Ammonite 4

Ammonite 4 is a single-storey bungalow in Bridport, within reach of Eype Beach and West Bay. The whole place is yours for two people and one pet. Ground-floor living means the open-plan lounge, kitchen and bedroom are all accessible without stairs. You get a double bed, walk-in shower, and enough kitchen equipment to cook proper meals. Wifi and heating are included, and there's parking for one car outside plus an enclosed garden where your dog can roam safely.

Eype Beach is a short walk away—a stretch of shingle backed by fossil-rich cliffs where the Jurassic Coast's geology becomes visible. West Bay, famous for its golden sandstone cliffs, lies nearby. Bridport itself has a working market, independent shops and galleries, and several pubs serving local food and drink. The South West Coast Path passes through the area for those who want longer walks. The arrangement suits couples travelling with a dog, particularly if stairs are awkward; it also works for anyone after a straightforward base near the water without fuss or pretence.
