"The cottage is in a fabulous location, parking can be an issue but it has never effected us."
The cottage has everything you could need and more. Watching the sunsets from the bench out the front is a little piece of heaven! We love visiting the Lobster Pot at the Bill and walking around the Sculpture Park. I even managed to go swimming in the sea. Its Just a Fantastic cottage in an excellent location.

"Parking outside or near to the property was a major problem."
The town was busy and it required a lot of driving round. You also have to take your account numbers for the tv and the dvd didn’t work. But a lovely cottage and beach
Dear Jan, Thank you for your review, and your positive comments in our guest book. We are really sorry that you struggled with parking, but Albert Villas was built well before current traffic levels. As stated on the website, free parking is usually available nearby or within a five minute walk from our cottage. To clarify our smart TV does not require a passcode but does allow guests to use their own streaming services. Andy and Sue Property Owner

"For the second year running, we immediately booked up for next year while still in the cottage."
Lovely cottage, lots to do, places to eat and the view from the cottage is amazing. Just perfect to relax, unwind and feel good. Miss it already! Portland is a wonderful island. We are not at all surprised about how the residents love it. It is a precious place.

"A super holiday cottage with stunning views."
I have been renting holiday cottages from Dream Cottages for about 25 years and Langham Cottage is up there with the best. The only down side is the car parking , but all in all very good. Many thanks Graham.

"We had a great week at Langham Cottage."
Lovely house, very comfortable and a great location. Nice sea views from the sitting room, front bedroom and attic room. Parking is limited outside the property but we found spaces available within a short walk.
-
"A lovely well equipped cottage with fantastic sea views from every room at the front of the cottage the pictures do not do this cottage justice we did not expect to see the sea from the living room and bedroom!"
But my goodness the bedroom views not just from the top floor but also the middle bedroom are amazing!
-
"We absolutely loved this cottage."
It was in a great location. It was clean & tidy when we arrived and very well equipped. It felt so homely and we felt so comfortable there. Would definitely recommend this to others and if we plan to go to Weymouth again in the future would book this again.
-
"Lovely cottage fab location, views from rooftop windows breathtaking."
Lovely welcome gifts. Lots of extras made it home from home. Parking was tight and was entertaining watching people turn round, we were lucky we managed to get parked outside for the whole of our stay. Cove house inn lovely location for watching sunset, had 3 lovely meals their staff very friendly. Only downside felt Dream Cottages very unhelpful when wanted to change booking, booked with other companies previously and never had an issue!!

"Lovely cottage."
Family of four plus our four legged friend loved our week at Langham Cottage. Cottage had everything we needed and was in a great location on Portland.
-
"The cottage is lovely, clean , well equipped and spacious."
Great views from the top room.The only issue was the parking, which we knew about before we booked but there was limited parking in the town as well.I would advise people to pre book restaurants as some were booked up for the whole week.Lots of lovely areas to visit and lots to see and do but we felt fortuneswell itself is a little run down with many shops closed .
-
"Superb location with everything we needed for a great stay."
-
"Really very happy with the lovely cottage."
What was really good was it was really well stocked with the little things needed like dishwasher tablets and bin liners. A small thing that made a big difference. Really clean and with stair gates and tthe use of a high chair and travel cot was particularly helpful for our small family. This made our stay a really enjoyable experience. Thankyou x

"Lovely cosy cottage."
Clean and tidy with everything you need. Home from home. Lovely to have a separate bath and shower. Would love to stay again one day.
-
"Langham cottage is well appointed and very comfortable."
The lovely view over Chesil beach from both the lounge and the main bedroom is a joy - and the sound of the waves crashing on the beach on a windy day is memorable. The cottage is well positioned for local shopping (Coop), a beach front cafe (Quiddles - highly recommended for breakfast) and the local on-the-beachfront Cove Inn (an excellent menu). Who could want for more?
-
"An absolute gem!"
Spotlessly clean, very well equipped, thoughtfully kitted out. A lovely comfortable, home from home cottage. Amazing sunsets! Would definately stay again on future Dorset visits. Just to highlight, although not an issue for us as we were lucky with a parking space for the duration, but as advised, parking is difficult especially for elderly or for very young. The neighbours were very polite, and helpful with alternative parking. Highly recommended
-
"Lovely cottage."
Amazing views. Great location. Definitely will be back.
-
"Only problem was the parking."
We drove down when we got there and then had a big problem turning round. Parked elsewhere rest of the week, not always getting into the car park because it was full.
Thank you for giving us a 100% score, for our cottage, we're sorry that you found it difficult to turn your car round in the cul de sac. Unfortunately, Albert Villas and the village of Fortuneswell were built well before modern cars were common and some of the roads are narrow. We don't usually have a problem with this, but are thankful for the spectacular views across the bay that our hillside location provides. Sue and Andy Property Owner

