About this house rental
Situated on the beautiful Rousdon Estate, just a few miles from Lyme Regis, the Stable Courtyard offers a spacious, family friendly home for the perfect West Country holiday. The Estate was built in the 1870s for the Peake family in the Arts and Crafts style, and is now an exclusive development of individual dwellings in 160 acres of leafy private grounds.
The estate offers access to its own private beach and also access to the famous Undercliff and coast path into Lyme Regis.
The space
This 3 bedroomed property forms part of the former stable yard quadrangle which now has a central fountain and flower bed. The property had many period features and has been sympathetically styled in keeping with its Victorian heritage.
The spacious main living room has an original fireplace, 3 comfortable sofas and a large table and chairs for dining.
The airy kitchen is well equipped with dishwasher, washer dryer, microwave, oven, hob, fridge freezer, and cooking equipment. It has an additional dining area.
Upstairs the main bedroom has a double bed and en suite shower room with lovely views over the estate.
The pretty twin room with an original tiled fire place has plenty of storage space and a cot.
The pretty third bedroom has a single bed and look across the estate.
The main bathroom has a bath with shower.
Although the Stable Courtyard does not have its own garden this is more than made up for by the extensive private estate grounds. There are many private footpaths and tracks which are only useable by estate residents and guests, and for the more adventurous the private beach at Charlton Bay can be reached on foot.

Great location for a family holiday in Devon/for visiting western Dorset. We had a great stay, plenty of space and the kitchen had everything we needed for our group of 5. Bathrooms were nice and modern and clean. We made it down to the estate's private beach access which has a lovely view- a lot of maintenance has gone on recently to keep the path open. A nicely different place to stay with plenty of parking.

We had a wonderful stay at Rosemary’s property in Lyme Regis. The estate grounds are beautiful and very well kept, with charming historic architecture, lovely greenery, and peaceful walks with glimpses of the sea. The property was exactly as described, the amenities were all as listed, and parking was easy and convenient. Rosemary was communicative throughout and responded quickly to any questions. Overall, a very enjoyable stay and we would happily recommend it to others.
