Summary
The accommodations were generally praised for cleanliness, comfort, and location. However, there were concerns about parking, accessibility, limited supplies, TV issues, and lack of clear information in the welcome pack. Some guests faced specific maintenance issues and noted challenges for older visitors.
The property
Positioned on the rugged and stunning Isle of Portland, Bowman's is a character, terraced Dorset holiday cottage located on the wide avenue which is Wakeham.
The owners have affectionately updated the interior decor in a modern style, whilst retaining the original and striking features of the cottage, including the exposed Portland stone walls, quarry tiled flooring and fireplaces (not in use) in the sitting room. The galley style kitchen, complete with separate dining room, is the perfect setting to prepare your meals. The two bedrooms and bathroom can be found upstairs via the Cottage style stairs.
Weymouth and Portland hosted the 2012 Olympic sailing events and still attracts many visitors looking for their ideal water sports holiday, including sailing, wind surfing and kite surfing. Other visitors love the bird watching, fishing, walking and climbing that is on the doorstep in Portland; walks can encompass the iconic 'Portland Bill' lighthouse and quarries.
The stunning 'Church Ope Cove' is just a short walk from the cottage, where you will find the Portland museum and a walkway leading directly to the secluded Cove. The walkway passes under an imposing stone arch and a little further along are the ruins of Rufus Castle with panoramic views along the Jurassic Coast. A few minutes down steep steps (150) takes you to Church Ope Cove. Nearby Easton has good amenities, including two supermarkets, cafes and independent local shops. A relatively short drive or bus journey away is the main resort of Weymouth, with its award winning long, beautiful, sandy beach, traditional entertainments and good shopping.
Providing an ideal base, this Portland Stone cottage, is perfectly located for exploring the Jurassic coast at any time of the year.
A beautiful stone cottage, complete with garden on the quieter end of Portland, however situated on the main bus route to Weymouth and beyond.
Two bedrooms: 1 x double and 1 x twin. Bathroom with bath, shower over, basin and WC. Kitchen. Dining room. Sitting Room. Outside WC. Garden with patio furniture and summer house.
Gas central heating. Gas oven and hob, fridge, washing machine, TV with in built DVD, CD, WiFi. telephone for incoming calls. Fuel and power inc. in rent. Bed linen and towels inc. in rent. Roadside parking outside of cottage. Paved patio with furniture and summer house. Sorry, no pets and no smoking
