About this property

Just steps away from famous Chesil Beach with its 18 mile stretch of shingle, Chesil Watch is situated along the private coastal track between Abbotsbury and West Bexington and has wonderful, uninterrupted views of the sea and coastline.

Perfect for a family seaside break in a beautiful peaceful setting at The Old Coastguards, this detached holiday property has bright, spacious and flexible accommodation and has undergone a full refurbishment.

Although its Jurassic Coast location is private with access via a single track road, it is only a 20-minute walk along the coastal path to West Bexington or a 15-20 minute walk towards Abbotsbury where you will find the sub-tropical gardens. Continue on to the heart of the village and you will find the local shops, pubs, tea rooms, art galleries; and the famous Abbotsbury Swannery can be found on the eastern edge of the village. The walks, views and sunsets are superb in this very special place.

The sitting room, dining room and kitchen are open-plan and ideal for getting all the family together. There is a ground floor master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and shower, two ground floor twin or king-size double bedrooms and a shared shower room. On the first floor are two twin or super-king size double bedrooms each with an en-suite shower room, and two small balconies with panoramic coastal views. There is a bespoke, spacious and well equipped kitchen. Outside is a gravelled courtyard with a dining deck, table and chairs, corner sofa and coffee table. Above the property is a large open lawned area. The property also has a separate utility/laundry room.

This beautiful stretch of the coastline, known as the Jurassic Coast, has World Heritage status and offers direct access to much of the world famous Chesil Beach and Coastal Path. The stretch of beach close to the property is regularly voted to be one of the best fishing beaches in the country.

Additional Information:

One well-behaved dog welcome (additional charge).

Children and infants welcome. A high chair and portable stair gate are available on request.

A charcoal barbecue is provided during the summer months (please provide your own charcoal).

    What a lovely experience! We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay, a comfortable, cosy amazing stay!

  • The W Family

    Everything was glorious from start to too-soon end. Spectacular setting, spoiling welcome pack and sublime sunshine - an absolute treat of a stay! No need or desire to roam far, but we did enjoy a few nearby walks and a delicious fish supper on the terrace at The Club House. Many thanks.

  • The C Family

    We have had a fantastic time celebrating a 60th birthday. The house is amazing, such a great location for the fisherman in the family! They caught us lots of mackerel and some dogfish. Cherry cafe in the village is great for lunch. We loved Lyme Regis and found some fossils on Fossil Beach. Thank you for a great stay!
