The Cove House Inn, Historic pub in Chiswell, England
The Cove House Inn stands alongside Chesil Beach on the esplanade, featuring stone walls, slate roofs, and large square dressed Portland stone blocks.
Dating back to the early 19th century, this Grade II listed building survived the Great Storm of 1824 despite its vulnerable position near the sea.
The pub contains vintage oak furniture and displays photographs of local shipwrecks, preserving the maritime heritage of Portland through its interior design.
During winter months, the pub protects its long windows with shutters and offers indoor seating where visitors can watch stormy seas from behind safety barriers.
Between 1958 and 1965, a dedicated sea wall was constructed to shield both the inn and Chiswell village from coastal erosion and severe weather conditions.
