  • Secluded romantic retreat hidden away in a rural location and away from the hustle and bustle
  • Admire the unspoiled views across the beautiful Rocombe Valley or visit the nearby Jurassic Coast
  • Direct walks from the doorstep through the verdant countryside or along the river to Lyme Regis
Property code: OC-41563

Enjoying a secluded setting on a quiet country lane, this romantic retreat is perfect for couples and their canine companions seeking a cosy bolthole from which to explore the beautiful Dorset coastline. Stroll the mile and a half down the lane to reach the popular town of Lyme Regis where you can walk the South West Coast Path taking in the impressive views, feast on freshly-caught fish and chips overlooking Cobb harbour or hike up Doghouse Hill for a challenging walk through the Dorset countryside.

Your art-studio style accommodation has a bright and airy feel, filled with natural light from the bi-folding doors. The open-plan living space means your hound is never far from sight whether you are preparing tea for two in the well-designed kitchen area or sharing it at the cosy dining table. After a day exploring the local area, snuggle up on the stylish sofa with the logs crackling in the wood burner and enjoy a glass of wine or catch up on your favourite TV programme. Freshen up in the contemporary shower room before curling up under the duvet of your king-size bed for a peaceful sleep. Step outside from the lounge area onto the decked terrace which is a lovely spot to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or al fresco meal at the table and chairs or fire up the BBQ in the courtyard. Guests can also use Little Lookout, a cosy garden room which has been transformed into a secluded, suntrap area.

Enjoy long walks along the spectacular beaches of the Jurassic Coast, including Monmouth Beach (2.5 miles) for fossil-hunting, Eypemouth Beach (10.5 miles) for wonderful views and the famous Chesil Beach (25.5 miles) with its endless stretch of pebble beach. Visit the pretty seaside town of Seaton (10 miles) and ride the historic tramway through the scenic countryside with your faithful friend at your side.

We had a lovely time at Little Spinney which is small but perfectly formed and big enough for 2 people & a Labrador with lovely views from the decking. The garden area is secure and a small wooded area is great for doggy sniffing opportunities. The Spinney is accessed via a single track road, and there is a steep set of stairs down to the property Read moreso it may not be suitable for people with mobility issues. There is a nice pub a 2 minute drive away and plenty of eateries in Lyme Regis. Hide
