    I thought the breakfast was first class. You could stay in hotels with over 3 x the room rate and not get such a great breakfast. Someone somewhere has gone to a lot of effort with this place: handwritten tags for all of the breakfast choices...

Company info

Our wonderful BnB is operated by b-side, an internationally recognised and locally loved arts organisation that both embodies and enriches its place of origin - the Isle of Portland in Dorset. This island is the beating heart that inspires b-side’s work, but our projects and opportunities extend all over Dorset and beyond. We work with and commission artists who are as excited by the bigger picture as the smallest detail. Underpinning our approach is the recognition of the need for sustainable tourism. We want everyone to be able to experience everything we love about Portland in a way that respects and benefits the island and those who live and work there. We produce the b-side festival bringing unique art to local audiences and visitors alike, sharing incredible stories about and with the Isle of Portland, as well as the rest of the world. b-side Festival: 11th - 14th Sept 2025 b-side is run by a collaborative team of artists, producers and curators with experience in visual arts, live art, performance, social practice, heritage, environment and arts education. We're channelling all of this spirit and enthusiasm into our exceptional BnB!
