Rousdon Barn Summary

Joiners sits in 250 acres of farm and woodland of the Rousdon Estate. It is a fantastic recent conversion that blends modern comfort into the the robust grade II listed building, with deep flint walls and exposed timber beams and rafters. Lovingly created by its architect-owner, it is full of beautiful spaces and detail. Clean and comfortable, spacious and light - it is a perfect holiday for family or friends. Rousdon Estate is a peaceful rural retreat within the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site yet only a few miles from Lyme Regis with its cinema, sandy beaches, fossils, shops and restaurants. It has beautiful wooded walks, is directly on the unique undercliff coastal path and has access to its own private sandy beach. It is only a short trip to the many attractions of Dorset and Devon. It is ten minutes to the South West coastal footpath.

Car: recommended

Rousdon sits on the very borders of Dorset and Devon, on the Jurassic Coast, England's only World Heritage Site. The countryside starts to get more crumpled and rolling, the roads become arched with trees, and life becomes much calmer. Within a five mile radius there are hundreds of fantastic clifftop and country walks, cream teas galore, and a huge variety of attractions and experiences - from diggerworld to nettle eating competitions, caves to the donkey sanctuary, with fosilling at Charmouth, River Cottage at Musbury, Saturday market at Bridport, breakfast on the beach at Beer, and classic English seaside at Lyme Regis, also good for a drink and meal in the evening. There is the nightlife of Seaton and Exeter 30 mins further, beyond which lie Dartmoor's rough heath and tors. The deeply atmospheric' undercliff' coastal path runs below the Estate, the result of a vast cliff landslide, it is unique for England, and a cliff path leads down to the private sandy beach below.

Rousdon Barn Details

Children and well behaved pets are welcome. There is a dressing up box for the adventurous. Parking is outside the property. The Rousdon estate is a perfect setting for strolling and soaking in the peace of the countryside or admiring the old buildings and gatehouses of the Estate, it is perfect for children as there is minimal traffic so great for a bike ride, plenty of woods to explore sheep to visit* and pheasants* to spot. Wheelchair users - you will need a hand getting up the one step of the front door. Once inside there are no more stepped level changes on the ground floor. There is also a bedroom on the ground floor. However I would not really recommend the place to someone in a wheelchair without someone to assist here and there. smokers - obviously you may smoke to your hearts content in the garden or outside the front door, which is not altogether bad as at night its very peaceful and during the day very beautiful. not so good if its raining though.
