Stunning views and well positioned for access to the beaches and very good pubs. The kitchen is well equipped and the house is spacious downstairs. The two smaller double rooms are quite small but the master room is quite lovely.

Gorgeous house with a fantastic terrace, with beautiful views across the Dorset countryside out to the sea. We loved sitting out here enjoying a drink or having dinner. The house had everything we needed and was very clean and well maintained. Check-in was stegosaurus straightforward. The garden was lovely too, and full of flowers during our stay iRead moren early July. Would definitely recommend this house for a peaceful and relaxing Dorset stay. Lyme Regis, the coast and other attractions are nearby. Hide

Fabulous holiday home in a beautiful location with stunning views all around. Spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Driveway is a little steep when we arrived with loaded car but soon got used to it. Absolutely brilliant holiday with wonderful weather. Loved our visits to Lyme Regis too.
