Hip little studio + sauna in an area of outstanding natural beauty by the Jurassic Coast (sleeps 2)
Space & setting.
Lovers of vintage design will adore this cosy hideaway, set in an acre of rambling gardens a short hop from the seaside. Jacobsen, Day, Rietveld; the big names are all here. The Studio may be bijou, but it’s a seriously beautiful space, open-plan, just a kingsize bed wrapped in Egyptian cotton and sheepskins slung over a 50s-style sofa. There’s a simple kitchenette for self catering, and a private deck with a BBQ, wood-fired sauna and outdoor shower, surrounded by flowers, utterly peaceful.
For a drink or supper, stroll 5 minutes to the local pub. For Lyme Regis, it’s a 25-minute walk along a pretty riverside path to the famed Cobb harbour, shingle beach and gentle curve of Georgian houses. Be sure to visit Swim while you’re there, the coolest of beach cafés, serving fresh crab sandwiches. And don’t forget your walking boots for the dramatic Jurassic coastal path, with its hidden coves and vertiginous cliffs.
Getting here: drive or train to Lyme Regis then taxi (15 mins).
