Lighthouse View, Portland

Dorset. Sleeps up to 2

Positioned on the Isle of Portland in Dorset is this delightful, second-floor apartment, Lighthouse View. Enjoying splendid sea views, overlooking Portland Bill, above the Atlantic Academy overlooking their playground, this compact, studio-style apartment is an ideal base for a couple looking for a getaway with lots of coastal trails to explore. Park up in the allocated parking space before boarding the lift to the second floor and discovering the open-plan living space, with bright walls and a large window to soak in the views. Rustle up tasty meals in the compact kitchen area, courtesy of the combi microwave/oven, and dine together at the breakfast bar with a glass of wine in hand. Relax and unwind on the plush sofa, which converts into a single bed for flexible sleeping, and flick through the TV for a film night in. After a day exploring the rugged coastline, rinse off in the shower room before climbing into your pyjamas ready for bed. When sleep calls, a double bed awaits, with lights above for some night-time reading, or let the TV do the entertaining for you. Explore your fantastic location, with a walk along the coast at Portland Bill, home to a working lighthouse, enjoy pony-trekking on an open-field or pack a picnic for a visit to Easton Gardens. If you fancy a break from cooking, a stylish restaurant rests just a short stroll away, where you can savour spectacular sea views over a home-cooked meal, and afterwards, unwind on Little Beach or explore the 16th century Portland Castle. For a Blue Flag beach and bustling attractions, venture to the seaside town of Weymouth, hosting thrilling rides at Fantasy Island, SEA LIFE to get up close to marine creatures and the Tudor House Museum for a trip back in time. History buffs may wish to visit the county town of Dorchester, for five museums, including the unique Tutankhamun Exhibition, or if that’s not your taste, the Jurassic coastline and wonderful countryside is within easy reach, ideal for the adventures at heart. For a coastal getaway, whisk your other half to Lighthouse View.