"We very much enjoyed our second holiday at Langham Cottage."
Good location in Fortuneswell with superb views over Chesil beach towards Lyme Regis. Very comfortable modern furnishings and beds with every comfort for a delightful stay. Excellent kitchen facilities. We look forward to another visit before too long. Richard & Lynne
-
"What a beautiful place, stunning views from the front windows."
Lovingly decorated and had everything you needed. Parking can be a bit tight and I managed to park to unload and for a few days but was also very easy to park opposite the church and walk up the alley. Would definitely recommend this property.
-
"Lovely property with everything needed for a comfortable stay."
Great location with beautiful view and easy access for walks and local shops.
-
"The house is an easy walk from the sea, and is quiet."
The view is superb. The owners are sensible people. The only problem is the car. If you visit in your four-track, you'll probably have to walk, but that is Portland and you don't need to carry much; the house has it all.
-
"This is a spacious and comfortable cottage with a lovely view of Chesil Beach and beyond."
We have stayed here several times and come away rested and relaxed.
-
"Home from home."
This is a regular trip in our calendar now. Love Portland and Langham Cottage is perfect with views over Chesil Beach.
-
"Lovely cottage in good condition with attention to little extras that made the stay very pleasant."
-
"Everything about the cottage was as we would have wished."
It was very clean (the bathroom and kitchen were sparkling!) and comfortable. Even though the weather was very chilly, we were snug and had everything we needed. It was perfectly situated for the sea view and glorious sunsets. We've stayed in many, many cottages over the years and this one was among the best.
-
"Our 4th stay."
Love it here. Always new things to explore. Can’t beat looking down Chesil Beach from front bedroom. A real home away from home.
-
"Parking could be an issue at times but apart from that no other problems and the welcoming pack was a nice touch would definitely recommend."
-
"Langham cottage is lovely and clean and of good proportion."
It has many features including a roll top bath. Plenty of space and fantastic views across Chesil beach. Parking can be tricky as explained in the particulars and sometimes requires tight manoeuvres but we always had a space to park. Only basic consumables are provided including toilet roll, washing up liquid and hand wash, plus basic tea/coffee sachets/uht milk, so you’ll need to provide everything else or get supplies in when you arrive. Overall a lovely quiet place which we thoroughly enjoyed our downtime. I didn’t want to leave!
-
"Lovely house that worked well for us whilst visiting Portland."
. Nice and local to the beach, shop and pub which were all within walking distance. Parking as mentioned before hand was not easy this was not a problem for us although we had a truck which we got down to unload and load up by the house we would never get park out side even when there was spaces available , as it was very busy the car parks recommended were always full so ended up having to park down but the big roundabout which for us was ok as don’t mind walking and had a trolley but for anyone looking for close parking would not suit. The view out the bedroom window is beautiful and lovely to wake up to. For our boys the joy of watching the military aircraft flying round and landing near which could be seen from the bedroom windows by was a high light of their holiday.
-
"Lovely lovely house and amazing location with a view never to be beaten."
Only issue we had was the parking exp late at night but nothing that can be done about that. Certainly won’t stop us considering a return visit. Loved it
-
"Beautiful cottage in a stunning location."
It was also very homely and had everything you could need.
-
"Fabulous cottage in a great location."
The standard of the cottage was great - so comfortable and with everything you need catered for. Ideal location so close to the beach and easy travelling distance of so many great places to visit. Parking is a bit of a challenge at the property but there are a number of parking options close by. A fabulous holiday - would highly recommend the property.
-
"Beautiful views and exploring was fab."
-
"Fantastic cottage, with fantastic views."
Clean, with all your home comforts. Thanks Sue and Andy for a lovely stay
-
"Very well equipped cottage."
Fabulous view over Chesil Beach. Very comfortable and warm. 5 minutes to the shingle beach ( 10 minutes back up the steps) Fabulous cottage, and we had a lovely time. The more mature amongst us might need to be aware the stairs in the property are quite steep.
-
"Our 3rd stay in this cosy cottage."
Always clean and welcoming. We had a great week weather wise. View from bedroom window is amazing. Could sit there all day and look down Chesil Beach! We will be back again.
-
"We were enormously impressed with the lovely cottage on Portland."
It was spacious, very comfortable and the views of chesil beach were spectacular! The beds, furnishings and all equipment are of a very good standard and we are delighted to recommend this cottage to others. Lynne & Richard
-
"Great little cottage in a super location, just a few minutes walk to Chesil Beach and local shops."
-
"We loved the cottage."
Everything we could possibly need was provided, and it was absolutely spotless when we arrived, far exceeding our expectations. The welcome bottle of Prosecco was a lovely touch too.
-
"Second visit to this charming cottage."
Everything there you need. Owners have done an zmaxing job in making it so homely and comfortable. Great views of Chesil Beach. So relaxing.
-
"A lovely cosy cottage ideal for a relaxing break with fabulous sea views."
A real home from home, lovingly furnished by the owners with everything you need. Couldn't have asked for anything more. Great location with a variety of walks. We managed to park outside the property and actually didn't use the car the whole time we were there. We will be back!
-
"Very nice cottage well equipped very comfortable and in a nice quiet area."
parking can be a bit of a pain.but you are not to far away if you can,t park outside and its worth it for the peace and quiet.
-

