Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found The Wave clean and well-maintained, but there were instances of cleanliness not meeting expectations, including reports of dust and food debris. These issues seem to be exceptions rather than the rule.
The location is consistently lauded for its breathtaking views and easy access to the beach and coastal paths. Guests are enamoured with the natural beauty and proximity to local attractions.
Guests enjoy the property's comfort overall, but some have reported issues with mattresses and seating. The main bed's topper and the positioning of the TV were noted discomforts.
Facilities are generally praised for being well-appointed and high-quality. There were minor issues with underfloor heating and a washing machine, but these were addressed promptly. Some guests suggested improvements to kitchenware.
The property's thoughtful touches, such as a welcome package, were appreciated by guests. However, as these are not mentioned by all reviewers, they may not be a consistent offering.
About this property
The Wave at Eype is a unique architect designed lodge style property, and it offers breath-taking uninterrupted sea views. Newly constructed in 2018, this contemporary lodge has fully glazed bi-fold doors leading on to a large decked area, which makes the most of the sea and coastal views, from both inside the property and out. The doors make the open plan living kitchen dining space part of the outside and they allow the light to flood in, and bring the stunning views to the doorstep. The curved shape of The Wave affords guests the opportunity of a first floor master bedroom with further additional unique sea views. There are also two ground floor bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom.
This exceptional gem is just a few moments' walk from the beach, and coastal path, and it offers the perfect location for a relaxed seaside family holiday in Dorset.
Just a short drive away the market town of Bridport, with its famous market, large selection of independent shops, and popular restaurants and it is well worth a visit. If you are a fan of the ITV series Broadchurch, the chalet used in series one is directly opposite The Wave, and West Bay where the series was based is just a short drive away, and you can recognise many familiar sights from the programme when you visit.
There is much to be enjoyed on the doorstep of this beautiful property, but don’t let that stop you from exploring further afield, as Chesil beach, Charmouth, Lyme Regis, Abbotsbury, Portland and Weymouth are all close by, and an easy drive away.
This chalet would suit a family or group of friends who want to make the most of being on the coast.
Eype sits on some of the most dramatic Jurassic Coastline, and famously features one of ITV’s series Broadchurch’s. The beach at Eype is a steeply shelving pebble beach that is dog friendly all year round and just 3 miles from Bridport and 4 from West Bay, where many other Broadchurch locations can be viewed, as well enjoying local fish and chips on the harbour side and ice creams on the sea front. Bridport offers all the high street amenities you will need along with a much-coveted antiques and collectables market. Golden Cap, the highest point in Dorset, sits on the South West Coast path and is just 4 miles from Eype, although it’s the highest point there are moderate routes to walk to the top, where spectacular far reaching views along the coast will be your reward.

Gorgeous lodge in a gorgeous location. The master bedroom was huge and didnât find headspace to be a problem, the air con up there was a real bonus. There was everything there you needed, the only kitchen item I missed was a teapot - but thatâs because we are a tea drinking family! The only think that could improve slightly was the cleaning, a few corners and under edge of sofa had dirt - I think this may be due to hoover not working, I went to use the little Henry hoover one evening and realised the plug only had 2 prongs so couldnât plug in, I swept instead but was hard to get all the bits of dirts and stones, which are to be expected after a day at the beach. However this did not spoil our amazing holiday - the walk to West Bay for evening meals was so lovely - even teenagers didnât complain! Thank you

We are family group of four adults and the accomodation was very comfortable. The view is awesome . The narrow lane down to the property is worth the effort , itâs why the place is quiet and tranquil. The proximity to the beach and coastal walks is brilliant. Thank you we would thoroughly recommend the wave.

The accommodation was clean and well maintained with all the facilities needed for a pleasant stay. The welcome package and milk were a nice surprise. The badgers foraging on the patio each evening was an added bonus and the close proximity of the coastal path and beach made for very convenient walking and bathing opportunities. Our party of four adults and two very young children had a great time ( being very fortunate with the weather helped) and would certainly consider a repeat visit.
