The Cove House Inn
Portland
The Cove House Inn is an 18th-century public house on the Isle of Portland, Dorset, England. It is situated within the village of Chiswell, and alongside Chesil Beach on the esplanade, with the most spectacular views Portland can offer.
We are a must on TripAdvisors places to visit in Portland.
We are a very busy little pub with a very small hard working kitchen, we serve fresh food that may take longer to prepare during our busy service so please bear with us. Booking is advised and essential at times. During our summer service we have a strict maximum of 6 people per booking.

Winter days are also memorable at The Cove House Inn, we usually have our open fire on and you can watch the stormy seas pound Chesil Beach.

The sticky toffee pudding was to die for."

"Our party of five were accommodated in the pub as we didn’t want to eat outside. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was really nice. The scallops were amazing and the crab linguine was also delicious. Book in advance as this place is deservedly very popular!"
