The house

About Symondsbury Manor

Behind Symondsbury Manor’s mellow stone walls and mullioned windows lies a surprising discovery: a fresh, creative interior full of colour and playful charm. The atmosphere of this special place always makes for a great house party.

Up to 22 friends and family can spread across 11 bedrooms, sleeping in plump beds under white linen. Light streams into the huge open-plan living space where everyone can gather comfortably together to eat, drink and generally celebrate. While Symondsbury Manor is self-catering, private chefs can be arranged to make your stay extra special. Please enquire for local recommendations.

Throughout the house, there are interesting pictures, books, vintage furniture and hand printed wallpapers at every turn. Wi-Fi is available throughout the house but can be patchy due to the old thick walls! Outside, there’s a couple of acres or more of gardens and orchard to explore, with chandeliers in trees and a croquet set to unpack. Beyond the old stone garden walls is the picture perfect thatched village of Symondsbury, with welcoming pub, shop and café.

The drive can accommodate up to 8 cars although more free parking is available within the village which is just a short walk from the manor.

Travel just a mile and you meet the sea. Along this stretch of the Dorset Jurassic coast, there are spectacular walks along cliff tops and beaches, plus fossil hunting too. A mile in the other direction takes you to bustling Bridport, famed for its street market of antiques, artisanal craft and local produce. The location of this magical house could not be more perfect.

Why it works for groups

“Nestled in the heart of Dorset, Symondsbury Manor is the ultimate retreat for large gatherings, comfortably hosting up to 22 guests across 11 unique bedrooms. With stunning countryside, coastal walks, and vibrant local pubs, it’s perfect for reunions, celebrations, and corporate escapes.”

Symondsbury Manor: common questions

Details specific to this property, answered before you enquire.

How many people does Symondsbury Manor sleep?

Symondsbury Manor sleeps 11 to 22 guests across 11 bedrooms. Your booking is for your group only — the listing confirms exactly what is included, and whole-property exclusive use can be confirmed with the owner when you enquire.

Where is Symondsbury Manor?

Symondsbury Manor is in Symondsbury, Dorset. You can see the surrounding area, and what there is to do nearby, further down this page.

There are 11 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Ask the owner for the room-by-room configuration when you enquire so you know exactly how the sleeping arrangements work for your group.

Can everyone eat together at Symondsbury Manor?

Yes — the dining area seats 22, so a full group can sit down together. That matters for a group booking, because a house that sleeps a large party but cannot seat it together tends to split the group at mealtimes.

What are the check-in and check-out times at Symondsbury Manor?

Is Symondsbury Manor dog friendly?

Yes, Symondsbury Manor welcomes dogs. Confirm numbers and any additional cleaning charge with the owner when you enquire.

Is there parking at Symondsbury Manor?

Yes — there is parking for approximately 8 cars on site. Worth knowing for a large group, where several cars usually arrive separately.
