“Wonderful welcome from our hosts.”

Who can resist homemade scones and jam with clotted cream?! We quite like Prosecco too!! Such a lovely welcome set us up for our week’s stay. We weathered Storm Kathleen snug in our holiday home and when she had passed we enjoyed some wild beach visits with fishy lunches. We ventured further afield as there are so many beautiful spots around High Bullen and were always happy to return ‘home’ at the end of each day. Thank you

“The Lodge feels modern and light, with a wonderful view to the sea.”

It's very quiet and peaceful: perfect if you are hoping to 'get away from it all'. It is easy to cook meals in the kitchen as it is so well equipped. The outdoor terrace is a generous size though sadly we didn't have the weather to make the most of it! The location is convenient for exploring the Jurassic Coast. Thoroughly recommend.

“This little treasure of a lodge is perfect, kept to such a high standard by the very accommodating owners who live a stone throw away.”

The setting is just amazing and no expense has been spared to make High Bullen Lodge the special place that it is. The Cornish tea & Rose wine on arrival was a lovely greeting..We will definitely be back! :)

“We wondered what it would be like holidaying next to the owners.”

It was absolutely fine. We had a thorough introduction at arrival which was very helpful. The bonus was the cream tea and wine left for us. We didn’t need the owners during our stay but knew it would be fine had we needed this. I very relaxing break.

“We are looking for a peaceful retreat and we got it!”

Fantastic view from the decking area! A lovely lodge clean & tidy and is fully equipped. To us was a home to home experience. The welcome gift (home made scone and a bottle of wine was a big surprise) Overall we have a wonderful sunny week!

“Fantastic little holiday property, very clean, very comfortable, very cosy, very peaceful, well equipped and with seriously good views from the decked area.”

“High Bullen Lodge is a wonderful place to stay, it’s in a great location we hardly used the car all week there are lots of walks directly from the lodge.”

The lodge itself has exceptional views, extremely comfortable and well equipped - and the owners are really lovely & helpful hosts. Would not hesitate to stay again

“Lovely site peaceful and quiet”

Jane April 2023

“This is a fabulous place to stay with a great coastal view towards Golden Cap from the sunny terrace (or through the patio doors it's raining) and a fantastic walk from the door up Hardown Hill (5mins to the top, quite steep but worth it) where there are amazing views.”

And the whole area has great places to walk either within walking distance or a short drive away through pretty Marshwood Vale lanes - Pilsdon Pen, Coney's Castle, Lewesdon Hill etc etc all great viewpoints. Even with my old dog who can't do big hikes any more we had a wonderful week. Fab bluebells everywhere too. Only 4 stars for comfort because I found the seating slippery, but I got used to it and suppose that does make it easy to keep clean! The bed was really comfortable, which is much more important. Also a brilliant farm shop nearby on the main road. This was my second time here, and I would definitely come again.

“Highly recommend a stay here.”

The owners are so kind and caring, the effort they put in to make you feel welcome is above and beyond. The lodge is warm and cosy with lots of lovely walks straight from the door.

“High Bullen Lodge is just the perfect place to spend a quiet break.”

Although it is up a short track there is very easy access onto the A35. The chalet itself is just lovely, being decorated in a seaside theme with bunting strung across the walls and an enclosed garden (down 4 steps) which is pebbly like being on the beach (no grass). Our elderly dog struggled with the steps up to the chalet and down into the garden but we manged. The only downside for us personally was that our old dog who suffers badly with arthritis kept slipping and falling on the laminated flooring. We were also kept awake by the click clack of his nails as he wandered around so a carpet or large rug would have helped.

- Dilys, September 2022
Heather September 2022

“Lovely clean property with stunning views and well equipped.”

Was greeted with apple cake and bottle of wine! Garden is dog proof and lovely walks behind the lodge on the hill for them and owners. Owners were helpful recommending which lane to use depending on which way we were travelling( the lodge is up a single track lane)

- Heather, September 2022
Graham June 2022

MORCOMBELAKE

Bridport 2 miles. Lyme Regis 7 miles. West Bay 4 miles.

Morcombelake is a small village located on the A35 between Lyme Regis and Bridport, in touching distance of Golden Cap - the highest point on the south coast of England - and the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. Home to the famous 'Dorset Knob' biscuit, the village has a small store with post office and an excellent farm shop, Felicity's.

Nearby you will find the pretty seaside village of Seatown, with its excellent pub and great fossiling beach, which allows access to the walk along the coastal path, which affords spectacular views across the sparkling waters of Lyme Bay towards Portland, Chesil beach and the Dorset coast. A short drive east takes you to the ancient rope-making town of Bridport, and the harbour at West Bay, or venture west to visit the picturesque seaside resorts of Charmoith & Lyme Regis. An excellent holiday base from which to explore this scenic area.
