A handsome period cottage sleeping six guests, a stay here will allow you to explore the stunning Jurassic Coast which can be reached within 2 miles of the property. With a homely yet traditional feel, this charming property is a great choice if you are travelling with up to two dogs, especially as it is ideally located for some fantastic country walks.

This attractive period stone cottage has three steps leading up to the front and into the welcoming lounge with its wood burner in the large inglenpook fireplace, in front of which you are sure to find your dogs stretched out at the end of the day.

The main beach in Lyme Regis is open to our canine companions from October through to April, although there are designated areas for them at the far edge of the town all year round, so why not take Fido - you never know what he might dig up!

This was the perfect stay. Plenty of space in rooms and everything was so comfortable and relaxed. We were so happy here for the week, including our two dogs. John and Ros were attentive owners who had provided a clean and wonderful base. The garden had a BBQ and is quite the suntrap in the summer, fantastic for hazy Al fresco dining. The beds wereRead more comfortable and we all slept well. My daughter really loved the ponies and was sad to leave them. All in all a great break in a fab location! Hide

We enjoyed a wonderfully relaxing stay at Higher Holcombe Farm. Great little outdoor area equipped with firepit BBQ, very clean and well equipped - and plenty of seating for our family of six. Worth a revisit to explore more of the walking routes!

The cottage is charming, cosy and quaint. The accommodation is ideal for a multi age group family holiday. If you have a dog with you, the fully enclosed patio garden is ideal - no prospects of escapees.
