This property has a security deposit of £200. . This comfortable and welcoming, thatched, detached former farmhouse dates back to 1750, and has many features such as beams, low lintels and sloping floors. The main house has two living rooms and a dining room which seats up to 18. There is also an indoor swimming pool and a games room, making it ideal for family gatherings and celebrations. The old creamery, located in a separate building next to the main house, has been converted into an annexe with an additional two en-suite bedrooms, and still has the exposed stone walls and floors! From the farmhouse gardens there are far-reaching views over countryside and rolling hills and it is conveniently located for trips to Lyme Regis, West Bay and Bridport. There is a local bus service for those wishing to explore the area without using the car. Park Farmhouse is located on the coast road in the heart of the charming historic village of Chideock with a pub and restaurant a couple of doors away. Julia Bradbury’s ‘Best Walks With A View’ includes a walk which encircles Park Farmhouse. A popular farm shop is about a mile away with outside seating with glorious views over the National Trust land and the famous Golden Cap which is the highest point on the south coast!

Steeped in history, Chideock was recorded in the Domesday Book as Cidihoc. In 1379-80, John de Chideock, a manorial lord, built Chideock Castle, just north of the village. During the Middle Ages, ownership passed to the Catholic Arundell family, who used it to provide refuge for priests and loyal followers during subsequent persecution. In 1802 the Arundells were succeeded by the Weld family of Lulworth Castle who in 1810, built Chideock Manor. Park Farmhouse once served the occupants of the manor for many years with cream from the creamery.

The stunning and dramatic Jurassic Coast is a World Heritage Site covering 96 miles of coastline and is less than a mile away at Seatown. It is also known for its fossil hunting. The beaches of West Bay and Lyme Regis have a traditional feel with gift shops, tea rooms, inns and restaurants. Lyme Regis with The Cobb and harbour was the setting for the filming of The French Lieutenant’s Woman. More recently, Jane Austen’s ‘Persuasion’ and Thomas Hardy’s ‘Far from The Madding Crowd’ were both filmed here. Renowned TV chef Mark Hix has an Oyster and Fish House in Lyme Regis. There are other pretty villages such as Beer and Branscombe within easy reach or you may wish to visit the numerous stately homes and gardens in the area. You can also discover Dorset’s sandy bays, rugged hill top walks and tiny coves. Fishing is available locally. Beach ¾ mile. Shop 240 yards, pub and restaurant 50 yards.

The Farmhouse worked exceptionally well for our large family group, one of whom was celebrating her 90th birthday over the weekend. So much space and the added benefits of the heated, enclosed pool and the table tennis room. More than adequate kitchen equipment to cater for the large group.

A truly wonderful & memorable family weekend spent at Park Farmhouse! It was made all the more special & enjoyable by being very spacious, clean and well equipped, as well as having the added bonus of a beautiful garden plus private swimming pool. Also, the pub next door were particularly accommodating by providing a separate room & great Sunday lunch for 17 people! Just a shame the house wasn't a bit further back from such a busy road.. Unfortunately meant it was difficult to have front bedroom windows open at night.

Amazing house so many bedrooms, I loved the creamery.
Amazing house so many bedrooms, I loved the creamery. The Christmas tree was much appreciated for opening presents by. The children loved the pool, also all of the different living rooms, one for tv one for x-box and an adults room with no tv and the Christmas tree. There are two pubs in walking distance, we had Sunday lunch in the clock which was really good. Would stay again.

Property felt very homely and well decorated for our Christmas stay, with space for a ‘quiet’ room as well as children’s tv room. The children loved the pool and our dog loved the garden! Only issue was the bunk bed room which was not suitable for our little ones owing to the ladder up to the next room, but we managed to get round this. West bay and good pubs within walking distance. 21/12/19-28/12/19

Very spacious, comfortable and well equipped accommodation. Although on a busy main road, once in the garden behind, this is not an issue. The swimming pool was a big hit and there is something for everyone. A pretty short walk to the beach.

On arrival we were welcomed by the owners who showed us around and explained everything we needed to know. There were plenty of thoughtful touches to make the house a home from home. The farmhouse was warm, clean, comfortable, very well equipped and spacious for our group of 15 and was full of character. The pool was excellent and well used but it was a shame the weather was too chilly to make use of the lovely garden. We hope to return for another enjoyable long weekend.

On a very busy main road especially at the weekend. It did not bother us but we have a small dog that barked rather a lot at the noise of the traffic. Everything else was PERFECT. Lovely welcome pack which included a home made Dorset apple cake. Never before stayed in such a well equipped house. Would not hesitate to stay here again.

Great family break to celebrate a special birthday.
Great family break to celebrate a special birthday. The house had everything we needed, it was clean and comfortable. The owners had supplied tea, coffee and homemade cake and more - including fresh flowers in the rooms - which was a welcome touch. It's a shame it is situated on edge of the busy main road.
