Lovely peaceful site.

We have just returned from 6 nights at this site. We were booked for 3 nights & then we planned on moving further along the coast but the cl we were booked on was waterlogged (not surprisingly considering the weather but we were assured it was well drained & it would not be a problem!!) so we contacted Sue Duncan & we were welcomed back to the Doghouse site. It is an easy walk both to the village (2 very nice pubs who both do good food) & to the beach. The exhibition in the Catholic Church about the history of Chideock was well worth a visit & is a nice walk along a lane from the village. Lovely site.

Beautiful Surroundings

There are two sites here, DogHouse is the CC site and is over the hedge from Broadlands. Due to the CDP being in Broadlands and us having on board tanks, the owner suggested we stayed on Broadlands. Both are basically the same, there are two fields identical. The difference is Broadlands is closer to the A35 slightly, but doesn't have the advantage of the hedge to protect it from the road noise or being visible from the road. Given the choice I would prefer to have been on Dog House. There are grass pitches but a hard standing area at the entrance to the field which is what everyone was using, as it was winter. The views of the surrounding countryside are beautiful, but you can't see the sea! it is only a short ten minute walk to the beach which has a lovely pub right by it. Don't drive though as you have to pay for parking! There are some lovely coastal path walks around, although rather muddy this time of year. The surrounding beaches are all lovely pebbles. Keep an eye out for fossils too! We met some lovely people on the site and in the local area. There are some good shops and farm shops near by. Turn left on the A35 and a little way out of Chideock is the nearest farm shop. Also a small shop in Chideock. Bridport had a morrisons and waitrose as well as butchers. Its a fairly good sized town. We went to the Donkey sanctuary which is dog friendly, a lovely place to spend the day. The farm track running past the sites can be fairly busy with general and farm traffic. Some are quite large lorries and tractors and do not obey the 5mph speed limit at all, so be careful with little ones. Overall a lovely site, but I'd chose dog house over broad lands purely to try to minimise the road noise and not be visible from the road. No sign of owners, but more than happy to take in a package for us as we needed to do some emergency maintenance as something broke on the way down! Got the balance just right, not in your face, but there if you needed them, so don't expect a welcome party!

what a stunning site

We spent 6 fabulous nights here ( should have been 7 but had car problems ). Stunning views of the Dorset coastline. Great dog walking paddock which you could carry on walking further through to the beach took around 15 mins. nice walk into the village to the local pub The George Inn lovely food there. Also the fabulous Moores biscuit and bakery shop were they sold their own delicious biscuits and bread and the owner was ever so friendly. Lovely base for sightseeing around the area we visited West Bay, Lyme Regis, Beer and shopping in Bridport. Was so sad to leave to move on to our next site, would loved to have spent our 2 weeks here. Definitely on my list for a return visit highly recommended would give this site 100 /100

Perfect Pitch

What a lovely site this is, a long paddock looking out over the beautiful Dorset coast. With a massive field adjoining the site for dog walking and only 15 minutes walk to the beach. We had 7 nights of peace and tranquillity here the children loved it flying their kites in the field too. Lovely little pub in the village "George Inn" with great food all sourced from local businesses. This site is a little gem and would recommend it to anyone. Sad to leave such a beautiful place today.

Definitely returning!

Just spent a week on this lovely CL site. The bus service which is nearby makes getting about easy without having to take the car. We went on the bus for a day to Weymouth, a day in Bridport (on market day) and a day at Lyme Regis. There is a handy Londis store in the village and a lovely 10 minute walk to the beach and coastal path. There is a beautiful church which has an exhibition of times gone by in Chideock and on Sundays you can enjoy a cream tea in the grounds. Overall a very relaxing and enjoyable place. We will definitely be going back.

Picture perfect

What a beautiful site, thoughtfully laid out, everyone gets a panoramic view of the rolling hills which surround it. It's a short walk to the (very) pebbly beach, great for dogs, and a well patronised pub. There's also a bus stop nearby. We met other campers who return year after year, and can see why. An absolute gem.

A good find

Sadly no photograph on the website but we thought we would "give it a go". Saying this we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived. The site is a well kept area of grass with the option of hardstanding for two motorhomes/caravans. Hookups and water within easy reach. There are very pleasing views all around of arable farmland, a perfect place to sit and relax. Across the adjacent field and not more than a 10 minute walk away is the Anchor pub, an ideal spot for refreshment after a days walking along the coastal path. The village is handy for shopping and catching the bus to Lyme Regis etc: A lovely few days away, we will definitely be coming back again.

Beauty through the eye of the storm.

Just spent three nights at this lovely well kept site, nice stroll to the beach even though it was blowing a gale. Great site for walking the dog and easy access to local points of interest.
