Dorset Castle, located on the picturesque Isle of Portland in the South West of England, offers a luxurious holiday experience with stunning sea views over Church Ope Cove and the renowned Jurassic coastline, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This neo-Gothic castle serves as a unique holiday home, accommodating up to twenty guests across nine elegantly designed bedrooms, each equipped with en-suite facilities. The castle's spacious ground floor features a drawing room and library that provide a perfect setting for social gatherings, along with a cozy study, a formal dining room, and a fully-equipped kitchen, making it ideal for preparing delightful meals.
The accommodation arrangement includes two bedrooms on the mezzanine-style floor—one super-king and one twin—both with en-suites. The first floor houses the remaining seven bedrooms, including a master suite situated in the castle's turret, offering breathtaking sea views, an emperor bed, and a luxurious freestanding bath. Additionally, five other king or super-king rooms and a versatile family room that can be configured with multiple bed options cater to various guest needs, ensuring comfort and convenience throughout the stay.
One of the standout features of Dorset Castle is its orangery, which allows guests to enjoy an indoor heated pool during selected months, all while taking in the spectacular sea vistas. The tranquil gardens surrounding the castle provide an inviting space for leisurely strolls or picnics, offering a serene retreat after days filled with exploration. Guests can relish al fresco dining on the terrace, making it an ideal spot to unwind and savor the beauty of the area.
The Isle of Portland, the southernmost point of the Jurassic coast, is rich in attractions. Visitors can explore historical sites such as the 16th-century Portland Castle, Rufus Castle, and Portland Bill Lighthouse, or simply relax on the sandy shores of Church Ope Cove. The nearby seaside town of Weymouth, just a 20-minute drive away, is a family favorite, boasting golden beaches and various attractions. For those willing to venture further, the charming market town of Lyme Regis is an hour away, while the dramatic cliffs of West Bay, known from the ITV series Broadchurch, are just 50 minutes from the castle, offering a wealth of activities and sights to enjoy during a stay at this remarkable property.
