About this cottage rental

Middlemist is a Grade II listed, spacious corner courtyard cottage, situated adjacent to the stately mansion in the heart of Rousdon, an exclusive 350 acre private estate set atop the Devon and Dorset Jurassic coastline. It has been beautifully and lovingly restored, providing ample accommodation for 8 (with the option of another two) people who wish for breathtaking surroundings; offering peaceful, relaxing comfort with touches of elegance. With flint stone walls, exposed wooden beams, antique chandeliers, the house is decorated traditionally and has all modern appliances and an amply stocked kitchen. It offers a truly wonderful setting from which to explore nature or simply relax by the fire, with some rooms offering distant sea views.

There are two bedrooms with king sized beds and ensuite bathrooms and two other double bedrooms with access to the main bathroom. One of the bedrooms has its own lounge area (with sofabed) with the sleeping area on the mezzanine level above.

Guests have access to the surrounding countryside and the half mile stretch of private beach perfectly fulfilling those with a sense of adventure as access to the beach is via a steep (but safe) cliff top path.

Rousdon is just a few miles from 'the pearl of Dorset' Lyme Regis renowned for its fossil hunters treasure trove and famous for its Cobb, setting for the opening scene of The French Lieutenants Woman and close to Axminster home of River Cottage.

Our accommodation was in one wing of a building built around a courtyard (once the stables of the Manor house nearby. All rooms were generously proportioned & the kitchen was extremely well stocked with pans & other utensils. The main lounge opened on to green space with a table & chairs for our use. There was a second sitting room upstairs . Of the four double bedrooms, two were were on the first floor, with two others up separate flights of stairs, two were ensuite with a family bathroom serving remaining two bedrooms. There are walks for residents to enjoy around the Estate, which include access to a private beach - although the path down is steep in places & took us much longer than on-site information suggested! A beautiful setting & comfortable, spacious accommodation.
