Inside, the reception hall leads into the sophisticated drawing room with its opulent chandelier and generous windows that both let in the light and look out on the views. The drawing room, with its large bay windows looking out on the sea, can accommodate ten diners in the luxurious surroundings but if you want space for more, we can provide dining for up to 60 guests, or 100 guests in the summer months in the Orangery, perfect for an exclusive wedding.
The library has sofa seating for eight and, with great views and light streaming in through the windows, it is an ideal environment to while away an hour or two in cosy chat, or simply reading your favourite author. For an intimate meal you can choose to dine in the conservatory with its large double doors providing perfect sea views. The study has luxury seating for five and a large Smart TV. There is also a magnificent indoor swimming pool (closed in the Summer months, between May and early August - see FAQs below) and Orangery.
Upstairs, there are nine fantastic en-suite bedrooms over two floors. Each room is as carefully finished and as individual as the last. With views over the beautiful gardens and out to the sea, the house is a haven of tranquillity. The combination of fresh sea air, plush Egyptian cotton bed linen and superb mattresses mean you’re likely to enjoy one of the best night’s sleep of your life!
Whether it's a one-off special celebratory meal, or breakfast, lunch and dinner during your entire stay, we can recommend a highly trained chef to come to cook and serve from your kitchen at Wyatt Castle. A wonderful way to make your experience extra special.
We’ve tried to think about everything to make your stay at Wyatt Castle just perfect. In all of our castles to rent, we provide all the essential features to cater for a large group. Here’s a list of all the practical provisions we have at the house. If there’s anything you can’t see here but need, just ask as we’ll see what we can do.
Portland is famous for its stone, used to build Buckingham Palace and St Paul’s Cathedral, and that’s just for starters! The Tout Quarry is open to the public and is well worth a visit. In comparison with the gentle hills that cover the rest of the county of Dorset, Portland Bill is craggy and wild, and quite magnificent. Visit the lighthouse (if you don’t mind steep steps) to experience the magnificent views along the famous Jurassic Coast, or take a walk on one of the many paths in the area that allow you to really appreciate the scenery and take in the sea air. A visit to the world famous Chesil Beach is a must, of course, and we recommend a visit to the Swannery. For the more active, there are all sorts of water sports: from diving to windsailing and sea angling to kite surfing. We can arrange boat hire for you if sailing is your thing. Or you can always stay dry and hire a bike!
And after that, you can swim in the pool (typically available from August to May), relax by the fire, or we can arrange for your own spa treatment in the luxury of the castle itself.
Set on the Isle of Portland in Dorset, connected to the mainland by the breathtaking sweep of Chesil Beach. As a major feature of the Jurassic Coast, Portland is well known for its fascinating landforms and spectacular sea views.
