Short House Chesil Beach

It was lovely to drive to the Short House, along the historic ancient Labour in Vain lane, looking down across the fields to the sea to the horizon. The countryside and walks surrounding are breath-taking. A lovely place to unwind and relax. A place where it is almost like going back in time to old Dorset.

Even coasting down the drive to Short House is a treat: striking umbrella pines on either side with pampas grass in between that brush the car with a soothing whisper as you pass... A lovely house to escape to with only the sound of the waves to lull you to sleep. Great open-plan living space, a suntrap terrace and bedrooms with stunning sea views. Only a few hundred yards down the field to dramatic Chesil Beach - perfect for your dog to come along too. Andrew was friendly and has lots of tips about the area - crunch along the shingle for an outstanding fish lunch at The Club House restaurant.

I'm not sure I have the vocabulary to do the Short House justice. A simply beautiful, tranquil and uniquely located bolthole to escape the hustle and bustle of life. The facilities are perfect, - great kitchen & living area; two fantastic bedrooms and two great bathrooms...so far, so good; but then you get the 'garden'...a perfect 500 yard walk down to Chesil Beach. If there is a better back garden in the world I haven't found it. Couldn't recommend highly enough. Andrew & Julie; thank you for being such wonderful hosts - we will be back.

V pleasant cottage in an excellent location, close to Chesil Beach. Comfortable, nicely decorated and kitted out. Decent WiFi. Good for the dog too - plenty of running room and no long lists of restrictions.
