  • Listen to the waves breaking on the beach, just a stone's throw to the dog-friendly beach and cliff walks
  • Stylish cabin in a fantastic coastal location, perfect for beach lovers and walkers
  • Direct access to the South West Coast Path, where you can head off on foot to West Bay and Seatown
  • Visit the vibrant market town of Bridport or idyllic Lyme Regis with boutique shops, galleries and eateries
Property code: OC-78031

The stylish cabin, with its enviable coastal location, is the ideal setting for a relaxed holiday by the sea with family or friends. The property sleeps four guests and two canine chums, who will absolutely love the fact it’s just a stone's throw to the fabulous dog-friendly Eype Beach. Wake up and head out for a blast of sea air and admire the magnificent views along the Jurassic Coast, before returning for a lazy al fresco breakfast. 

This single-storey property has an open-plan configuration, making it a fantastic space for socialising and creating ample dozing spots for the four-legged ones. The cabin is light and bright; curl up with a good book on one of the comfy sofas, admire the sea glimpses through the French doors, or enjoy an evening meal together whilst planning the next day’s adventures. However, in a setting as beautiful as this, you’ll want to be outside at every opportunity. Chill out on the sun lounger, whilst the hounds potter around in the enclosed decked area, or perhaps light the BBQ and enjoy an evening full of chat and laughter as the sun sets over the bay.

From Eype Beach, walk along the dramatic South West Coast Path to West Bay. The route takes you along the high white and golden cliffs and through the meadows bordering the river. When you arrive, why not treat yourself to an ice cream whilst pottering around the picture-perfect harbour? There are some great hound-friendly attractions within easy reach. Forde Abbey makes a lovely afternoon outing; the tail-waggers can join you for a stroll around the beautiful formal gardens, where you can admire the highest-powered fountain in England. Lyme Regis (10 miles) is also well worth a visit during your stay. The historic seaside resort is packed with dog-friendly eateries and Monmouth Beach is a real favourite for four-pawed visitors.

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
