Our Story

Affectionately named after Tompot Blennies, which are endearing small fish found in Chesil Cove, Tompot Cottage is a charming, cosy, Grade II listed, Portland stone holiday home in Chiswell, at the northern end of the Isle of Portland. It dates from around 1650 and has a wealth of character features whilst providing comfortable accommodation for 7 persons. Ideally located for water sports, the cottage is just across the road from Chesil Cove and it is a level walk to Portland Harbour and the WPNSA (National Sailing Academy). There is a suntrap front garden. On the ground floor is the living and dining area, with LCD TV/DVD and a well equipped kitchen to the rear. On the first floor is a King bedroom and a large bathroom with separate bath and shower cubicle and on the top floor is a double bedroom and a bedroom which sleeps 3 in bunk beds and a single. Fully controllable, electric heating is included in the price and there is a living flame gas fire in the lounge. Domestic hot water is supplied by a timed, immersion heater whilst the shower has its own on demand supply at all times. Bed linen is included in the price. Parking is on-street outside the cottage and in the surrounding area. There is also a small free car park opposite the cottage and 'Pay and Display' car parks within 5 to 10 minutes walk. Please note that smoking is not allowed in the cottage. Tompot Cottage was built 350 years ago and is a traditional Portland stone building with steep stairs.
