The Store at Wellhayes - Self-catering annexe in Dorset
Wellhayes,
Harcombe, Lyme Regis, DT7 3RN, Dorset
England,
Reino Unido
In summer you’ll be out on the terrace lounger or swinging in the lakeside hammock – the brave can plunge into the fresh water when they want to cool off and there's a little rowing boat for pottering around in. Light the fire and feel cosy even when the weather is doing its worst – it’ll be dramatic viewing through the big windows.
James’ clever design and handiwork make this small space very liveable. It’s just a few steps from the king-sized bed, through French windows onto the private terrace, and the kitchen is well equipped. Dip into the welcome hamper of local eggs, bread, fruit and a good bottle of French wine from the nearby farmshop.
There are excellent markets and restaurants specialising in fish and other fresh local food in Lyme, Bridport, West Bay and Axminster. You could be out all day: foraging, walking, cycling, but do take time to listen and watch for woodpeckers, roe deer, owls…

Local points of interest from James Verner:
Puntos de interés sobre la región de
James Verner:
- A great place to stock up with local seasonal produce is Miller’s Farm Shop, four and a half miles to the west on the A35, where one can also find incredible cheese and charcuterie and French wine (the owners visit France every week).
- Wellhayes is the perfect place to take advantage of beautiful walking and cycling. The owners have lived in the area all their lives and can advise on some fantastic routes both on and off road.
- Dog owners can take advantage of a short circular route around the valley in the morning or something altogether more ambitious.
- Throughout the year, the area hosts some world class cultural events: The Bridport Literary Festival, Dorset Art Weeks, Devon and Somerset Open Studios. As a centre of the organic farming movement, food events feature prominently on the annual calendar.
- All the year ‘round, important gardens and homes are open to visitors, from Margery Fish’s garden at East Lambrook Manor, to Forde Abbey House and Gardens; a week wouldn’t be long enough to visit them all!
- Whatever you plan to do during your stay, whether it's paragliding or cycling, to it’s well worth contacting James to see what’s going on or what he recommends.