Home from home .myself and my children absolutely loved staying there .
-
"Fantastic little cottage, brilliant location for everything I."
E pub, shop and fish and chips. Clean, comfortable, fantastic views we will be definitely going back again.
-
"The property is a real home from home lots to see and do ."
My husband especially liked the D Day Museum in Castletown and Bovington Tank Museum . I myself loved Monkey World . The only downside to the property is the lack of parking space outside the house . It can be a bit of a nightmare trying to find a space in the car parks.
-
"Fabulous setting, lovely views over Chesil Beach, well equipped accommodation, ..."
Fabulous setting, lovely views over Chesil Beach, well equipped accommodation, clear details and useful information in cottage folder Made for an excellent holiday all round One slight quibble recommended Quiddles cafe was overpriced, one piece of fish without potatoes or veg/salad priced at £15, Cove House Inn much better
-
"The cottage was excellent, well looked after and in a lovely place."
The smaller group who look after them, Dream Cottages, and the owners, do a good job in providing good information and thinking about what visitors need. However, I am totally fed up with being bombarded with emails by Sykes, most of which are repetitive, have lots of information I don't want, and are trying to sell me something else. This has put me off using your agency again.

"Great cottage, lovely and peaceful."

"What a delight to see the sea as we woke up!"
Shame the weather was not too good, but we still walked around Portland in all weathers. The cottage is equipped with every comfort & we loved it! The parking was fine, & the neighbours very nice too! Everything was perfect & we would definitely book again! Stayed May 2018

"We really enjoyed our week in Dorset Langham cottage was welcoming, warm, tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean."
We had amazing views of the beach and convenient for exploring the area. Several good restaurants and pubs within walking distance . Thank you very much
-
"Fantastic holiday home with great views along Chesil beach and out to sea."
Lovingly renovated by owners, with well equipped kitchen and excellent family bathroom. We had a great week here in February half term, enjoying cosy nights in with the log burner on. The property is in a peaceful location, with good local amenities within easy walking distance including the fantastic Cove House Inn and Osprey Leisure Centre. Although parking outside of the property is not guaranteed there is plenty to be found within a short walking distance. There is lots to do on Portland itself. We particularly enjoyed the great view from the top of the hill by the Olympic Rings and climbing up Portland Bill lighthouse. Further afield we visited the Tank Museum at Bovington, Maiden Castle near Dorchester and hunted for fossils on Charmouth beach. We actually booked on to a guided fossil walk organised by the Charmouth Discovery centre which we can recommend. Langham Cottage would be a very good base for any one interested in water sports given it's proximity to Weymouth and Portland Sailing Academy where there are facilities for sailing, power boating, kayaking, stand-up-paddle boarding and windsurfing. Stayed February 2017

The property
Located on the Isle of Portland and just a few moments from the acclaimed Chesil Beach, is the traditional style terraces house Langham Cottage with magnificent views out to sea.
It is positioned close to the end of Albert Villas, which is a quiet cut-de-sac, located on a hill which is steep at its junction with the main road.
This charming cottage is perfect for couples or a small family looking for a seaside retreat, sleeping up to four guests.
Having a sunny kitchen with dining area to enjoy your breakfast with the sun peeking out the window.
The sitting room is perfect to enjoy a family dinner at home.Whilst relaxing you can enjoy sitting by the log burner on the ground floor or admire superb stunning views on the second-floor sofa with a glass of wine.
Heading out of the cottage, walk through the lanes down a slope to the beach, where you may choose to fish, beachcomb or just enjoy the fantastic scenery.
Visiting in the early evening is a must to try and catch the sunset, as they are often spectacular when viewed from Chesil Beach whilst enjoying the sound of the waves crashing to the shore.
Recommended by previous guests for dining are The Cove House Inn and Quiddles, which are nestled next to Chesil Beach.
A supermarket, pub and shops are only a short walk away.
The National Sailing Academy is around a 15-minute walk away, making Langham a perfect base for water sports enthusiasts.
Wanting to explore the Isle of Portland further, then take the South West Coastal Path which leads you all around the exterior of the island taking in the old quarries, rugged landscape and the famous Portland Bill Lighthouse. Welcoming guests with a long and sandy beach, traditional beach entertainments and a vibrant town centre with abundance of shops and restaurants to choose from is the nearby town of Weymouth, which is just a short bus or car journey away.
For those who want a truly memorable self-catering holiday, with fantastic, panoramic sea views and having a beach only moments away then Langham Cottage is the ideal place.
