Stradling the border between Devon and Dorset on over five acres of woodland, this stately and delightfully quirky home can thank the secluded location for the beautiful countryside views. Between the untamed garden and on-site meadows, you'll find a tiered deck with a sauna, hot tub and ample seating. Even further along is a natural pool for warmer days. If you'd prefer a day at the beach, Lyme Regis lies only a few minutes away. And exploring the Jurassic Coast is a must, Durdle Door especially – it's a little over an hour but well worth the trip.

Home truths:
*While all of the bedrooms and bathrooms aren’t photographed, we expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*This is a lived-in home. You should expect some of the host's personal belongings to be present during your stay.
*We suggest hiring a car for ease – there's parking available here.
*The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
*As there are stairs to climb here, it might not be the best option for those with reduced mobility.
*The kitchen has been renovated since the photoshoot.
