In beautiful countryside bordering Devon and Somerset, these charming courtyard cottages are set within the grounds of an elegant Georgian farmhouse (previously part of neighbouring Forde Abbey estate). The cottages are cosy and well appointed and share 8 acres of lovely grounds encompassing meadows, orchard, a bubbling stream and pond (unfenced, so toddlers beware!). Chesil Beach is a great favourite for beach casting. Bere Farm is home to a handful of wild animals and also attracts abundant wildlife such as barn owls and kingfishers.
The locality has a wonderful array of visitor attractions and places of interest – Abbotsbury Swannery is within easy driving distance as are Montacute House and Barrington Court (both NT). The West Dorset Heritage (Jurassic) Coast lies 10 miles away, offering superb walking with breathtaking views as well as opportunities for fossil hunting. Coastal towns and villages invite exploration – pretty Lyme Regis with its famous Cobb, Charmouth, Chiddeock, Eype and Bridport with its lively street market. And in nearby Devon, Branscombe, Beer and Sidmouth’s Regency promenade are well worth a visit.
Local produce can be sourced at great farm shops and farmers’ markets and there are many fine pubs and restaurants to choose from – the establishments of celebrity chefs Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Mark Hix, Mat Follas and Phil Vickery are particularly popular.
