About this property

Private detached cottage to rent on Chesil Beach

Greenbanks is the last house along the coastal path, between Abbotsbury and West Bexington, and this detached holiday property is situated on Chesil Beach and has wonderful, uninterrupted views of the sea and sky. The house has been completely refurbished, having been a much-loved second home for fifty years. It retains many of its original features including an open fire, whilst offering spacious and comfortable accommodation. Each bedroom has its own bathroom. Although its location is very private (access is down a narrow, sometimes bumpy track), it is only a 20-minute walk along the coastal path to West Bexington for the nearest pub serving food. A 15-20 minute walk towards Abbotsbury will take you to the sub-tropical gardens, whilst the local shops are 2½ miles away in Abbotsbury. Bridport, Dorchester and Weymouth are each about 10 miles away. The area is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, on account of the local flora and fauna. The walks, views and sunsets are fantastic. Shops 2½ miles, pub and restaurant 1 mile.

Ground floor: Living room with French doors leading into dining room/conservatory/snug and children's play area. One double bedroom (4.6ft). Wet room with toilet. Fully fitted and well equipped kitchen.

First floor: 3 bedrooms all with sea view. Bedroom 1: double (6ft) with en-suite bathroom with shower over bath and toilet, Bedroom 2: double (6ft) or twin (a zip and link bed), with additional single day bed, with own bathroom with shower over bath and separate toilet. Bedroom 3: double (6ft) or twin (a zip and link bed) with own shower room.

Open fire in living room (initial fuel included). Central heating from biomass wood pellet fired boiler, electricity, bed linen and towels included. High chair. A cot is available, but linen not included. Electric cooker, microwave, food processor and liquidiser, dishwasher and fridge freezer. Washing machine, tumble dryer and a second fridge/freezer in external laundry room/boot room. Wi-fi and Sky TV. Large lawned garden and a terrace with furniture and a barbecue. Ample parking. No smoking. NB: 3 steps from terrace into the lawned garden.

Beach towels not provided. Please bring your own.

NOTE: although there are some weeks where we allow a 3-5 night stay, our main changeover day is Friday. So, if possible, please book for check in / check out on a Friday when staying 7 nights. Many thanks.

Breathtaking location
Five of us stayed in October including my 80year old parents. We had such a wonderful time. The location is stunning with sweeping views of the English Channel. The house is big and has lots of different spaces to get away from each other if you need to! Kitchen is fully equipped - you don’t need to bring anything. I also love that the house is still owned by family members, I wouldn’t ever sell it. It’s gorgeous.

Beautiful sea views from this charming house
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay - fabulous location and very well stocked house right on the beach. The house felt so homely - more like someone’s home than a rental - great cafe/restaurant 20 mins walk down the beach.Our age range was 23 through to 88 - something for everyone.
