About this property
Attractive former stables located on beautiful Victorian private country estate
Set in a beautiful Victorian private country estate of 350 acres of farmland, parkland and woodland on the Dorset/Devon border, the house is situated in a courtyard terrace and was once part of the stable block of the Home Farm near to the main mansion. Enjoy a peaceful and relaxing break - stroll along tree lined walks, take the path down to the estate's private beach or discover the South West Coastal foot path which runs through the grounds. Perfect for 4 -legged friends too! The Rousdon Estate is a 5 minute drive from Lyme Regis (home to the famous Cobb and some lovely beaches) and only 10 minutes from Axminster where the River Cottage Canteen can be found. In fact, it's a perfect spot for exploring all along the Jurassic coast - from looking for fossils at Charmouth and visiting the Swannery at Abbotsbury to the quietly dignified Regency town of Sidmouth and quaint fishing village of Beer. The house itself offers all home comforts and is equipped to a very high standard. With four bedrooms (1 king, 2 doubles and a bunk room for 2 only appropriate for children) Two en-suite shower rooms, a family bathroom with bath and a downstairs cloakroom ensure you can be up and out quickly to enjoy your day. Outside there is a 50 foot garden lined with shrubs affording a great deal of privacy and a terrace for al fresco dining and barbecuing. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find somewhere suitable and welcoming for faithful companions and a maximum of 2 dogs are welcome at Home Farm North.

Absolutely beautiful location, house is definitely a home from home. Very well stocked kitchen, plenty of utensils, crockery, cutlery. Lovely garden for my 2 year old grandson, very safe and secure. Parking rules ensure you can always pull up outside the property. Would we stay here again? Absolutely!
We had an great time with friends in this wonderful house. The kitchen is really well furnished with anything we could need and the living area large enough for all 8 of us. Thanks for a lovely stay
Our family has been coming to this property for a few years now and always look forward to returning. The layout of the rooms is just right for family togetherness.The estate is very peaceful and close to holiday centres like Lyme Regis and Seaton.
Such a beautiful building inside and out. The estate was fabulous and we really appreciated the privilege of a private beach with a fantastic walk to it that inspired the imagination (able to clamber and balance essential) We even found a few fossils there.
Access was easy. Lovely spaces in the house (large lounge / kitchen / bedrooms). We had a great stay and enjoyed the local towns of Lyme Regis and Seaton. Would happily recomend to others.
Good property for family gatherings. Plenty of space for everyone to be together. Lovely walks nearby - along South Coast path and to the private beach.
Homely, spacious, clean home from home in an amazing setting. Private Beach on the estate amazing, a bit of a trek but well worth it. Would definitely book again.

Beautiful period property
We really enjoyed our three night stay and would loved to have stayed longer.
Tastefully furnished and decorated to a high standard and kitchen very very well equipped!!
Thank you Gill for a memorable stay
Sadly weather not great, but beautiful house. It had everything you need. The beach we only found on the last day, it was a bit of a trek, but worth it .
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Rousdon Estates. Lovely property, immaculately clean and well stocked, including a lovely welcome basket. Beautiful walks, quiet and peaceful!! Highly recommend.
Quiet & beautiful location on private estate surrounded by trees . Pleasant walks around estate & connects to South Coast Walk. House is spacious and well equipped. Whole family loved the time spent here.
Lovely location for exploring the Jurassic cost. The private estate was really special and perfect for the early morning at late evening dog walks. Getting to the private beach was an adventure but not an easy trek that one would want to do regularly. The property is well laid out for a social blue family gathering. The large kitchen was well equipped making it easy for everyone one to get involved. On fine days the south facing enclosed garden provided a welcome space to share an outside meal and drinks. Overall it is a real gem of a place.
It was our 2nd time at this house, myself and the wife, my two sister’s and the brother in-law and it won’t be the last, as soon as you walk through the door you feel you are at home, not in a holiday let, the house has everything you need for a self catering holiday, and the Rousdon Estate is so peaceful you cannot help but relax, and the welcome package was a nice gesture and much appreciated. We very much look forward to our next week at this house, once we have worked out our date’s we will be booking our stay again, and sally couldn’t of been more helpful in answering questions that I asked prior to us arriving. And to that sally I thank you for a wonderful week’s holiday.
Just loved this property, it has everything you need and more., including dog treats! So much thought has gone into the decor and the little items around the house.
The garden is a good size and safe for both small children and pets.
Rousdon estate is quite surreal and a little oasis with lovely walks. The walk to the beach is a real challenge though and certainly not for the frail or taint hearted! Worth the trek when you get there but then you have to consider the walk/climb back!
Lots of beautiful beaches nearby, most of Dorset isn’t known for sandy beaches so be prepared for pebbles and shingle.
We all loved this beautiful house, definitely the best self catering property we have ever stayed in.
This was the 3rd time we have stayed as a family at Home Farm, and we enjoyed it as always. The layout provides communal family time, so while the family chefs are preparing the meals, the remaining members can enjoy a galls of wine. Or two. No doubt we will be back.
A delightful, light, spacious and airy house set in a beautiful landscaped private estate full of character. Tastefully decorated, especially for Christmas. It was well maintained and equipped for the size including consideration for dogs. We all enjoyed a house with plenty of comforts - sofas & beds.
