Good but a bit pricey
Doghouse
Spent five nights here in rather mixed weather. The hills, surprisingly provided little protection from the south westerly gale coming into Lyme Bay. Despite several attempts was unable to get the motorhome level except by parking across the pitch. A previous review complains about this orientation making vans a bit on the close side. Had the owners not set so many pitch markers, this would not be a problem. I can understand have a couple of extras for pitch rotation but there were far more than might be needed for five vans. Services were basic but adequate. An hourly bus service runs from the main road. Overall a pleasant site but expensive considering the facilities provided.
Brilliant site
Doghouse
Stayed here for 7 nights , fantastic site, brilliant weather, plenty of walking from the site , very good bus service ,the only sad thing about this site is every unit is asked by the owner to park the back of your caravan/ motorhome to the post , but when we arrived 3 vans were sideways , making it almost impossible to reach the water pipe, when we spoke to Martin the warden ,he said people will not listen when asked to park the right way, everything else is perfect ,

Not in the Doghouse
Doghouse
Just had a wonderful 15 nighter at Broadlands (Doghouse full), you can see why, quite a few of our fellow caravanners who we shared the site with during our stay returned year on year. Lovely site and views, its a field with water, electric and elsan point. Easy access from A35 a little road noise but not intrusive. Enough said.
Lovely site.
Doghouse
Just returned from a 2 night break at this lovely location. The Doghouse site was fully booked but we were allocated a space on the Broadlands site immediately next to Broadlands. Good sized hard standing, ehu and water available. Although just off the main road, the site was peaceful. Did the walk to Seatown beach which was a comfortable distance, although the weather was rather windy but it made the sea even more attractive. Short stroll into Chideock which has a Spar shop and two pubs. Would happily return.
Tip Top CL
Doghouse
On the spur of the moment, decided to come away as the weather was so good and found this amazing CL site. Absolutely perfect, views incredible and as described the walk to the beach was 20 mins, where our dog could swim in the sea and we could enjoy a lovely coffee from the local shop whilst sitting in the sun. Would thoroughly recommend this site.
