Symondsbury Manor, a breathtaking grade II listed Tudor manor house near Bridport, offers self-catering accommodation that blends historic charm with modern luxury. The property sits within walled grounds spanning approximately two acres, featuring expansive lawns, intricate rockeries, flourishing flower gardens, and a picturesque orchard. Just a two-minute stroll from the manor is the quaint village of Symondsbury, home to a thatched pub, grocery shop, and café, while the majestic Dorset Jurassic coast, with its cliff top walks and sandy beaches, is only a mile away.
The manor itself accommodates up to 22 guests, providing an idyllic setting for a memorable getaway. The interior decor includes a mix of modern and traditional furnishings, creating a relaxed, informal atmosphere ideal for weekend house parties. The walls of the manor are adorned with a variety of paintings, both contemporary and traditional, collected over the years by the owner, who is an accomplished painter.
