Chandlers Nook

Chandlers Nook is a ground-floor, split-level apartment in Portland with a studio-style layout, and it sleeps two. The living space has a kitchen with a wooden breakfast bar, a dining area and a carpeted sitting area with a corner sofa and TV. Views run across Portland Harbour. Weymouth is 6.3 miles away, Dorchester 14.3 miles and Bournemouth 43.5 miles.

The bed is a double on a carpeted mezzanine, reached by a wooden staircase, so anyone who struggles with stairs should weigh that up. The en-suite shower room has a walk-in shower, basin and WC. In the kitchen you will find an oven, hob, fridge/freezer, microwave, kettle and toaster, and a TV is in the sitting area.

Fuel and power, bed linen and towels are included in the booking. Roadside parking is available nearby. The shop, pub and harbour are all 0.1 miles away, and Portland Castle, a Tudor fortress from the 1540s, is among the sights nearby, along with Portland Bill Lighthouse and Chesil Beach. No pets and no smoking are allowed, and a good-housekeeping bond is payable.

The apartment suits a couple who want a harbour-side base and are happy to walk to shops and pubs rather than drive.
