Excellent location

5 / 5 Excellent

Had a lovely week here at stones throw. House is very well equipped and very clean. It’s local to supermarket, pubs and restaurants, the bus stop is around the corner and runs frequently. Fantastic walks and loads of places to explore on the doorstep. Will be recommending to our friends and family.

Luxury 2 Bedroom House , Olympic Village, Portland

Underwhelmed

3 / 5 Okay

The property is looking tired inside , top edge of fridge unit hanging off, kick board under cupboards split , cooker markings gone when I phoned owner I was told “ just fiddle with it , it does work”. Fridge and freezer both had left overs from previous renter ( not ideal in current situation) store cupboard was the same and most of it being spices that had gone solid. Dirty plates in cupboard and an unusable baking tray in lower cupboard , broken tin opener. Downstairs toilet had flaking paint and no plug for sink. Both bedrooms comfortable although in master bedroom duvet hangs out as duvet cover doesn’t fit and there where NO tv’s in either of the bedrooms as advertised. Bathroom was nice could only charge toothbrush if left the light on over cabinet as it didn’t work otherwise . Outside space was nice , bbq hadn’t been cleaned and the rack for it was rusty . The property is in a good location for walks and amenities . If there was 6 people staying in the property to open sofa bed would require moving 2nd sofa and possibly unit with tv on , in my opinion it comfortably sleeps 4.

The B & B was excellent, comfortable and clean and situated in an ideal place. The best part though, is the impeccable service. Hosts Mark and Jo couldn't do enough for me,but they were not "in my face" so to speak. I recommend this place highly and will definitely stay again.
