Lower Pound Farm is a wonderful property in very peaceful countryside. I can't believe how quiet it was. The views from the windows are exceptional. You can even see the sea from the property. Everything you need for your holiday is provided. Dishwasher, washing machine, double oven, large stock pots. The garden had a large trampoline and climbing Read moreframe for the children. It was close to all the tourist spots like Lyme Regis, Seaton Tramway, Weymouth, Portland, Durdle Door. I would absolutely recommend this property if you value peace and quiet and unspoilt views of the countryside, sitting on the patio drinking your coffee, watching the woodpeckers and finches feeding from the bird feeder. Thank you to the owners, we really enjoyed our stay. Hide
