If you’re ready to explore on two wheels, bring along your bicycles and stow them safely in the shed tucked away at the bottom of the garden. Just a short drive away, is the captivating beauty of Mapperton House, a sandstone manor located deep in the Dorset countryside and wildlands that span over 50 acres.

For a more casual yet equally satisfying option, saunter over to The Greyhound Inn, a traditional pub famous for its real ales and comforting fare. Take a short trip to West Bay, where you can stroll along the sandy shores of West Bay Beach and admire the stunning cliffs that frame this picturesque coastline. For family-friendly fun, don’t miss Wynn's Funfair, offering an array of amusements for all ages.
