Lampland House is a New England style white weather boarded property tucked down a track to the beach. Designed by the current owners with a relaxed coastal vibe, the spacious rooms, some with sea views, provide the perfect getaway for families and friends seeking a relaxing and memorable holiday. From the moment you pull up onto the sweeping driveway, planted with box “beach ball” topiary you know you are somewhere special. Lampland House is nestled into beautiful landscaped grounds with a mature garden wrapping round the property, and parking for up to four cars. Note: This property can only accept a Friday arrival.

Wakeham is a small hamlet situated in a conservation area on the eastern side of the rugged ‘Isle’ of Portland above the beach at Church Ope Cove. The wide road running through the centre was constructed to accommodate the transport of Portland Stone by horse drawn carts from the numerous local quarries. You can learn all about the stone quarrying at a fascinating exhibition within the local Portland Museum, and then explore the nearby coastal path, a steep walk down to the cove, passing the ruins of the Grade I listed Rufus Castle and St Andrew’s Church along the way. Sheltered Church Ope Cove offers a popular base for diving as there are numerous wrecks to discover off the shore, whilst there are also plenty of opportunities locally for fishing, climbing, sailing and bird watching. Alternatively take the drive down to the very tip at Portland Bill, which juts out into the channel and watch the boats brave their way through the rough waves. Whilst the nearby family friendly, seaside resort of Weymouth offers visitors plenty of family friendly attractions. A most attractive and unique holiday destination at any time of the year.
