Self Catering in Dorset - Chideock

This attractive converted barn is in a peaceful location and sleeps up to eight people in three bedrooms

West Perry Hay is in a peaceful location surrounded by countryside on the edge of the village of North Chideock. Adjacent to a working farm with pigs, cows, sheep and goats, the friendly owners are happy to show you around and introduce you to the animals - wellies essential! The whole house feels spacious, stylish and thoroughly well done. The generous lounge is comfortable and to one end has a multi-games table which can be used for pool, table tennis or table hockey - perfect for those not so sunny days.

The enormous kitchen has plenty of space for the entire family to eat and be together around a farmhouse table, or if you prefer, eat in the more formal dining room. On the first floor, three pretty bedrooms share two bathrooms. Nearby is the National Trust's Golden Cap, featuring spectacular ?Jurassic Coast? scenery and the bustling market town of Bridport.

Slightly further afield are the seaside town of West Bay, backdrop to TV's Broadchurch and Lyme Regis home to the iconic cob, where budding fossil hunters can hone their craft.
