Our hosts couldn’t have been nicer. It’s a perfect location for walking and exploring the area. The property was as described, although the parking was directly outside and was used by another letting. If privacy is an issue, this may not be the place for you.

About the host

Hosted by Louise Roberts

I am a fine art photographer specialising in landscapes, ancient woodlands, seascapes and extreme environments. I also work commercially for Music Festivals shooting their official photography. I swim in the sea all year round and I love nothing more than being out immersed in nature. It really is my happy place.

I grew up in West Dorset in a small village about 20 minutes from Morcombelake and spent most of my summers on Charmouth beach or at Lyme Regis which was a wonderful way to spend your childhood. After 20 plus years in West London we decided that it was time to move back home.

Why they chose this property

My family and I purchased West Bullen in July of 2016. We viewed West Bullen and fell in love with it immediately. It holds a very special kind of magic. Tucked away up a dirt track it is secluded, peaceful but is still very much a part of the village and the local community.

What makes this property unique

West Bullen as a whole sits on six terraces separated by beautiful old stone walls which nestle into Hardown Hill. It sits at about 600ft above sea level and the views over Charmouth and Lyme Regis bay are breathtaking. You feel as you are literally on top of the world and surveying everything below you. It is south west facing meaning you get to enjoy not only the sun all day but the sunsets which are spectacular. There is also no light pollution here and so the stargazing is really something to behold.

The property is home to a vast number trees and shrubs of all shapes and sizes, and it seems to be ever changing in its spread of colour and character. If you are lucky you'll come across deer in the upper terraces. It is truly a very special place.
