By a lake, enclosed by woodland - a contemporary house and barn, full of handmade furniture – laze in a hammock, walk the Jurassic Coast

Read guest comments

Folk with a yen for a country escape close to the coast, and a taste for James Verner's modern rustic design style will love the Wellhouse and next door Wellhayes Barn.

Light pours through tall windows into the house’s striking open-plan living space, with massive wood-burner. James’ furniture, and interesting art are dotted about. The barn is just as bright and lovely, with a wheelchair-friendly downstairs bedroom, an open-plan living area and an upstairs bedroom with long green views and wood-burner.

Both kitchens have all you need; catering can be arranged if you come as a group and there are excellent restaurants and markets nearby in Lyme Regis, Bridport and Axminster. Take a boat on, or a plunge into, the lake.  Wander the woods with red kites overhead; walk to Lyme Regis in under an hour.

James Verner:

  • The area is well provided for with restaurants: Hix Oyster and Fish House (Lyme Regis)The Bull Hotel (Bridport)The River cottage Canteen (Axminster)The Seaside Boarding House (Burton Bradstock)
  • Wellhayes provides a great place from which to explore the world heritage site of the Jurassic Coast with first class sailing and water sports, mountain and road biking as well as walking merely a stone’s through from the front door.
  • Numerous footpaths and bridleways connect to the house to enable one to walk or cycle into the surrounding countryside, Lyme Regis and the Jurassic Coast.
  • Lyme Regis abounds with cafes, galleries and wonderful pubs not to mention the landmark Cobb and its sandy beach which gives fun in buckets and spades! Try fish and chips on the Cobb, or oysters and fizz at Hix.
  • Take trip to the wide streets of Bridport for its vibrant open air market (Wed and Sat). Culture abounds at The Arts Centre and The Palace. Slader's Yard at West Bay shows internationally acclaimed art and furniture, the Watch House Cafe serves great food.
  • Visit Beer Fisheries for fresh fish straight off the boat, The Marine House Gallery for renowned local artists followed by lunch at the Anchor Inn, also in Beer, which overlooks the beach where the fishing boats are hauled up over the shingle.

"What a magical find. The location of The Wellhouse is truly magical, as is the home itself. We arrived to a roaring log fire and a food hamper which was a very thoughtful touch. The accommodation could not be better from the spacious bedrooms to the amazing open plan lounge and kitchen area. As a family of four we thoroughly enjoyed the walks from the front door and even spotted wild deer. The close proximity to the coastal towns coupled with the secluded location made this one of our most magical family holidays. "

"A wonderful house in an idyllic setting! The bed was one of the most comfortable we've slept in and the woodburner made for a cosy, warm environment while we enjoyed the stunning view through the lovely large glass windows. Highly recommended!"

"This is such a stunning place, totally removed from urban living, with everything on site you need to totally relax: beautiful house, grounds, BBQ and your own lake! I love the area, with the hubbub of Lyme regis, but the house is so tranquil to return to. The kids also just love the lake. We will be back. Thankyou. "
