We loved it, was a perfect location, the best views ever The house is very comfortable, with everything you need, like home from home There is sky telly in every room, docking stations for I-pods, the kitchen is equipped with every thing you need, I even made a cake while I was there! Will definitely return
Our second stay at Beach View was as perfect as the first. The views just as stunning and the beds just as comfortable! The house is very much a home from home with everything you could possibly need to make your stay perfect! The host is very keen to ensure everything is as it should be.
We very much enjoyed our stay in Beach View. Without doubt the magnificent sweeping sea view (all the way from the Isle of Wight to the Isle of Purbeck and Jurassic Coast) from the back of the house and garden is the best feature of the property. The beds are also considerably more comfortable than in many of the Rural Retreats we have stayed in. I have rated it 4 rather than 5 stars because of the traffic noise from the through road at the front of the property, which was particularly disturbing at night and early in the morning, with the windows often rattling as vehicles drove past. Three of the four bedrooms have windows facing the road - only the master bedroom does not. Also, making the sharp right angled turn in and out of the driveway was quite awkward, particularly given that there were often cars and vans parked on the road immediately on either side of the entrance.
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback and confirming how comfortable are pocket spring beds are ! I am sorry there was a sensitivity to noise. HOPEFULLY THE SOUND OF THE SEA DID NOT INTRUDE. The house is set well back from the road. Two of the bedrooms have large sliding doors and windows directly on to the sea view (one also is the width of the house so has a small double glazed window facing the road). The other two bedrooms are road facing but double glazed (for warmth not sound) and the road is a standard narrow coastal road so nothing which has previously led to any feedback from guests. Just to let you know we have taken lockdown to have furniture polished and painted together with adding many new items of equipment and furniture for our guests to enjoy ! This includes a bench on the top decking.
The hamper mostly had food suitable for children, not up to Rural Retreats high standard! The key to the house was not at all easy to get to. We couldnt get the TV's to work with Sky so the owner immediately sent someone round. Wonderful view of the bay, but rental is overpriced for the area and house.
Response from the owner: Thank your so much for have brought problems with the Sky remotes to our attention while you were there so we could deal with it immediately for you and future guests. Delighted you enjoyed the amazing views and your stay. The hamper contains the Rural recommended items and so not sure why this is considered directed at a younger generation.
Great location, house ideal for a family celebration. 5 stars not given due to the fact that one on-suite had poor lighting due to the fact that only 3 of the 8 lights were working, as well as the vanity light being out of action.TV in kitchen also not working.Chairs in dining room were a bit rickety with one in poor state of repair.
What a great place to stay for our 50th Wedding anniversary with our children and two grandchildren (3 and 5 ) The house had everything we needed and the decor was excellent. The beach hut was a very handy addition and the children loved the swimming at the hotel. The weather was also perfect. All in all it is a great place to make happy memories.
Ideal house for a family holiday and very well equipped.
No hot water for first 24 hours - owner sorted. Unable to operate 3 of 7 TVs. Games provided but quite a lot of bits missing. Beach Hut great but had been left dirty, we had been warned but for the price pity it couldn't be checked between lets. Shortage of breakfast bowls. Having said all this - house lovely for family holiday, position fantastic and things provided eg. extensive welcome pack, linen, white goods and general decor and cleanliness were excellent. This may sound picky but it is a top price let!
From the owner ~ We are delighted that you had a good time and enjoyed your holiday at Beach View. The hot water was missing from the two en suite shower rooms due to a failed alternator and I am glad we were able to remedy this within 24 hours on a bank holiday. The previous guests had broken 4 bowels from one of 3 sets of bowels and unfortunately we were not notified until you had completed your stay. Regarding the beach hut - it is provided free of charge and relies on each guest to leave it in a reasonable state. If it is not found in a good state by new guests they are invited to contact us to organise it to be cleaned. Finally, the property has complimentary Sky multi room which only works on 3 TV sets at any one time.
A really lovely home on the seafront that is close to some great restaurants. The bedrooms with en-suite facilities was welcomed and we thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to enjoy the sky a system with Netflix!
Wonderful house with stunning views and perfect weather.
Lovely welcome pack to greet you straight away. Spacious house in super location with stunning views. House well set-up with almost everything you could think of.
Excellent location and first class facilities / very helpful owners/caretakers when needed. Great holiday
We really enjoyed our holiday at Beach View, the house was in a convenient location, great views, clean and very comfortable. A really good welcome hamper and very pleasant, helpful and informative owners, giving us lots of information before we arrived.
Great location & home highly recommended
Excellent standard of house and housekeeping.

Downstairs bathroom needed an update and a walk in shower.
A very well equipped, clean and comfortable property in a wonderful position overlooking the beach and sea. The availabilty of a beach hut adds to the beach holiday experience.
