This huge 15th-century farmhouse just outside of Charmouth and Lyme Regis is perfect for a self-catering holiday. It’s a stunning, thatched-roof farmhouse, situated on the site of a mediaeval monastery. Although it boasts lots of history, the property was recently refurbished and has modern furnishings throughout.

The coast is just two miles away, so the farmhouse boasts some stunning sea views. It’s also in the perfect spot for some incredible coastal walks. There’s a shared indoor pool with a connected jacuzzi section. However, you can book private 1-hour sessions in order to have the pool all to yourself!
3. Swallow Cottage, Charmouth

Swallow Cottage is part of the same complex as the farmhouse above, and enjoys access to the same indoor pool. Again, this can be booked for private use so you don’t have to share. The cottage itself is ideal for a couple. While many of the lodges with hot tubs in Dorset are pretty big, with space for lots of guests, this cosy cottage sleeps just two people.
The property dates from 1482, so there’s a lot of history within its stone walls! Inside, the decor is a fab mix of modern and traditional, with painted stone walls and wood-beamed ceilings. There’s an open-plan kitchen-dining area, with a traditional country-style kitchen. Outside, you get your own private garden complete with patio, hardwood garden furniture and barbeque.
