Beach Huts & Suites
Superbly comfortable and full of character
The luxurious new accommodation is unique. The simplistic design of the Beach Hut exterior is reminiscent of traditional seaside charm and combined with the contemporary duplex interior and luxurious hand-crafted furnishings, cultivates a union between form, function and views. Huge wall-to-wall glass doors fold back onto the sunbathing deck, drawing light even on the dullest of days.  

All have uninterrupted views across Lyme Bay to Portland Bill along the Jurassic Coast. Bold, contemporary art-work has been specially commissioned. The two spacious Beach Suites (980 sq ft) provide a pared-down elegance with their modern take on coastal colours. Lateral in design, the wide sun-decks (cantilevered over the beach) and interiors all make the most of the panoramic views.

The Beach Huts and Beach Suites will each sleep two. Hugging the water’s edge in a sheltered sunny spot adjoining the inn, each comprises a terrace, sitting room, wet bar, feature fire, bedroom and elegant bathroom. Set amid exquisite tropical coastal gardens and the dramatic red cliffs of the Jurassic coast, the incomparable location buoys the quintessential seaside essence. Two Beach Huts and one Beach Suite are dog friendly. The beach huts cannot accommodate extra child bed but cots for infants are available.
