10 The Gardens

About this property

10 The Gardens is a spacious and inviting holiday cottage set within the prestigious Rousdon Estate near Lyme Regis, offering a harmonious blend of coastal scenery, rural serenity, and modern comfort. Surrounded by 350 acres of private parkland, this historic estate is a sanctuary of natural beauty, featuring expansive lawns, wooded trails, and a private footpath that leads to the dramatic Jurassic Coast and the secluded beach at Charton Bay. Ideal for families or groups of friends this thoughtfully designed home is perfect for relaxed, sociable stays. The heart of the house is a generous open-plan lounge and dining area, where large patio doors open onto a south-facing garden.

This enclosed outdoor space, complete with a lawn and patio seating, is perfect for soaking up the sun or enjoying al fresco meals as the day winds down. The kitchen is bright and well-equipped, with a breakfast area ideal for casual dining, and a separate utility room offering laundry facilities for added convenience. Relax in the living/dining room after a successful day of adventure and toast your well-trekked toes by the glow of a woodburning stove. Upstairs, the cottage features four tastefully furnished bedrooms: two king-sized rooms (one with an en-suite shower room), a twin, and a single. The front-facing rooms enjoy lovely sea views, adding a special touch to your stay.

A family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms, while on the ground floor, a further bedroom with a small double bed offers flexible sleeping options, comfortably accommodating up to eight guests. The surrounding area offers a wealth of attractions. Just a short drive away, Lyme Regis awaits with its sandy beaches, fossil-rich cliffs, and the iconic Cobb Harbour. Wander along the promenade, browse the town’s independent shops, or visit the Lyme Regis Museum and Marine Aquarium. Nearby Seaton is home to the charming Seaton Tramway and the award-winning Seaton Wetlands - perfect for nature walks and birdwatching. Dining options are plentiful. Enjoy fresh seafood at Rockfish, relaxed seaside fare at Swim, or a hearty meal at The Pilot Boat.

For a special occasion, River Cottage HQ offers a memorable farm-to-table experience just a short drive from the estate.

Whether you're exploring the Jurassic Coast, fossil hunting on the beach, or simply unwinding in the peaceful surroundings of the Rousdon Estate, 10 The Gardens offers a truly memorable base for your coastal getaway.

The delightful seaside town of Lyme Regis has much to offer its visitors, boasting a maze of narrow streets filled with craft and antique shops, galleries and cafes. Take a stroll along the world-famous Cobb causeway overlooking the ancient harbour, where fishing trips can be enjoyed, or try your hand at fossil hunting in the area.
