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.
