Fantastically located on the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site and surrounded by Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this seaside home is perfect for lovers of the great outdoors and their dogs. Sleeping four across two bedrooms, find yourselves just a stone's throw from the dog friendly beach where you can relax or splash in the sea all day long.

 

Stepping inside this single-storey property, make yourselves at home as you choose your bedroom and unpack. Pop the kettle on in the kitchen and brew some tea to enjoy together whilst you make plans for your holiday. With all you need to feed four hungry mouths and those of your four-legged friends, the kitchen is a lovely space in which to spend time experimenting with flavours and family favourites. Bright, light and open plan, the lounge/dining room is perfect for plating up a delicious feast and is a great spot in which to unwind after beach days and time exploring. The pair of sofas invite you to sink down and switch off in front of the TV, or put on a DVD for a film night with plenty of treats, or just admire the sea glimpses through the French doors. Post-film, savour a tipple on the enclosed decking, where a BBQ and sun loungers are the perfect ingredients for a sundowner evening alfresco. Two tranquil, pretty bedrooms offer you some peace and quiet and are lovely rooms in which to rest your head for the night before you rise and shine and freshen up in the stylish bathroom. There is off-road parking for one car.

 

Sitting beneath the towering Golden Cap, the beach at Eype is a wonderful destination for all the family, welcoming dogs all year round and less than half a mile away. Enjoy a day on the beach and tuck into a tasty picnic or treat yourselves to dinner at the village pub or the tearooms. Just 7.5 miles from home, Stonebarrow Hill is a great starting point for a hike with the dog and leads to over 25 miles of well-trodden trails which wind their way around the National Trust’s, Golden Cap estate.

The sea view is as advertised just a glimpse over the top of parked cars. Only one other view, of the grass slope from the lounge. The rear of the property is a narrow strip of decking with an uncut hedge blocking any view. We were unfortunate to have poor weather and having two planned power cuts and boiler and kettle failures didnt make for a goRead moreod break. The 3/4 mile road to the property from the A35 is extremely narrow and full of pot holes. On the good side, a visit to the estate and West Bay are worthwhile, sadly Bridport, as told to us by a local is dead, a ghost town.. Hide

A good location for exploring the area and very close to Eype beach (2 minutes walk). Its a comfortable, nicely furnished chalet. We were there in February and so it was very quiet, which suited us, but I imagine its a different vibe in June/July/August. We would visit again but only out of season. From the main road theres approximately two miles Read moreof narrow single track road to navigate. Hide

We had a lovely holiday at Beach Retreat. Navigating the narrow access road can be a bit nerve-wracking but the chalet is beautiful and very well equipped to a high standard. We enjoyed barbeques on the patio, walks over the clifftop to West Bay and had two superb meals at the Seagull Restaurant.

We booked a short 4 night break in January, and it was important to be warm and the cottage was well insulted and warm thankfully it was as we had a really cold snap with so,me snow! The location is perfect, a very short walk to the pebbly beach and coastal path. The cottage is very well equipped with everything you might need and we really relaxedRead more and enjoyed our time there. The dogs had a wonderful time too. Hide
