A view of the front of Manor Farm Lodge. Pull in through the Grade II listed pillars. This wonderful lodge lies right on the Somerset/Dorset border.
This is the fully enclosed, partially walled garden. A lovely sheltered and totally private spot for a picnic or morning coffee and a treat from the farm shop.
The truly comfortable sitting-room with its wood burning stove is at the heart of this lovingly presented cottage.
The Manor House gardens are a delight and all guests are warmly welcomed to explore. They include the tennis court and the barbecue barn which are for you to enjoy too.
A scenic 30 minute drive will take you to the Jurassic Coast.
All the wonderful details in the Lodge celebrate local artists, craftspeople and nature.
There is a separate dining-room and on arrival there are treats that will make you feel so very welcome here.
The extremely well equipped kitchen looks out over the side garden and to the field beyond.
In keeping with the history of the cottage there is a pantry to keep food fresh - bought from the farm shop just across the road.
The dining-room has a lovely dresser, perfect furniture for this lovely room.
This is the side garden where you can catch the evening sun and which looks across a beautiful meadow complete with occupants Scrappy - pictured - and Pickwick the tame sheep.
The outside details within the garden setting reflect the period of the Lodge.
This is the double bedroom on the first floor. There is a feature Victorian fireplace.
Snuggle up in the evening under quality linen in an antique brass bed.
The twin bedroom can also be made up with just one single bed if you wish.
The twin beds can be made into a king-size bed but please do let the owner know ahead of your arrival so that this can be done for you.
The bathroom is downstairs and has a pretty colour scheme and is a warm and cosy room.
Enjoy the work of local artists and potters that has its place in this special property

A truly rural lifestyle
Lyme Regis - with the famous Cob Harbour - is a wonderful nearby coastal town.
South Somerset is fortunate to have many historically important houses, such as Montacute, within close driving distance.
Many of the products stocked at the Farm Shop are produced locally. The Apple Orchards at North Perrott produce the famous apple juice.
The Jurassic Coast and World Heritage Site is an easy drive from the cottage through beautiful scenery.
Additional outside seating, barbecue and loungers are stored in the garden shed.
North Perrott cricket club is a short stroll down the lane. Enjoy a real 'English' summer's day watching the match and drinking a beer from the bar facilities.
A view of Glastonbury Tor. The south Somerset countryside is beautifully unspoilt.
This is the view from the iron age hill Fort at Ham Hill. This special geological site is the source of the beautiful stone of the period buildings through this area.
A holiday here gives you a taste of a truly rural lifestyle.

The period cottage has a cosy feel , with original features such as the windows which are listed . We were greeted with tea and cake on arrival and classical music which was a nice touch, and bacon ,pressed apple juice, delicious tea and eggs are provided . We used the tennis courts, played scrabble and you're allowed to wander around the ample gardens which are beautifully kept. There is a very handy farm shop very nearby. The pear juice is delicious ! The location is superb- I highly recommend visiting West Bay and Lyme Regis , beautiful countryside enroute too, only 30 minutes away ! Sherborne is also worth a visit . ...

We really enjoyed staying in the cottage. It is charming with many period features, very cosy and well equipped, and owner Judith was the perfect host. The only negative aspect was the lack of wifi. We thought we’d be able to rely on our mobiles but O2 coverage was virtually non existent in the house (only at the kitchen window or outside in the garden) and it made planning days out a real pain. We mentioned this to Judith and she said broadband locally is very slow but we’d urge her to install it as it’s better than nothing. Only other things to bear in mind is that the garden isn’t completely enclosed as our terrier escaped (Judith is aware and said she’d fix it) and the car parking area is largely surrounded by trees so park carefully otherwise your car will be covered in leaves and bird mess like ours was!...

The presentation, character and surroundings of The Lodge were exceptional. A generous welcome pack was a small detail, but set the tone for the rest of the week. Everyone we met was welcoming. There were many local events and much to see in stunning countryside....

The property was excellent, clean and very well equipped and comfortable. It was well located, with lots of good dog walks in the area and the farm shop close by was well stocked with most things. Lovely relaxing holiday , would definitely book again...
