About Old Rectory View

Old Rectory View is a spacious country lodge tucked away in rural Dorset, 7 miles northeast of West Bay. This bright, airy property offers stunning countryside views from every window and sits in peaceful surroundings where you might spot local wildlife including deer right from your bedroom.

Set down a quiet lane with an enclosed garden, this is the perfect base for exploring both Dorset and East Devon.

Wall-mounted bike racks are available for cycling enthusiasts.

Nearby you'll find Lyme Regis (20 mins), Bridport (15 mins) and the stunning Jurassic Coast. After exploring, soak your tired bones in the private Lay-z-spa hot tub. Nothing beats a glass of wine while bubbling away under the stars!

Old Rectory View delivers space, comfort and quality. The crisp bed linens, thoughtful touches (fresh eggs from the owners' chickens!) and that bloody fantastic hot tub make this a proper grown-up getaway.

We had a wonderful time staying at Old Rectory View. It was like a home from home. We were initially worried about being in the middle of nowhere, but we were surprised at how quickly we adapted to the peace and tranquil surroundings. It is situated in an ideal place, not far from the beaches. We didn't have to drive more than 45 mins to see all th e sights. The house is beautiful and the children loved the garden, hot tub and the dogs (Barley and Waffle) that live next door.

Everything was quality and the beds really comfortable. Owners were super friendly and helpful. We also loved the welcome package of home made cake and freshly laid eggs. We hope to return soon.

Beautiful, light and airy accommodation with plenty of space for a family. Has the benefit of feeling like you are away from it all, hidden in the countryside but you are no more than 15 minutes from stunning beaches and idyllic towns. Very welcoming and accommodating owners with a lovely presented cottage.

Chris

Lovely rural location. Very quiet and relaxing place to stay which makes a good spot to drive out to many attractions in Dorset and the surrounding area. The house was extremely nice, very clean and spacious. Had all the equipment you would need for a "home away from home". Very nice touches from the very welcoming and friendly owners, such as a lo vely welcome pack including some excellent Rocky Road brownies and home grown vegetables!

Sarah

We had the absolute best time here! This holiday accommodation is some of the most spacious and well equipped we have ever stayed in. Beautiful views, amazingly peaceful and our boys loved the hot tub, they used it every day. Whilst local attractions are not on your doorstep everything is easily reachable by car in under 30 minutes and we spent lot s of time in West Bay, Lime Regis and Charmouth. Highly recommend this lovely place and it's hosts.

Andy

Wonderful place to stay in a beautiful location close to Dorchester and coast. Private gardens were delightful as were the brownies on arrival. Big thanks to Dom and Pomme for their hospitality. Highly recommended.

Eileen

Much larger property than appears on the website photos. Very comfortable. Excellent beds, quality bedding and towels. Nice touch providing separate towels for the spa tub. Pomme and Dom discreet hosts. A lovely welcome pack on arrival. Well equipped kitchen. Property well looked after and clean. Property is 'off the beaten track' on single track r oads but not busy, so easy to get to and you do get used to it very quickly. Very close to West Bay and Dorchester not too far.

Stephen

Arrived back home yesterday afternoon after a weeks stay - from the minute going up the drive we thought this looks special and it didn't change when entering the door Immaculately presented with excellent taste in furnishings and decor- the views from almost every window was priceless of the surrounding Dorset countryside. Having spent a lot of ti me travelling around the south and south west in view of the current travel madness I have no qualms in saying I think Dorset country side wins out

Walter Ian

Wonderful place Wonderful people/hosts

This was a lovely clean and comfortable property in a very quiet and remote location. It is a little way to travel from the main road but once you have found it, it is easy enough. Beautiful surroundings and friendly owners. The cottage has everything you need and is large and spacious. A welcome treat was very thoughtful and the hot tub is an adde d bonus. Highly recommended.
