  • Detached, rural property with spacious garden and far reaching views of the Dorset countryside 
  • Dine al fresco on the terrace, relax in the private hot tub or explore the walks from the doorstep 
  • Only three miles from the spectacular Jurassic Coast to explore and maybe find a fossil or two
Property code: 77437

Set in a fantastic location for exploring the wonderful Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, escape with family, friends and dogs for a fun-filled holiday. Sleeping eight guests across four bedrooms, one of which is housed in a separate lodge, enjoy spending sociable times together after beach days at nearby Eype (3 miles). On arrival, tuck into goodies from the thoughtful welcome pack before jumping into the hot tub for a relaxing night filled with bubbles.

Make yourselves at home at the end of the private lane and head straight for the lounge for a sumptuous unwind. Decorated in delightfully fresh tones, with floods of natural light, this space is perfect for relaxing in. Fire up the wood burner and sink into the large corner sofa to admire the views through the bay window. When it’s time to rustle up treats, the light, stylish kitchen has all you need to cook up a storm or head outside and get the BBQ sizzling for an al fresco night of sundowners. Call young guests out of the snug/games room and head outside for a feast and a soak in the hot tub, whilst they descend from the decking to the garden to bounce the night away on the trampoline under the stars. If you’re calling the lodge home, enjoy one last tipple on your raised decking before settling down for the night, or head back to the house and upstairs to one of three charming bedrooms for a peaceful sleep. There is ample off-road parking. 

Give the dog a bone, pack up a picnic and travel 3 miles south to the beach at Eype. Sitting beneath the National Trust’s Golden Cap, this beach welcomes dogs all year round so you can have a ball and frolic in the sand together. Treat yourselves to a night off from the kitchen or pick up some delicious produce from the twice-weekly markets at Bridport (3 miles). Its eclectic arts scene, variety of shops and a handful of delicious eateries make this bustling town worth a trip. Just 4 miles from your door, visit Seatown for a day of fossil hunting.

A fantastic week away. The house was perfect. Beautifully equipped with all that we needed and very comfortable. The welcome basket was lovely and all essentials were provided (washing up liquid etc). The outside space was perfect for BBQs and relaxing in the sunshine and was incredibly peaceful

The location was fantastic, we loved the views. The garden was secure enough to contain our energetic dog (collie cross) and there was plenty of room to throw a ball for him. We enjoyed the hot tub.

Beautiful views from this family friendly cottage. We enjoyed beautiful walks to the Symondsbury estate cafe for brunches. It worked well for us as a group of eight.

We had a lovely stay here and it is very well equipped and peaceful. A short country walk to the restaurant and estate shop, with a pub down the road too. A good location for Weymouth, Lyme Regis and coastal walks. A brilliant secure garden for the dogs too. The only negatives it isnt a high end luxury property, its functional, clean in areas it shRead moreould be and tidy. Its also limited in the house bedrooms for hanging clothes and its chalet style so it would be a squeeze upstairs if 6 adults. Hide

The place was wonderful. Hot tub fabulous. Enjoyed the space, the wood burners , the large cooker and table .. fabulous views, the Symonsbury Estate was a bonus treat. Great for Lyme Regis, Charmouth, walks from the house to Colmers Hill and the Holloway from the Estate Farm Shop. We appreciated the fresh bread , milk etc on arrival.

If you want somewhere with beautiful views, enjoy comfy beds and sofas, and want somewhere to stay that is really well equipped. this is the place for you. Just be careful if you don't own a 4x4 in the winter, as some of the roads can be precarious in bad weather getting to the lodge from the village. Having said that, we our stay!

We had a great week at Dorset Gem, despite rather mixed weather. The cottage is very well appointed, warm and comfortable. It was a perfect location for a group ranging from grandparents to a two year old and a baby. We all enjoyed being able to walk down to the village to visit the estate cafe, shops and farm animals. We found everyone we dealt wiRead moreth on the estate friendly and helpful. We all appreciated the hot tub in the garden and the toddler loved the trampoline. We would definitely return. Hide
