Very well equipped cottage, including some food provided for the first day, and beyond, and treats and towels for the dog. Very quiet location (maybe too quiet for some, but not for us), in what for us was the most beautiful part of the island (southern half).

Tucked away with stunning views westwards out to sea and Portland Bill. Tranquil, peaceful garden for guests use with benches, fire pit, swings and all dog friendly.
