About this property

Perfect for a family seaside break in a beautiful peaceful setting at The Old Coastguards,this detac

Perfect for a family seaside break in a beautiful peaceful setting at The Old Coastguards, this detached holiday property has bright, spacious and flexible accommodation and has recently undergone a full refurbishment.
Although its Jurassic Coast location is private with access via a single track road, it is only a 20-minute walk along the coastal path to West Bexington or a 15-20 minute walk towards Abbotsbury where you will find the sub-tropical gardens. Continue on to the heart of the village and you will find the local shops, pubs, tea rooms, art galleries, and the famous Abbotsbury Swannery can be found on the eastern edge of the village. The walks, views and sunsets are fantastic in this very special place.

The sitting room, dining room and kitchen are open plan and ideal for getting all the family together. There is a ground floor master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and shower, two ground floor twin or king size double bedrooms and a shared shower room. On the first floor there are two twin or super-king size double bedrooms each with an en-suite shower room, and two small balconies with panoramic coastal views. There is a bespoke, spacious and well equipped kitchen. Outside, there is a gravelled courtyard with a dining deck, table and chairs, corner sofa and coffee table. Above the property is a large open lawned area. The property also has a separate utility/laundry room.

This beautiful stretch of the coastline, known as the Jurassic Coast, has World Heritage status and offers direct access to much of the world famous Chesil Beach and Coastal Path. The stretch of beach close to the property is regularly voted to be one of the best fishing beaches in the country.

Dorothy S., Ottawa

a very pretty and comfortable house in a beautiful secluded location
This house, with large windows looking out at Chesil Beach and rolling farmland, is secluded, quiet, well equipped and totally satisfying. The lovely decor, the cozy rooms and comfortable furniture, the well equipped kitchen and spacious dining room, the excellent beds and pretty bedrooms make this home one of the best of the houses I have rented all over the world. The owners went to the trouble of tastefully decorating the house for our Christmas stay, including a Christmas tree. A few problems cropped up and they were dealt with immediately. We loved this home and were sorry to leave it.

Relaxing holiday in a peaceful location. If I have a criticism it would be that windows need cleaning, nearly all had cobwebs and dead flies in them

Great location and views
A really roomy and well equipped property - very much a luxury feel. It's remote - very quiet and down a long narrow road (with reversing needed at times back to passing points - although this was only needed once in our case - and also up a slope into the drive to park). Lovely night skies visible and just moments from the beach. Not a swimming beach - there's one of those 20 minutes drive away, but spectacular sea views from the kitchen, dining and living areas and the main two bedrooms. You can see all the way down Chesil beach and the light on it changes throughout the day. You can walk 25 minutes along the coast path to two good restaurants in the next village - itself a great walk (and you can come back along the top of the hill). Abbotsbury itself is also walkable (around 35 mins), as are the sub-tropical gardens which are well worth a visit. Only slight niggles while we there: hot/cold turn in one of the upstairs was very stiff and in the other upstairs ensuite the water was never that hot for some reason; in the two downstairs bathrooms (one ensuite and the other virtually ensuite) the heated towel rails were on full blast and couldn't be turned down (in summer not great and a waste of energy). Other than the towel rail, seems pretty eco-friendly though - they have solar panels and a heat pump. They could do with a compost heap too though and better instructions for recycling. None of the above detracted - it's a fantastic property and although it sits in with other properties close by, you really don't notice them at all - it was detached and very quiet. We'd certainly go again.
