Olive Tree House is a three bedroom cottage situated on a very quiet lane in the centre of the historic village of Portesham. This holiday home sits opposite the Manor House and adjoins a delightful, thatched cottage. Part of Olive Tree Cottage dates back to 1642 as do lots of the surrounding houses. It was totally refurbished in 1994 and now provides modern living amenities. The buildings in the village are all higgledy piggledy with architectural examples from the 16th, 17th,18th and 19th centuries. The village has a spring and stream running down the main street and boasts ducks and geese in the spring pond and on the village green. Perfect for those who enjoy exploring as there are great walks from Portesham, many with fantastic views over Weymouth Bay, Portland, the Fleet, Lyme Bay and the Devon Coast all at the same time.

A lovely cottage in a beautiful tranquil village. Everything you could possibly need in a holiday home is provided, really enjoyed having the Alexas to ask questions about the weather and distance to locations. I found the people in the village very friendly. We only ate in the Kings Arms, but would advise exploring pubs further afield. Make sure yRead moreou come well stocked, as supermarkets are not on your doorstep. We really enjoyed our stay. Hide
