The Greenhouse, Eype

Our newly refurbished chalet is on the southernmost edge of an open field and has its parking and entrance at the rear of the property.

On entering the chalet you will have the twin and the king-size bedrooms on your right, both rooms are newly decorated and have new beds and furniture so you can unpack and make yourselves at home. The comfortable beds are made with professionally laundered, hotel-quality linen so you can be assured of a comfortable night's sleep!

To the left of the hallway is the modern bathroom with a large walk-in shower.

The hallway leads you to the bright and airy, open-plan, kitchen/dining/living area with a well-equipped kitchen, dining table with 4 chairs, and living area with two comfortable sofas and a Smart TV.

The glazed sliding doors across the southern end of the property really maximise the wonderful views of the sea from the living space. Through the sliding doors, there is a decked terrace with a picnic bench overlooking the sea, a great place for that morning coffee or a nightcap whilst watching the setting sun to the west, over Lyme Bay.

Guests will have the entire chalet to themselves.

I will not be around during your stay but you will have a direct line to me or my co-host and fast responses to messages.

Eype village is one of West Dorset's prettiest with its many 18th and 19th-century thatched cottages, country pub and winding single-track lane down to the beach.

Eype Beach is one of the lesser-known destinations on the Jurassic Coast and offers an unspoilt shingle beach and plenty of opportunity for fossil hunting. There is limited parking for the beach so you are sure to be able to enjoy your time here without having to jostle for position on the beach!

Whilst Eype is secluded and unspoilt it is only a couple of miles from the conveniences on offer in the market town of Bridport and its harbour at West Bay. To the west is Golden Cap (the highest point on the south coast) with Charmouth and Lyme Regis just beyond.

Supermarkets “Eype Eats” is a shop (just a few metres from the chalet) offering essentials and a cafe selling fresh coffee, croissants, and freshly prepared food. Waitrose, Morrisons and Lidl are in Bridport (approx 2 miles away). Bridport has a range of high-street shops and a healthy array of independent shops, including a greengrocer and a butcher.

Restaurants Eypes Mouth Hotel and the New Inn both serve good food and are within walking distance of the property. The surrounding area offers many dining options to suit every taste and budget.
