About this property
Situated on the peaceful grounds of Eype Mouth Chalet Park rests this charming single-storey holiday home, Sandpiper Chalet. Boasting stunning sea views and offering a homely and welcoming interior, Sandpiper Chalet is an idyllic base for a small family looking to explore the delights of Dorset. Stepping inside, you're welcomed by an open-plan living space, beautifully-appointed with a neutral décor and flooded with natural light invited in through the patio doors, enticing you to nestle in on the sumptuous sofa and soak in the panoramic views across the dramatic coastline as you unwind with a cup of tea. Venture to the charming kitchen, tucked away in the corner of the room, and share a bottle of wine with the designated chef as they prepare a delicious meal for the group, making use of all of the modern amenities provided, and serving your culinary delights at the dining table set in the centre of the sociable space. Step outside and relax with a leisurely seat on the patio, toasting a glass of fizz as you enjoy the incredible views that decorate the horizon ahead, before heading back indoors to prepare for bed with an invigorating rinse in the walk-in shower. Retire for the evening in one of the two thoughtfully laid out bedrooms, with the choice between a king-size room, where you can wake as the sun rises over the water and floods the room with light, or the snug twin room, perfect for reading to both little ones before bed. Take a break from doing the cooking and treat your loved ones to a home-cooked meal at the nearby pub, The New Inn, serving a friendly Dorset welcome alongside an excellent selection of cask ales and local ciders, featuring a tranquil terraced garden enveloped in scenic countryside views alongside a roaring log burner, offering the perfect setting whatever the weather! Pack your beach-going essentials and take the short stroll through the quaint winding roads, passing the traditional pastoral buildings en route, to the nearby seafront, boasting a mixture of pebble and sand and backed by impressive cliffs, including the towering Golden Cap, known as the highest cliff on the south coast. Avid walkers can embark on adventures from the door, following the South West Coast Path along the dramatic Jurassic coastline to the nearby harbour settlement of West Bay, or the unspoilt seaside village of Charmouth. The market town of Bridport is within easy reach, home to an exciting selection of high-street and boutique stores, and hosting a regular farmers market showcasing local produce; be sure to sample some tasty Dorset delights. Discover the hidden gem of Eype with a stay at Sandpiper Chalet.
Nestled on the dramatic Jurassic coast rests the quaint village of Eype, offering the backdrop for the popular British television crime drama, Broadchurch.

A note in the manual would have been helpful. The property was just as described and as you would hope to find the accommodation. Clean comfortable and of a high standard. An added bonus is the closeness of the sea and view from the patio.

The only thing we wasnât happy with is the cleanliness, very dusty all over, cobwebs on walls, corners of rooms. Cupboard doors need wiping down, skirting boards very dusty. Not sure why a long hair was sellotaped to the inside of a kitchen cupboard?!?! Needs a good clean otherwise a lovely place to stay. I would be having a word with the cleaners they are not doing the job very well. Welcome pack lovely to receive. We enjoyed our stay.

We had a wonderful week here (very lucky with the British weather) with so much to see from the doorstep, especially if you have good mobility. Would highly recommend this lovely place. Honestly can't think that anything was missed in Sandpiper chalet, very well equipped and perfect for a family of 4.
