Sweet Pea & Ivy

Holiday Rental Description

Set within 20 acres of unspoilt Dorset countryside, this converted farm building is the perfect rural retreat. Inside, it’s cosy and charming – we loved the soft natural colour scheme and sumptuous furnishings that guarantee relaxation. Begin your mornings at the dining table with a cooked breakfast before finishing the last of a pot of tea on your private balcony. When the sun is shining, wander around the grounds – follow the Woodland Nature Trail through open fields or enjoy a moment of stillness by the lake. Should rain threaten, head to the games room for a round of table tennis.

You’ll find your home a ten-minute drive from the surf-lashed Hive Beach. Look for fossils as you pick your way across the sand then enjoy a brisk paddle in the water. In the late afternoon, appease grumbling tummies with some proper pub grub at The Three Horseshoes in Burton Bradstock – it’s only 3.5 miles away.
