If you’re looking for eco-friendly self-catering holiday accommodation in Dorset, Chesil Beach Lodge is your ideal holiday destination. We offer a choice of four delightful self catering apartments; each with stunning sea and coastal views over Lyme Bay.

Our eco credentials


  • Wherever possible, we use organic and locally sourced products: locally produced cheese and dairy products, locally baked bread, locally caught fish, and meat from our local butcher.

  • In order to minimise waste we buy in bulk, avoid buying products that are over-packaged, and we compost our vegetable waste.

  • In the day-to-day running of the house we use environmentally friendly cleaning products, energy efficient light bulbs, open fires and wood burners to supplement heating, and we line-dry the laundry in summer.

  • We are committed to recycling and all our glass, plastic milk bottles, tins, clothes and cardboard is collected and recycled in Dorset. Unwanted household items and clothing are recycled via our local Oxfam shop.

  • We believe in supporting local industry and we employ local staff and hire local trades people.

  • We encourage our guests to explore the local area on foot or on public transport, and we have a wide range of maps and guides which guests are free to use.
Choose between one or two bedroom apartments, sleeping between four and six people.We provide everything you need to make your holiday as comfortable and relaxing as possible, but with minimum impact on the planet. All our self catering apartments have central heating (two are supplemented with wood burners), oven / hob, fridge, microwave, iron and ironing board, king size beds plus 4’ sofa beds, linen and towels for main bedrooms, and Digital Freeview TV and DVD player. We also provide free WiFi.

And if you don’t feel like cooking on your first evening on holiday, or after a busy day exploring Dorset and its many attractions, you can request a delicious home-cooked locally sourced evening meal to be delivered to your apartment or put in your fridge ready for your arrival.
