Sandpiper Chalet in Bridport is a well-furnished and equipped holiday home praised for its superb location and sea views. Guests appreciate the recent renovations and the thoughtful touches like a welcome hamper, though some noted minor issues with cleanliness and maintenance. The property's tranquil setting and proximity to the beach make it a popular choice for a peaceful getaway.

Most guests found the chalet to be clean and well-presented, though there were a few mentions of specific areas needing more attention, such as under sofa cushions, external windows, and kitchen items. The overall impression remains positive, with cleanliness being satisfactory for most visitors.

The chalet's location is highly praised for its stunning sea views and proximity to the beach, making it an ideal spot for relaxation and coastal walks. The challenging access road was noted, but it does not detract significantly from the overall positive reception of the location.

Guests are generally pleased with the comfort provided by the chalet, mentioning the quality of the beds and the cosy atmosphere. Some suggested additional furniture for convenience, but these are minor compared to the overall comfort experienced during their stays.

The chalet is well-equipped, especially the kitchen, but there are recurring issues with the microwave and dishwasher. Some guests also suggested improvements to the practicality of the crockery and the addition of basic kitchen utensils. The maintenance of certain facilities like the shower and heated towel rail was also brought up.

The chalet's thoughtful touches, such as a welcome hamper and a book on Eype, are well-received by guests, contributing to a pleasant stay. While these gestures are appreciated, it is politely noted that such gifts are not guaranteed for every visit.

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. The village homes a traditional country pub, a delicious restaurant alongside a takeaway, as well as a well-stocked convenience store, perfect for assisting with your self-catering needs! The front of Eype is decorated with a delightful pebble beach, with the added bonus of being dog friendly all year round! Nearby are the popular destinations of Bridport and West Bay, well worth a visit, whatever time of year.

    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 wasn’t 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.
