My husband and I booked a last minute night away and chose Turnstones for this. We received a very warm welcome from Janet and Ian on the evening of our arrival. The house is located in a very pleasant location and is extremely quiet and peaceful. Our room was lovely with a beautiful iron bed, lovely bedding and pillows. Tea... More

The website was very clean cut and professional and the photos looked great (im easily sold if a photo looks good), so we... More

I first stayed at Turnstones when I came back to Portland for a school reunion. I have stayed there several times since then with various members of my family and it now feels like a second home . Janet and Ian remember and ask after my family and are interested in what is going on in my life so it... More

We passed Portland on our round-trip and had the luck to get a room at the Turnstones Bed & Breakfast. We had an incredible room with view of the sea and enjoyed our stay a 100%! We especially enjoyed the shower, which offered a generous jet of water - unlike most of the other B&Bs. Janet makes exquisite poached eggs... More

Stayed for a short break at the beginning of September and had to agree with the reviews we had read. Everything was really first class - the room, the breakfasts and of course Janet and Ian. They really do put a lot of effort into making you feel welcome and are always willing to give any help or suggestions to... More

We recently spent three nights in Turnstones and I am absolutely delighted. I have been in some B&B before and this is the best of all. Although we weren't in the famous top floor room, ours was equally brilliant, big enough for two people plus luggage (I was particularly impressed with the wardrobe!) and with a wonderful bathroom. Particularly impressed... More

Considerate and friendly, immaculate, comfortable and bright accommodation in a pleasant, spacious house, Delicious breakfasts with fruit and cereal as well as Full English. Unobtrusively hospitable hosts. Proof that the standard of British B&B is at an all time high. A thoroughly enjoyable stay. I can recommend Turnstones unreservedly.

We have just returned home after spending two nights at Turnstones B&B and wanted to share our experiences. Nothing appeared to be too much trouble for the owner Janet, to organise even booking our table at a local restaurant and texting me confirmation of timing of the booking. Our room at the back of the house on the first floor... More

We stayed for 3 nights (Fri, Sat & Sunday) as I had a course to attend at the nearby Harbour of Portland. We stayed in a room on the top floor which looked out straight onto the sea. Looking out to the right we could also see the famous Chesil Beach. Mrs Janet Hunter was waiting at the time we... More
