  • A luxurious Grade-II listed country house, only three miles from the spectacular Jurassic Coast, within walking distance of a picturesque Dorset village near Bridport
  • Relax in the hot tub and sauna or enjoy a refreshing dip in the private indoor swimming pool or even indulge in movie nights in the cinema room
  • Explore the nearby footpaths or simply enjoy the fabulous private garden, the games room with pool table, table football and table tennis for a rainy day
Property code: 77438

This grand Grade II-listed country house, just half a mile from the idyllic Dorset village, sleeps 17 people over eight bedrooms and welcomes three four-legged friends, making it the ideal accommodation option for a family celebration or group getaway. You are sure to enjoy taking a refreshing dip in the indoor swimming pool, and your pups are certain to love exploring the enclosed garden/patio.

There are endless ways to enjoy quality time with your loved ones at this stunning country house. If the sun is shining, soak up incredible views from the beautifully manicured garden. Pull up a chair in the flower-adorned pagoda and watch your dogs happily wander around the lawn, or enjoy a relaxing dip in the bubbling hot tub while your dinner sizzles on the BBQ. If the weather takes a turn for the worse, treat yourself to a pampering session in the indoor swimming pool and private sauna. Heading inside, there’s a contemporary kitchen where you can cook up a feast for your group to enjoy in the spacious dining room while your pups snooze in front of the glowing wood burner. After dinner, curl up with a book in the sumptuous living room or watch a movie in the cinema room, before heading to one of the eight bedrooms for a blissful night’s rest.

Take your pups for a walk at the wonderfully peaceful Cogden Beach (5.5 miles), which is dog-friendly all year round. Alternatively, head to The Kingston Russell Stone Circle (16 miles), which is believed to date back some 4,000 years. This late Neolithic or early Bronze Age circle consists of 18 fallen stones on a hilltop overlooking Abbotsbury and the sea.

I would highly recommend this house. It's in a fabulous setting and is extremely well equipped and presented but it's shabby chic so you can relax. The bedrooms have lovely comfy beds and linen.

We celebrated a family 60th birthday and had a great time with our family group of 3 generations. The house is big enough to accommodate large groups with plenty of space and was lovely and warm. There was some produce left for us which was lovely. It is conveniently located (a pub within walking distance) and supermarkets close by too. The pool anRead mored hot tub were enjoyed by everyone.
