Chesil Watch - sleeps 10 people
Perfect for a family seaside break in a beautiful peaceful setting at The Old Coastguards, this detached holiday property has bright, spacious and flexible accommodation and has recently undergone a full refurbishment.

Continue on to the heart of the village and you will find the local shops, pubs, tea rooms, art galleries, and the famous Abbotsbury Swannery can be found on the eastern edge of the village. The walks, views and sunsets are fantastic in this very special place.

Beautiful property and location!
The house is absolutely lovely and the view is even better. We didn’t realise we’d be that close to the sea which was a great surprise. The house is well equipped and the layout is perfect for families. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch too. The nearest village of abbotsbury was beautiful, you almost feel like you’re in a time warp. There’s also a great park for the kids, with a nice view of St.Catherines chapel. We’ve had such a lovely break, we didn’t want to leave! 11/10 😊
