About this property
From family to friends, canines to children, everyone is welcome at this glorious manor house steeped in history and fabulously located for both adventure and precious down time. Sleeping 24 across 11 gorgeous bedrooms, there is space for everyone to relax and unwind both inside and out. Marvel at the spectacular beauty of the Jurassic Coast where sand, sea and surf lie just 16.5 miles from your door; create magical memories to last a lifetime in this peaceful yet dramatic corner of the South West.
The characterful stone exterior of this manor house is the perfect welcome and entices you inside. With plenty of space for cars at the front of the property, unload bags to the entrance hall with ease where grandeur and style complements the rich interior. For a moment of peace and quiet, introduce younger guests to the children's lounge where a TV/DVD promises to provide entertainment. Light the wood burner in the drawing room and make the most of the many sofas by getting everyone together for a relaxing evening; plan tomorrow's adventures or reminisce in this cosy room. Though every night spending quality time together is special, for extra special nights make use of the elegant sophisticated banquet dining room. Experiment with flavours and plate up in this exquisite room as you fill the air with laughter and chatter. For less formal occasions, the kitchen is a great spot for dining together at the breakfast bar; with access to the butler's pantry and a larder, rustle up something tasty for all to devour in this light bright space. When the days and evenings are warm and the sun lingers until late, dine alfresco on the fantastic terrace and breathe in the fresh countryside air. The attention to detail continues outside from the shallow rill (take care) to the wisteria-lined pergola walk to the croquet lawn. Savour a quiet moment or get the party together for an afternoon of fun in the games room before exploring some of the 2500 acres of farmland surrounding you. Rest heads in the charming bedrooms, one of which is on the ground floor and wake rejuvenated and ready for the day ahead.
