It has been beautifully and lovingly restored, providing ample accommodation for 8 (with the option of another two) people who wish for breathtaking surroundings; offering peaceful, relaxing comfort with touches of elegance. With flint stone walls, exposed wooden beams, antique chandeliers, the house is decorated traditionally and has all modern appliances and an amply stocked kitchen. It offers a truly wonderful setting from which to explore nature or simply relax by the fire, with some rooms offering distant sea views. There are two bedrooms with king sized beds and ensuite bathrooms and two other double bedrooms with access to the main bathroom. One of the bedrooms has its own lounge area (with sofabed) with the sleeping area on the mezzanine level above. Guests have access to the surrounding countryside and the half mile stretch of private beach perfectly fulfilling those with a sense of adventure as access to the beach is via a steep (but safe) cliff top path. Rousdon is just a few miles from 'the pearl of Dorset' Lyme Regis renowned for its fossil hunters treasure trove and famous for its Cobb, setting for the opening scene of The French Lieutenants Woman and close to Axminster home of River Cottage. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 3.5 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV - Stereo - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Area rugs in public areas - Cobblestone flooring in public areas - Hardwood flooring in public areas - No elevator - Tile flooring in public areas - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (limited availability) - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property;
