About this property

Clayhanger Lodge is a spacious, converted detached barn

Clayhanger Lodge is a spacious, converted detached barn which offers spectacular views of the surrounding Dorset countryside and the sea beyond. This excellent, light filled property has been furnished with a mix of traditional and contemporary styling and comfortably accommodates up to six guests with three large en-suite bedrooms all equipped with televisions.
There is an open-plan split-level kitchen; sitting room and dining area; and the fully equipped tiled kitchen has a range cooker, an American style fridge-freezer with filtered water and an ice-maker. Additionally there is a dishwasher, washer/dryer and a microwave. The expansive sitting area is bright with a wooden floor and original beams adding character to this smart property. Comfortable sofas invite you to sit down and relax in front of a 43″ smart television and bluetooth speaker, and the large dining table is perfectly positioned for enjoying the delightful views through large glass doors which sit on both sides of the living space. There is a convenient ground floor cloakroom and an additional boot room too.

The three generous en-suite bedrooms all have wonderful views, with two providing super-king size beds. The third bedroom is a twin with zip and link beds that can be made into a super-king bed upon request. Egyptian cotton bed sheets, goose feather and down duvets and pillows are provided for an added touch of luxury.

The property has a private raised garden terrace with teak dining furniture and during the Summer months a charcoal barbecue is provided for guests.

Additional Information

Two well behaved dogs welcome (small additional charge).
Highchair available on request.
From the end of October to Easter, the garden furniture will be removed from the property due to the severity of the weather in Abbotsbury.

8/10 Good

Fantastic location
The property is situated in a lovely location with great views and so peaceful. Overall we were very happy, however there were a few things that could be improved, eg instructions on how to control the heating in the bedrooms, the provision of some toiletries and some basic kitchen equipment, eg oven gloves, tea towels, etc. These issues were quite minor in the great scheme of things, but their absence proved an inconvenience.

Our Favourite Holiday Hideaway
Clayhanger Lodge is a well equipped hideaway set in a quiet location with stunning views. The accommodation is spacious and comfortable. with ample parking and within easy reach of beaches and good pubs and restaurants. We love it ,this has been our third visit and we have booked for next year.. The only draw back being there are no walk-in showers

8/10 Good

Stunning Location
A wonderful location with stunning views and sunsets. Great base from which to explore Dorset. Lovely seating areas outside with easy access to public footpaths. The kids loved the garden - lots of space for games. Spacious interior and perfectly set up, however.... I was dismayed to read so many reviews that mentioned the poor state of the sofas as far back as 2018 - the problem is still there and really does need sorting when paying in excess of £2000 for a week. The lounge rug was also in desperate need of a clean. We would love to go back, a wonderful holiday and perfect location - shame about the lounge area.
