The Portland Roads Hotel

Those exploring the rugged beauty of Portland and the Jurassic Coast should take this on board: a stay at The Portland Roads Hotel is an essential Dorset experience. The hotel provides all the facilities you might need to make your trip a relaxed one; and, at the end of your stay, you won't have to fish too deep in your pockets to cover the bill. Comfort, style, gorgeous food and great entertainment - you'll find it in spades here. Aside from the well-appointed en-suite rooms, there's a well-stocked bar and a fantastic restaurant, serving delicious British fare. Everything, from the braised lamb shank to the vegetable lasagne, from the baked potatoes to the heavenly desserts, is hearty, wholesome and fresh. Perhaps start with baked goat's cheese salad, followed by blackened Cajun salmon with spinach and seasonal veg, or the hand-battered fish of the day. Whatever you choose, you'll be set for another day exploring this stunning part of the country.
