The Old Rope House is situated in the picturesque village of Fortuneswell, on the Isle of Portland, Dorset.

Set over three floors this spacious listed house has three bedrooms. Filled with architectural features from the basement up to the top floor, it also features a second living area ideal for kids or entertaining in front of a large TV.

The space
Be mindful that as an old property, that the basement does have a very low ceiling and cannot be used to sleep in. The basement also has a bathroom with a shower. The house has rear access and a secure utility room which would be ideal for wets suits or even large enough for storing kayaks and bikes.

Please be aware that this part of Fortuneswell is on a main road which is one way system. Traffic noise can be heard from the front of the property.

The house is a two-minute walk from a free car park (up to 72 hours per visit). We also have a very regular bus service to and from Weymouth and attractions within walking distance. Shops and takeaways can also be found within walking distance. It really is in a great location and best of all you can walk to the beach. Just remember to bring your beach towel.

You are welcome to bring along a well behaved dog at a charge of £30 but we would like to point out that The Old Rope House does not have a garden so you will need to toilet your dog away from the house. Please keep your down downstairs and off the furniture.

Guest access
Two car parks are available which you can stay 72 hours per visit free of charge.
No parking is available on the street.

Other things to note
The basement has low ceilings.

The house is on the main road leading to the top of the island. You will experience traffic noise from the front of the house.

The house has no garden.
