Dove Chalet

Dove Chalet is a charming cedar-wood retreat set right on Branscombe's south-facing beach, offering uninterrupted sea views across Lyme Bay. Many guests describe this spot as "idyllic", and it's easy to see why, nestled on one of the most picturesque stretches of Devon's Jurassic Coast, now recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With Branscombe beach welcoming dogs all year round, it's the perfect place to escape with your four-legged friend.

Outside Space
Bi-fold doors lead to a private balcony with deck chairs, the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening drinks while gazing out across the beach and sea.

Parking- A parking permit is provided for one car in the main car park (height restriction 2.2m). Dove Chalet is the 11th chalet down the track around 250 metres along the beach track from the car park, so we recommend packing lightly with rucksacks or a beach trolley. Alternatively, The Sea Shanty offers a buggy service for luggage transfer (£25, available before 4pm, details in arrival instructions).

The location is ideal for exploring the Jurassic Coast and its spectacular walks along the South West Coast Path and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Family favourites such as The Donkey Sanctuary, Pecorama, and Crealy are just a short drive away, while local activities range from paddleboarding and watersports to golf at Sidmouth Golf Club. The nearby towns of Sidmouth and Budleigh Salterton boast independent shops, cafés, and restaurants, including Otterton Mill and the award-winning Lympstone Manor. Within walking distance you'll also find two excellent pubs, the Fountain Head and The Masons Arms, as well as the Sea Shanty café and shop right on Branscombe beach.
