Description of the home we are offering for exchange
This holiday house is situated within walking distance of the magnificent Jurassic coast, near Lyme Regis on the Dorset / Devon border. Lyme Regis and its Cobb were made famous by the novel "The French Lieutenant's Woman" which was later filmed with Meryl Streep. More recently the beautiful seaside locations featured in the detective series BROADCHURCH, (which is in fact West Bay). Lyme is both pretty and a wonderful place for people of all ages to start exploring. There are magnificent walks both inland and along the coast, where visitors come from all over the world to find fossils.
The house is situated in beautiful grounds with woods and lakes, from where you can walk to the beach, visit pubs and tea shops and sample restaurants and cafes for all tastes and appetites. There is an outdoor heated swimming pool in the grounds. The Dorset-/Devon border is a perfect base from which to explore further afield, places such as Sidmouth, Weymouth and Swanage. As such, most seaside hobbies and activities are available and our cottage is a great place from which to explore Thomas Hardy country.
