Our caravan is situated in its own private, gated garden with electric wall lights, overlooking the sea. To the rear is Pennsylvania castle, floodlit at night and over the wall below us to the side is their carp pool. If you are lucky, they will switch on their magnificent waterfall during your stay. We can look across at Rufus Castle (also floodlit in changing colours at night) and beyond and you can watch the fishing boats, yachts, the cross channel ferry and naval ships go out from Weymouth whilst eating your breakfast. At night, you can lie in bed and listen to the waves on pebbles on Church Ope Cove below.
Our well cared for caravan offers comfortable, clean accommodation. The lounge has an lcd television with built-in freeview, ( including radio channels) a dvd player, dvds, plenty of books to read and some board games. The kitchen has a gas cooker, a refrigerator, a brand new microwave (May 2012), toaster etc. and there is an iron and table top ironing board. The bathroom has a small bath under the shower, particularly suitable for young children. There is a double bedroom with a brand new mattress (May 2012), a twin bedroom where the beds can be put together to make a double (both a double and single duvets are supplied), and a pull out double bed in the lounge. There are a couple of portable electric heaters as well as the gas fire in the lounge. Gas cylinder replacements are included, electricity is by £1 coin meter.
The site is 5 star with a little shop for necessities and gifts, a laundry and a small games room and is known for its wonderful panoramic views and its peaceful situation. Open top buses to Portland Bill and Weymouth stop outside the site during the main months and a short stroll into the village of Easton provides more buses, shops of all kinds, take aways and restaurants.
If you are looking for peace, tranquility and beautiful views then you will appreciate our caravan and garden.
Please note: Our caravan is available for most of the weeks of the Olympic Sailing Events in Portland Harbour - please book early for these; we are a few minutes drive away from the events and there will be public transport to Portland Harbour and Weymouth over the road from the site entrance, so no parking problems!

Connnected to Dorset only by a road-bridge and the famous Chesil Beach, this 'Gibraltar of the Channel' first became a holiday venue with King George III and Queen Charlotte who made annual visits, "to delight in the different beauties of this romantic spot".
Stone from the Island has provided material for most of London's famous landmarks. Old quarries, beautifully reclaimed by nature, provide a maze of footpaths.
Explore by foot or horseback and discover the secrets of this rural paradise. Find a sculpture park, fossil trees, cave shelters, tunnels, rare flowers, rare birds and a myriad of butterflies - just a few of Portland's 'treasures'. Spectacular cliff walks give panoramic views of Dorset's Heritage Coastline.
A rich maritime history is revealed by a harbour guarded by twin Tudor Castles and the Verne Citadel. From the comfort of your holiday home you can watch fishing while boats and ferries ply their daily trade, or glimpse the sleek, grey shadows of naval ships on the horizon.
Cove Park, nestling in the former gardens of the Pennsylvania Castle, is situated in the lee of the island. This suntrap cove is ideal for safe bathing.
Come to the island of Portland, an idyllic, unspoilt rural haven, to recapture a style of life little changed from the last century.
All our caravans are located to get the best of the sea views. A footpath provides easy access through grassy slopes, rich in rare flowers, to the sun-trap Church Ope Cove. See the ruined Church with Smugglers graveyard. Adjacent Car Park and plenty of room for sunbathing.
