Blackford House a large home Portland Dorset

Beautiful large house, spotlessly clean, very nice decor, thoughtful welcome pack, stunning views of Chesil beach from the back of the house. Comfy beds, games and books, extremely comfortable home to have a relaxing holiday. A few minutes walk down to Chesil beach, stunning for walks. The Cove pub a few mins walk away does very nice food. Portland has an amazing coastline, really enjoyed visiting Portland Bill. Easy access to the Jurassic coast. Regular buses to and from Weymouth if needed. Loads of great activities , Kayaking from Osprey Leisure Centre on Portland, High Ropes near Lyme Regis, swimming and paddle boarding at Bowleaze Cove in Weymouth were our highlights. Coastal path very near the house for coastal walks on Portland. Overall a beautiful holiday home in fab location.

The house is at the bottom of a steep hill and we often had to park a few streets away, not a problem for us but worth noting if you have mobility issues.

The decoration was lovely. It was very clean and very comfortable. It had all we needed and more! No corkscrew was.in accommodation but quickly provided when asked. (I have a feeling one is normally there). Comfortable beds, sofas too. Very well equipped home and kitchen. The complimentary bag of supplies was very thoughtful, and the teatowel/binbag/washing up supplies were a fab idea. View of sea and perfect view of sunset from back garden. Close to beach, shops and restaurants. Altogether, it was a fantastic stay for the whole family.

Parking was fun! Not always available in the street, but it stated that it was so not a surprise.

Ease of access

Door handles were a little loose.
