Fine period home on country estate, Lyme Regis
Situated on the beautiful Rousdon Estate, just a few miles from Lyme Regis, the Stable Courtyard offers a spacious, family friendly home for the perfect West Country holiday. The Estate was built in the 1870s for the Peake family in the Arts and Crafts style, and is now an exclusive development of individual dwellings in 160 acres of leafy private grounds. The estate offers access to its own private beach and also access to the famous Undercliff and coast path into Lyme Regis. The space This 3 bedroomed property forms part of the former stable yard quadrangle which now has a central fountain and flower bed. The property had many period features and has been sympathetically styled in keeping with its Victorian heritage.

The pretty twin room with an original tiled fire place has plenty of storage space and a cot. The pretty third bedroom has a single bed and look across the estate.

Lovely house in idyllic location
We had a lovely week at Rousdon! The estate is very picturesque and peaceful, with some lovely walks. The house is in the old stable courtyard, and had everything we needed and was very comfortable. We found it very conveniently located for Lyme Regis, and the wider Jurassic coast. We would very much recommend it!Note: as of April 2025 the private beach is inaccessible, but you can still walk down to join the coastal path,

Summer family break
Fully equipped property with everything and all the little extras you’d need. Comfortable beds and very peaceful location. Private beach is worth a visit and lots of lovely walks around.

Hidden Gem
This property was perfect for our family of 3. The hosts are accommodating and check in with you a day into the stay to make sure that you have what you need and are willing to assist in anyway they can. The property is stunning and Lyme Regis is only a 5 minute drive away for a beach day. We will definitely be staying again when we are back in the area.
Could not fault or stay, we stayed over the new year period. It’s a great location only a short drive from the centre of Lyme Regis, but also offers picturesque grounds, enabling you to take advantage of done great walks. Would highly recommend.
