Have had the most amazing weekend at Rushay-the house & gardens are beautiful and perfect for our family of 16!
The house is very spacious and suits all needs - my elderly parents were very happy in the downstairs en-suite bedroom in the cottage and 17 year old nephew happy to hide away in the attic room.
The dining room sat us all comfortably and we spent evenings sat in the cosy lounge with the fire burning.
The location is great-we walked to Charmouth, but were also very happy staying at the house, playing tennis and having a bbq.
It was lovely to meet Jason the owner who gave us a tour of the house.
We will definitely be back

Light, bright, beautiful
It’s as lovely as it looks. Our children were like wood nymphs, galloping around in the bluebells, while we had all our meals in the garden. Light and nature pours in through every window. Beautiful.

Rushay is a really beautiful house set in a large garden with mature trees. We loved the mixture of comfort and convenience . The young children in our party ran around outside in a very safe environment. We loved the tennis court, croquet lawn and easy walk down to the sea at Charmouth. A perfect place for a large multi generational party. The kitchen is well equipped, the sitting room with its open fire meant we were very comfortable in the evenings. Perfect!

Great half term stay.
We were a mixed age family group and had a really great stay at this house. It careered for all our multigenerational needs from a 4month old to 78yr old. The garden and tennis court were a great hit. The host told us of the walk down from the house to Charmouth which was beautiful. A super stay in this lovely exploring the area. Thank you

Half term family stay
Rushay is a house of huge character and charm, with a lovely garden set in beautiful countryside. Its location allows for early morning swims, lovely country walks from the door, and short hops into Lyme and Bridport. Its spaciousness and comfort allows elbow room and great communal spaces. All in all a great setting for a memorable weekend.

Family weekend
We had a fantastic two weeks at Rushay. It is a gorgeous Edwardian house, big and rambling and homely with huge gardens & lots of logs in the old pigsty for the fireplaces. Jason & Kate who own the house are welcoming, friendly & helpful but not intrusive. On the practical side there is plenty of parking and if you have dogs (we have two) there is oodles of space for them and they are made to feel welcome. The rooms are all big, the beds and bedding very comfy and there is an enormous dining area with a big table and seating for everyone. The kitchen has an Aga which was as popular with the dogs as it was with us, as well as a more modern cooker and hob, a good sized kitchen table and stools for breakfast, and plenty of the basics. The quantity, size, variety and position of the various spaces in the house meant there was somewhere for everyone. Everything in the house worked and worked well. The position is very good - peaceful, with lots of delightful Dorset countryside walks straight from the house but the beach in Charmouth is only a few minutes drive away and it is only 15 minutes or so drive into either Lyme Regis or Bridport. We absolutely loved it and will go back if we possibly can. For us it worked superbly well and I would thoroughly recommend it.
