From West Bay you can follow the Jurassic Coast which is a World Heritage Site to Lyme Regis, a charming coastal town famous for its fossil-finding past. Also nearby are is The Iron Fort of Ham Hill which is now a Country Park , Barrington Court, and Forde Abbey and Gardens, all within 12 miles.
A pathway winds through stunning mature gardens to this enchanting woodlands glade. Inside, the fresh and spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner retains traditional floor tiling and large windows allowing natural light to stream in. In one corner, the inviting lounge space is a perfect place to snuggle up after a great day out, with sumptuous seating, a TV and a cosy wood burner. Over by one of the windows, a charming dining table is ideal for enjoying a meal together, which you can rustle up in the elegantly arranged and fully equipped kitchen. From the main living area, a stylish bespoke spiral staircase leads up to the characterful galleried bedroom, tastefully decorated and with a lovely double bed and a refreshing en-suite bathroom.
Heading outside, the generous, enclosed back garden is surrounded by mature trees and makes a peaceful spot for dining alfresco with serene rural views of this glorious corner of Dorset. Guests will also be welcome to play on the shared tennis courts and explore the beautiful gardens surrounding the manor house at the heart of the site.
