Property code: DC111

From the exposed beams and rafters to the exposed brickwork features, slate flooring, and stunning oak staircase, this converted stable is a touch of class from beginning to end.

This beautifully converted stable is located at the end of an unenclosed gravelled drive and is surrounded by stone walls, trees and shrubs. It sits beyond the owner’s house and outbuildings of the former farm. The property is conveniently located on the lane to the neighbouring village and beach of Seatown and is within walking distance (300 yards) of a pub and local shop. A 7-mile drive down the coast will take you to Lyme Regis, a popular tourist destination where you can visit the Marine Aquarium, Dinosaurland Fossil Museum or even try your hand at a spot of deep-sea fishing (season and weather permitting). There are a number of local walks, some of which are on the fossil trails and you can even visit Monmouth Beach (7 miles) to view some impressive fossils on the beach.

On entering the property through a wooden stable door, there are bedrooms on either side of the hall. Both are spacious and light double bedrooms, each containing a king-size wooden sleigh bed and a selection of attractive wooden bedroom furniture, wooden beams to the ceilings and exposed brickwork features. Each bedroom has a set of French doors leading to the outside terrace, and each has its own en-suite with stunning slate flooring, one is a bathroom with a bath and shower over, the other is a shower room. Going further down the hall and up the beautiful oak staircase you enter an open-plan space comprising the kitchen, dining area and lounge. The room is light and airy with exposed wooden rafters, brickwork features, sloping ceilings and skylights. There is a comfortable seating area where you can watch the Smart TV, as well as a desk area, dining table and a fully equipped kitchen with cooker, fridge, freezer, microwave, washing machine and dishwasher.

To the exterior of the property, there is a large terrace with a seating area to soak in all the nature surrounding you. There is parking available for one car.

Please note, there is a self-contained annexe adjacent to this property which can also be booked to accommodate an extra two guests if required. Please contact us for more information.

Wonderful accommodation tucked away in the lovely village of Chideock. We had a perfect week exploring the Jurassic coast and really enjoyed coming home to Mallard Stable at the end of each day. Everything provided was good quality and we were pleasantly surprised to find the welcome goodies on the table on arrival. We hope to return one day.

We spend a lovely week at Mallards Stable. The property was extremely well equipped, with everything you needed, including little things that you may forget to bring, such as tea/coffee/sugar, washing up liquid etc. The beds were very comfortable and we loved the upside down layout. A great touch was the welcome pack of milk, biscuits, a bottle of Read moreProsecco and my son was so happy with his Easter egg! Nice walk to beach, about 15 minutes down a quiet lane.
