I was born in Portland and the purpose of the visit was to see family so I am very familiar with the island but there are some beautiful places of interest in and around the island. Even if you do not wish to drive there is a very good public service and also trains

Portland was easy to get to on the bus (No 1) from the train station. There is a stop just over the road but not clearly marked, you can pick up the bus from the Kings Head Statue as well ( walk down to the seafront , turn right and it’s the last bus stop).
Portland was interesting with different scenery for our walk, which included Portland Bill and old quarries. Our visit was Monday / Tuesday evening and we had no car. I would suggest booking a restaurant/ pub if you want to eat on Portland. The Cove House Inn ( closed Monday ) and the Little Ship ( closed Tuesday) are good options. We took the bus to Weymouth Harbour ( get off at the Magistrates Court stop), there are lots of eating places and nice for a walk round.

unusual place with a mixture of terrain . The beach is quite something on a sunny day and well worth a visit along with the Portland Bill lighthouse where we were lucky enough to see a Seal . I would certainly recommend a visit which also has the benefit of Weymouth a 10-15 minute drive away. Local People we spoke to seemed genuinely funny and helpful.

Even though it has quite limited options of where to eat in the island, for climbers it is a lovely place to go. A lot of the beaches I know from there are pebbled one so bring suitable footwear so your feet do not hurt. This is the second time (always in Sep) I come to this part of Dorset, I discover something knew evert time.

We visited Portland to go on a Sailing trip on Moonfleet.
We visited Portland to go on a Sailing trip on Moonfleet. Great experience and a fun day.
Restaurants were limited in the area. Salt is near the harbour but card only and expensive. The Cove Inn is beautiful, gorgeous setting to watch the sunset.
A trip to Portland Bill is a must whilst visiting, stunning views.
There are places of interest in Castletown with the D-Day museum and Castle just around the corner.

Scenic with lovely coastal views.
Scenic with lovely coastal views. If you like cliffs and walking or visiting lighthouses, it's great. We didn't get on to Chesil beach - couldnt quite work it out.
The cafe we found was really expensive!!
The room was very clean and we had excellent view from the room. We could see the harbor and sea from 2 sides of the room. The room size was reasonably good size. The breakfast was very good and we all enjoyed. Number of parking was limited, so we had to park on the road just next to the Hotel. There was a paid parking on back of the hotel which was reasonable price and free from 6pm-8am. The location was very close to the Chesil Beach and Portland Castle.
Brackenbury House is a lovely, charming manor just at the upper edge of Castletown, roughly 10 minutes walk from the beach where all the restaurants are.
The owners are absolutely lovely and helped us with recommendations throughout our stay. Even if we barely met them in the house, they were available 24/7 and had the best possible tips for us.
We'd return anytime, to Brackenbury House and to the Isle of Portland, which is an absolute hidden gem.
Breakfast and evening meal were both excellent, dining room is light and spacious, there is also a cosy bar to relax in. All the staff are extremely friendly and make you feel relaxed. The bedrooms we had were spacious, clean and had a large shower room, adequate for our one night stay. The hotel is a few minutes from the cruise terminal and so was ideal for my sons embarkation on to the Queen Victoria. I would definitely book the Aqua Hotel again.
Pretty, quirky house. Loved having breakfast / sundowner beer on the decking. Excellent location - walking is quite steep but very near bus stops and easy to get to Weymouth, Portland Bill, Abbotsbury and surrounding area. Parking was fine - first couple of days was parked a bit further down the road but was able to move car to just outside property for final few days of holiday.
Great location as about 5 minute walk from the beach and you get some awesome views of the sunset from the main bedroom.
Really nice cottage with everything we needed for a long weekend and suitable for kids. Met the owner and he was very nice. Well looked after property and a great location for getting to see the rest of portland and surrounding areas. Would recommend
House was VERY CLEAN, spacious and very well equipped. Regarding the property and quality we wanted for nothing in that respect. View from the attic bedroom magnificent, bathroom & shower had lots of space and even an extra toilet room on the same floor was very handy. Kitchen modern & had everything you needed for a week or mores stay.
We had a really lovely time in Portland. The instructions to find the accommodation was excellent it was well tucked away, and very cosy . A great place to spend New Year’s Eve with the Family . If walking your thing the Dorset coast path is very near which we managed to walk a little and one very fit person ran around the island
We had a great time at Sally Hall. Spacious, comfortable and well equipped. Portland was really interesting. The highlights were Chesil beach and seeing the signets at Abbotsbury Swannery and the weather which was amazing. Check in was easy and communication was helpful and prompt.
A superb apartment. Everything I needed. An interesting converted ex MOD building with full view of the sea and Portland Bill. Dishwasher, Washing Machine. Coffee maker. Wide screen TV. Netflix. A home from home. The neighbours who live there all year round were really nice people.
Mark & Jo was very polite and made me feel very welcome. The hotel was lovely. Breakfast was nice. Would love to stay on my future visits. Best property I have ever stayed in Weymouth/Portland in all the 15 years that I have been going.
Breakfast was better than expected. I thought it was continental, but there were cooked options so a bonus! I got lucky with the parking nearby, however not sure parking is very easy in the area. The Co-op and chippy nearby was handy!
Property was great location to be able to explore Portland Bill. Mark and Jo were fantastic hosts - really welcoming and very helpful with recommendations.
Room was fresh and clean.
I would definitely stay again if I was in the area.
Location was perfect, beautiful garden, comfortable feel with plenty of flexible sleeping accommodation, generally well-equipped and practical kitchen with a lovely aspect. Easy access to wonderful locations in Portland.
Staff were friendly and helpful. Plenty parking spaces easy to find. Cooked breakfast was nice. We had both meals at the bistro which were excellent and made that part feel more like a 4-5 hotel.
