very welcoming, lovely property with a spacious room and bathroom and use of the downstairs lounge area. The room was bright and airy and nicely decorated- it was very comfortable for the 2 of us. Great location as very central and easy to get to around.

Only issue was with TV connection as this cut out around 9ish on one of the nights but was back up and running as normal within the hour:)

Sea views, free fast Wi-Fi and free private off-road parking. There were books and games to dip into and good pubs such as The Cove House Inn and The George Inn nearby for dinner. Thanks to Vienna & Joe we had a wonderful stay. There are beautiful bedrooms, cosy sitting rooms, and wonderful views - a stunning coastal home for a quiet weekend for two, or perfect for a big gathering of family and friends

There were no real problems at all. All good.

Very welcoming and no fuss clear guidelines for use of the spacious, bright & clean room with sea views. Great ensuite facilities and generous spa quality shower gels and handcream, beautiful fluffy towels much appreciated, etc. Hosts sent really useful information via text about local café, restaurants. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay, many thanks to the hosts.

Busy road and scramble (but free and very close) parking. Staircase carpets could use a cleaning.

Lovely big manor house. Clean and comfortable. Bedroom had five windows! Hosts openly friendly and helpful. Airy and fresh with good facilities and a lovely outside patio nook.

We loved everything about this beautiful period home and would highly recommend staying here.

Lovely warm welcome from the helpful hosts who helped us park and carried our bags. Grateful for the free, off road parking space during our stay. Easy to find, on the main road, very close to two free carparks and the bus stops. Beautiful guest sitting room with excellent facilities including retro record player with plenty of vinyl, super fast wifi and smart plus good old-fashioned games. Very good value for the area. Plenty of places to eat out within a short walk of this house which is centrally located on the isle for all the main sights and attractions.

Poor quality toilet seat in room. Stood out as rest of fittings high spec. Also no fittings in shower to put soap/shampoo on.

Lovely warm greeting. High room spec and very comfy bed. House had very attractive decor and was very well presented.

Rooms at the front of the property are subject to traffic noise which is only an issue if you need to have the windows open.

Excellent hosts and property having exactly what we were looking for. Great location for exploring Portland and Chisel beach. On our second day we drove to Durdle Door which tool approximately 40mins.

Beautiful house. Very clean & comfortable. It is lovely to have a separate sitting room and communal fridge. Vienna was super lovely, showing us where everything is and giving us lots of leaflets for things to do in the area. She also emailed a list of nearby cafes & restaurants, which was very handy. We were also taken to the parking space. Luckily, no one else was parked there. Although there is parking nearby. My husband particularly liked the coffee machine, a nice touch for coffee drinkers. A yummy gift was left in the fridge for us. Thank you, Vienna & Joe, for a lovely stay.

Vienna and Joe have gone above and beyond to make sure our stay exceptional. I haven't stayed in a house before, always stayed in hotels but my experience was so great, I will be seeking this out. It was way better than a hotel. What I loved most was the homey feeling, a functioning nespresso machine in our room with locally made tea and biscuits, small toiletries, towels, hair dryer, even the cord extensions have USB ports and it was spotless clean, I'm usually very miticulous about cleanness. Some very thoughtful touches around the house and the room, if you like technology you will love the google assistant in every room, a record player for retro lovers, ice in the communcal fridge, water bottles to take to your room and a lovely outside seating area with a fresh lavender scent. Vienna is so lovely, she checked us in, gave us a tour, even gave us brochures about the island, dorset and things to do. I honestly absolutely loved my stay and did not want to leave. I highly recommend it and if I'm ever in the area again I will definitelty be staying there.

A very minor point but wet towels didn't really dry out during our 3 day stay.

A very warm welcome from the owner to a lovely clean and elegant home with good facilities and convenient location. A comfortable and well appointed bedroom with new en-suite bathroom.

Breakfast or a nearby breakfast-serving pub/cafe would have been great.

Brackenbury House is a lovely, charming manor just at the upper edge of Castletown, roughly 10 minutes walk from the beach where all the restaurants are. The owners are absolutely lovely and helped us with recommendations throughout our stay. Even if we barely met them in the house, they were available 24/7 and had the best possible tips for us. We'd return anytime, to Brackenbury House and to the Isle of Portland, which is an absolute hidden gem.

Loved the hosts. Really clear instructions and they were able to provide everything we needed. Really impressed with the service and the level of care.

Local parking - 2 small car parks are very close by (50 to 100m) but they were both crammed. But - there is easy parking on the hill road just further up and round to the back of Brackenbury House
