The Greenhouse, Eype

Come and relax in our 2-bedroom holiday apartment at Eype.

Eype Beach sits between Golden Cap and West Bay, ideal if you wish to park your car and spend a week watching the waves and spectacular sunsets. If you want to explore this World Heritage Coastline; our holiday home sits right on the South West Coast path!

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.

Attractions:

Symondsbury Estate – 1500 acres of Dorset countryside and ancient woodlands. Home of the iconic Colmers Hill (accessible from their free car park). The visitor centre has shops, a gallery and a cafe.
Golden Cap – park at Langdon Hill National Trust car park and enjoy a walk around the wooded circular route or take on the ascent up Golden Cap for incredible views in every direction.

Seal Cove – a climbing and indoor play area in Bridport for kids to enjoy if the weather is against you.

The ‘Jurassic Coaster’ (X51 and X53) travels along the coast in both directions but if you need to get a bus we would suggest that walk along the coast path to West Bay (30 minutes) or drive into Bridport and take a bus from there.

A must visit for tranquill/ peaceful time away! Positive: This place was just what we needed a very relaxing and peaceful location. Ben was very helpful with any questions we had, too. The little touches at the chalet made this stunning place by the beach stand out. We will definitely come again :) Negative: Nothing

Terri Kathleen November 2025

Absolutely beautiful stay! This was our first family holiday as a four and it didn’t disappoint in the slightest. The accommodation was immaculate, warm, cosy and modern. The kitchen had everything you needed. With plenty of utensils, crockery and cutlery. The beds are super comfy with lovely pillows. The rooms are spacious as we had room to fit a travel cot down one side. They also have built in wardrobes. The shower is amazing !! So warm and powerful. All info is explained in a manual which is very handy. WiFi is great and works perfect. The area around is absolutely beautiful! With walks in every direction. The climb up the hill gives you fantastic views and you can see people paragliding off the top. Hosts stayed in touch and replied quickly. Plenty to do in the area for children and adults alike ! Highly recommend

Victoria November 2025

We had a lovely stay, all our needs were met and the location is amazing.

Sean November 2025

Beautiful, spacious lodge right on the beach front. Can’t recommend it enough. Great location for surrounding attractions, West Bay 10 Mins, Chalmouth 15 mins and Lyme Regis 20 mins. Nice looking pub very closed but was closed during our stay. Beach Cafe also looked great and only a minutes walk away.
