About this property

Boasting a superb location on the historic Rousdon Estate close to Lyme Regis, is this attractive and well-presented holiday lodge, Rooks Acre which is ideal for families on holiday in the area. The open-plan sitting room welcomes its guests and is a beautiful introduction to the property. The room is light and airy with an extensive seating area, feature wood flooring, a woodburning stove and doors leading through to the conservatory allowing maximum light to flood in and creating a truly inviting space. The dining area in the conservatory is set out ready for visitors to enjoy delicious food prepared in the fully fitted country kitchen where you will find everything you need to create fabulous holiday cuisine for the whole family. When bedtime calls, there are three well-presented bedrooms and guests can choose from either of the two doubles or the single with pull-out truckle bed; all offer a chilled out space and sanctuary to guests after a hard day out holidaying. When the sun is shining in Dorset there is nowhere nicer to be so why not spend some time alfresco in the gardens, check out the sea views and soak up the rays? This is just perfect for an early morning coffee, a light lunch or a long, lingering evening meal. The tranquil setting of Rooks Acre is what sets it apart, languishing in some 350 acres of grounds of Rousdon Estate with gardens, woodlands and footpaths aplenty to explore. You can easily while away a day here wandering and discovering! There is even a (very steep!) footpath leading to a private beach. A short but scenic drive away is Lyme Regis a beautiful town with narrow streets filled with gorgeous shops and boutiques, and just outside the town there is Lyme Regis Marine Aquarium and Lyme Regis Museum, which both offer a fascinating insight into the history and the marine life of the area. Tunnel Tree Tops high ropes and zip wire near Charmouth are well worth a visit with days out to Axe Valley Wildlife Park, Pecorama, Seaton Tramway and Beer Heights Light Railway all within easy reach. Rooks Acre is set within a rural idyll and offers families an enjoyable holiday stay.

The delightful seaside town of Lyme Regis has much to offer its visitors, boasting a maze of narrow streets filled with craft and antique shops, galleries and cafes. Take a stroll along the world-famous Cobb causeway overlooking the ancient harbour, where fishing trips can be enjoyed, or try your hand at fossil hunting in the area. The scenic coastal path offers excellent walking opportunities and spectacular views of the stunning Jurassic coast, whilst the gently shelving sands and sparkling waters of Lyme Bay provide the perfect place in which to relax and unwind. A holiday destination to savour!

    Inside it was musty smelling and the central heating did not seem to work at times.We where very disappointed with this property as it is beautifully located

  • Anita

    Reading the feedback on the visitor book they don’t seem to be repairing them. We had a electric problem we couldn’t use anything but Skype sorted out for us. Also front door wouldn’t lock from inside and there was a leek under sink, it could be a lovely place but needs sorting and l thought it was quite a lot of money,l use Skype ever year never had a problem before a jasper

    Estate great for dog walks. Bungalow well equipped, but sadly beds for us were not that comfortable, sorry. Did try and get to the private beach but steps down were steep and in our view quite dangerous . If you want to really get away from the hassle and bussle this is the place for you.
