About this property
The Lodge is located at the top of a private road, which also serves the owner property and High Bullen cottage, seconds off the A35. The Timber Lodge was installed by the owners to take in the amazing panoramic views across the Dorset countryside and down to the sea, offering something special, with a definite “WOW FACTOR”. Inside, the holiday décor of the lodge, with the open plan living space, large windows, high ceiling and white woodburner makes it a perfect place to relax. The skandi vibe also makes the Lodge feel special in both summer and the colder months. Take in the views through the patio doors, opening out onto the three meter wide deck and stroll through the private shingle garden with established sub-tropical planting. To the back of the Lodge are a master King size bedroom with en-suite bathroom and shower, and a twin bedroom with high quality full size adult beds, plus a separate family bathroom, containing both bath and overhead shower.
The property is all on one level, with a few external steps to access, and private parking for one car.
The pretty village of Chideock (pronounced Chiddick) can be found straddling the main A35 road between Bridport and Honiton, in glorious West Dorset. Many of the quaint cottages lining the road are constructed of cob and the honey-coloured local sandstone. Lying within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty the area has plenty of lovely walks, whilst just 1 mile away is Dorset's Jurassic Coast, famed for its fossils and ease of finding them, where a walk along the coastal path affords spectacular views across the sparkling waters of Lyme Bay towards Portland, Chisel beach and the Devon coast. A short drive east takes you to the ancient rope-making town of Bridport, and the harbour at West Bay, or venture west to visit the picturesque seaside resort of Lyme Regis. An excellent holiday base from which to explore this scenic area.

The lodge was immaculate with everything you might need for a holiday stay - excellent bedding, towels all included. The addition of a surprise homemade cream tea and prosecco added to the perfection. Plenty of outdoor space to relax and soak up the glorious views across to Golden Cap. We very much hope to return to High Bullen Lodge in the near future and recommend it to anyone needing to totally relax.
