Seize a unique opportunity and book a stay in this stunning converted pump house on the Somerset/Dorset border, close to the dramatic beaches and clifftop walks of the Jurassic Coast. This exceptional, detached property recently celebrated being 100 years old. Set in its own private meadow, The Pump House is not overlooked by anyone and has wonderful birds and wildlife to spot from your private terrace.
Perfect for couples, this idyllic retreat has double doors into the light-filled open plan ground floor, with its sandstone flagstones, welcoming wood-burner and high quality furnishings. French windows at the far end open out onto the terrace, beneath a lovely pergola and to the meadow beyond.
A bespoke spiral staircase leads up to the oak-floored, galleried bedroom and bathroom. Three dogs are welcome here and there are walks on the doorstep as well as a beautiful, hedged garden dedicated just for you. There is even a secure bike shed for you to use. Guests also have an open invitation to enjoy the delightful gardens of the original manor house and to use the shared tennis court, (available from 1 April to 1 October). The local pub and a farm shop (with cafe) both offer free WiFi and are only a short stroll along the lane into the village.
