WHAT A SITE!
I've stayed in a lot of self-catering properties over the years but the three-bedroom bolthole of Coastguards Retreat, situated above Dorset's Chesil Beach, trumps them all.
Offering uninterrupted views along 60 miles of coastline, a stunning terrace where you can enjoy spectacular sunsets and exceptionally comfortable interiors, we couldn't fault it. Every little detail is considered - from board games and crabbing kits for the kids to a wine fridge for the grown-ups.
The owners renovated the property during lockdown to make the most of the panoramas and create luxe, family-friendly accommodation. Coastguards Retreat is situated is a prime spot next to the Cheshil Bank and the Fleet Nature Reserve, and a five-minute drive from the village of Langton Herring. Walks will take you along the breathtaking Jurassic Coast - if you can tear yourself away, that is...
THE ITINERARY
The beach at West Bexington may be pebbly but it's worth a visit for The Club House alone. Here, you'll find chilled vibes, delicious cocktails - the gin-based Fireball is a must - and a garden that will keep your little ones occupied for hours.
