The open-plan interior is bright and spacious with high vaulted ceilings and patio doors leading out to the wooden terrace that wraps around the lodge. The kitchen is well-equipped for cooking meals, perhaps using some of the amazing local produce Dorset is known for. When it comes to relaxing, the seating area has two sofas, a Smart TV, and electric coal-effect fire to give a cosy feel on cooler evenings.
Located all on the ground-floor, the lodge has two bedrooms; a double with ensuite shower room, and a twin bedroom that looks out to the garden at the rear. The family bathroom has a bath with shower over giving guests the option of a relaxing soak or a refreshing shower after a day at the beach.
Outside, the lodge sits within its own grounds with a gravel driveway for parking, a rear garden that is mainly lawn and backing on to fields. A large terrace wraps around the front and sides of the lodge making for an ideal space to sit and relax with a book or savouring mealtimes alfresco whilst enjoying the most tranquil of settings.

About the location
EYPE
Bridport 1.8 miles; Lyme Regis 9.6 miles; Seaton 18.4 miles.
Eype sits on one of the most dramatic sections of the Jurassic Coastline, and famously features one of ITV’s series Broadchurch’s most iconic locations. We’ll leave you guessing as to which one until you visit. The beach at Eype is a steeply shelving pebble beach that is dog-friendly all year round and just a couple of miles from Bridport and West Bay, where many other Broadchurch locations can be viewed, as well enjoying local fish and chips on the harbour side and ice creams on the seafront. You'll also find a SPAR supermarket selling essentials, as well as a selection of pubs and restaurants in the village, including The New Inn, the Admiral's Restaurant and Bar, and Martin's Bar and Restaurant. Bridport offers all the high street amenities you will need along with a much-coveted antiques and collectables market. Golden Cap, the highest point in Dorset, sits on the South West Coast path and is just 4 miles from Eype, although it’s the highest point there are moderate routes to walk to the top, where spectacular far reaching views along the coast will be your reward.
