Portland may only be 4 miles long by 2 miles wide but it packs in the attractions and activities like nowhere else in Dorset. Portland has a great mix of sports activities to experience. The windsurfing, sailing and kitesurfing are world-class but also good for beginners. The diving is excellent with many wrecks to explore and there are over 1,000 routes for climbers. There is a rich history to explore from D-Day to a Mesolithic site dating back 8,000 years. For ornithologists, Portland lies on a migration route and has many rare visitors. Walkers will enjoy the many routes almost always accompanied by stunning sea views. There is even a sculpture park with pieces from leading artists and local talent.

There is a good mix of holiday cottages on Portland. We have quaint fisherman’s cottages made from Portland stone. Or new apartments with views over Portland Harbour. With 35 cottages, we have one of the biggest choices of Portland self-catering accommodation.
