be clean and well-maintained, though there were a few mentions of specific areas needing attention, such as sticky kitchen worktops, a dirty oven, and outdoor areas. These appear to be isolated incidents rather than a general trend.
The location is generally praised for its proximity to the beach, local amenities, and scenic coastal walks. However, parking is frequently mentioned as a challenge, which slightly impacts the overall satisfaction with the location.
Guests describe the beds as comfy and the rooms as cosy and homely, contributing to a comfortable stay. Some guests found the sofas less comfortable, and there were comments about the property potentially being less suitable for very tall individuals or those with limited mobility.
The property is well-equipped, with a particularly well-stocked kitchen and thoughtful entertainment options. Some minor maintenance issues were noted, such as the need for window keys and the condition of the upstairs decking.
The host's thoughtfulness is frequently commended, with mentions of family passes and other gestures to enhance the guest experience. While such gestures are greatly appreciated, it is politely noted that these are not guaranteed for every stay.
Boasting far-reaching coastal views and set in the village centre of Fortuneswell is this charming property, Spring Rose Cottage. This terraced property enjoys three floors of nautical charm and is designed to offer a base for those in pursuit of a coastal break to the Isle of Portland. Step into the contemporary sitting room, where plush furnishings complement the traditional charm of the woodburning stove.

Joining the sitting area is the formal dining table, which is set up for eight people, offering a perfect spot for entertaining, tucking into a delicious takeaway or a home-cooked meal that was prepared within the kitchen. The kitchen enjoys a sleek design and comes with everything you could possibly need to prepare a picnic for the next day’s beach day or to rustle up delicious evening meal by making the most of the electric oven, gas hob, fridge and separate freezer. As the evening grows darker, make your way upstairs to the first floor, where you will find a family bedroom with a bunk bedroom and twin beds, perfect for children or groups of friends, whilst the second-floor plays host to two double bedrooms, which enjoy a refreshing décor with several nautical touches. Look forward to waking up every morning and admiring the coastal views before refreshing in the family bathroom, complete with a walk-in shower and a separate bath, allowing you to choose how best to prepare for you day. From here, open up the door to find the terrace garden, where table and chairs are situated for enjoying alfresco dining and steps down take you to a barbecue area, for rustling up tasty summer treats. For days out, be sure to head to Chiswell Beach, an 18-mile long shingle barrier beach stretching from West Bay to Portland, offering a superb walk and an opportunity to soak up the sun. Immerse yourself in the local history by visiting the 16th century castle with a heritage garden and tea rooms, offering spectacular sea views, or travel further afield to Weymouth, home to a museum, Sandsfoot Castle and the Nothe Fort. Other attractions within Weymouth, which will delight younger guests of the group, includes Sandworld, a unique gallery with huge sand sculptures, the SEA LIFE Centre and Greenhill Beach.

Perhaps a TV upstairs would be good for the kids. Beds were a bit too hard but thatâs the only thing weâd change. But, could be perfect for other visitors. Definitely recommend but only for those able bodied due to the hills etc. great place to stay in a beautiful location!

My grand children loved it. The accomodation was just great for a young family. The kitchen had everything we needed and was very well looked after.
