Escape your everyday routine and embrace traditional country style at this family farmhouse. Nestled amid two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the Devon/Dorset border, explore both coast and countryside and leave the car behind as you follow the winding River Lim towards Lyme Regis (2 miles). After adventurous days, cosy up by the wood burner or dine in the pretty courtyard. Arrive at this wing of an early Georgian farmhouse and bask in the charm and character after stone steps lead you inside. Exposed beams line the ceiling and a traditional inglenook fireplace houses a warming wood burner so you can spend cosy evenings listening to the crackle of logs and watching dancing flames. Pile the coffee table high with treats and enjoy quiet film nights or make the most of sunny evenings and tuck into BBQ feasts in the enclosed courtyard where little ones can play to their heart’s content. After a relaxing soak in the bath, climb the steep, cottage-style stairs to hit the pillow in one of three tranquil bedrooms – take care of sloping ceilings in the master double. After a morning coffee in the country-style kitchen/diner, say good morning to the owner’s ponies before heading out to explore. From your rural location amid the trees and hills of the countryside, walk the riverside to Lyme Regis where sand, sea and a wealth of eateries and attractions await. Tuck into fresh seafood, tread the South West Coast Path and visit the historic Cobb harbour before treating little ones to a trip to the aquarium. Across the border in Devon, Seaton (8 miles) is a great destination for a family-friendly day trip and the popular Seaton Tramway is a hit with guests of all ages.
