Enjoy stunning valley views from The Pod, an ideal spot to unwind. Drift off to the gentle sounds of springs and wake up to the beauty of Dorset. The Pod sleeps up to 4 with raised king-size beds. Access the main bedroom via a ladder. A snug area serves as a second bedroom.

The Owner Says

The Pod sleeps up to four guests and features a raised king-size bed accessed by a ladder—please note this may not be suitable for everyone. Beneath the main bed is a cosy snug area that can be converted into a second sleeping space with a king-size mattress.

You'll find a Smart TV and Wi-Fi in the pod, although due to our rural location, the signal can occasionally be affected by the weather.

The pod is well insulated and kept warm with both a wood-burning stove and an electric heater. The compact kitchen area includes a small fridge, kettle, toaster, cutlery, and crockery.

Outside, the private decking is built over the lake, offering a peaceful spot with seating. There’s also a fishing peg and a dedicated barbecue/fire pit area. Logs and charcoal are available to purchase on-site.

A short walk from the pod is a shared wash hut with toilets, showers, and washing-up sinks.

Due to the pod’s size, there are no built-in cooking facilities such as an oven. However, you're welcome to bring a camping stove—we kindly ask that you use it outside only, as there is no extractor fan indoors.

We also have additional accommodation on-site, making it ideal for group bookings.

Situated 3 miles down the road, west bay has a little harbour with lovely restaurants and food huts located around the edge. East Beach is a sloping, shingle beach backed by magnificent sandstone cliffs. The scenery is truly spectacular here, the golden cliffs rise 50m vertically above the beach and the views towards Chesil Beach and Portland will take your breath away.

Seatown is a small coastal hamlet less than a mile from the neighbouring village of Chideock, 3 miles to the west of West Bay. The shingle, shelving beach is privately owned and is a favourite amongst fishermen, fossil hunters and dog walkers alike. Perched above the beach you can find the multi award-winning Anchor Inn pub. There is also a Sauna on the Beach which we highly recommend! Perfect for a dip in the sea and relax back in the sauna.
