Nestled in the picturesque village of South Perrott, situated on the Dorset/Somerset border, The Old Granary offers a delightful retreat in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This charming two-storey former granary, which is attached to a Grade II-listed 17th-century farmhouse, provides an ideal base for exploring the stunning landscapes of West Dorset, including the renowned Jurassic coastline. Accommodating up to four guests, this property features a spacious open-plan living area on the first floor, making it a perfect choice for families seeking a memorable holiday experience.
Upon entering The Old Granary, guests are welcomed into a cozy hallway on the ground floor, where they will find two well-appointed bedrooms—a double and a twin—alongside a spacious shower room. An open-tread staircase leads to the first floor, where the living space is characterized by a magnificent high vaulted ceiling adorned with original oak beams. The inviting sitting area is furnished with generous sofas, a Smart TV, and a selection of books and games, while a dining area with a table and chairs for four complements a well-equipped kitchen. French doors open onto a Juliet balcony, offering lovely views of the owners' attractive garden.
Outside, The Old Granary provides ample parking and a secluded area in the garden, complete with a picnic table and chairs, perfect for alfresco dining. Guests are also welcome to utilize the adjoining paddock for recreational activities. The charming village of South Perrott boasts a rich history, dating back to the Domesday Book, and is characterized by its thatched cottages and local hamstone houses. The historic St Mary’s Church, which dates back to the 13th century, adds to the village's charm, while the River Parrett meanders nearby, inviting keen walkers to explore the scenic River Parrett Trail.
Conveniently located just three miles from the market town of Crewkerne, visitors can enjoy a variety of shops, cafés, and pubs, including the Old Coaching Inn at Winyards Gap and the Admiral Hood in Mosterton. South Perrott serves as a gateway to the beautiful landscapes celebrated by Thomas Hardy, with numerous footpaths and bridleways offering breathtaking views. The ancient towns of Beaminster, Bridport, and Dorchester are easily accessible by car, and the World Heritage Jurassic Coast, featuring stunning beaches at West Bay, Lyme Regis, Charmouth, and Weymouth, is just a short drive away. Guests can indulge in activities such as fossil-hunting, sea fishing, or invigorating cliff walks, all while enjoying the attentive hospitality of the friendly owners at The Old Granary.
