    “We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Shipton Hill View.”

    The bungalow was more spacious than we expected, is very well equipped and was spotlessly clean. The garden is ideal for children and our cocker spaniel loved it. The bungalow is ideally located for exploring the Dorset Coast. Nearby is Hive Beach for coastal walks and the most amazing chips

About the location

SHIPTON GORGE

Bridport 2.8 miles; Seatown 7.2 miles; Lyme Regis 13.3 miles.

The village of Shipton Gorge has its first reference in the Domesday Book of 1086. There is no "gorge" but it is an interesting and pretty village with high banked lanes, lovely houses and a community spirit. There are a number of thatched properties as well as listed buildings, one site of special scientific interest, two small woods and a network of public footpaths and bridleways to be explored. It has an early 15th century church tower, a 13th century font and the exterior is floodlit for much of the year making it an important feature of the village both day and night.

Note: There is a step up to the front door and down from the lounge patio doors to the garden.
