Description
Crewkerne: 3 miles.
Nestled in the pretty village of South Perrott, on the Dorset/Somerset border, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is this charming two-storey former granary, The Old Granary.
Attached to a Grade ll-listed, 17th-century farmhouse, it is well located to explore West Dorset, with its World Heritage Jurassic coastline, and South Somerset and East Devon are within easy reach.
The Old Granary boasts a magnificent spacious open-plan living area on the first floor and can comfortably accommodate four guests, making this a perfect choice for a family holiday.
Step into the pretty hallway of your new home-from-home on the ground floor, where two neatly-presented bedrooms can be found, a double and a twin, along with a spacious shower room.
An open-tread staircase leads to the first floor with its magnificent high vaulted ceiling and original oak beams.
There is a lovely sitting area with generously-sized sofas, a Smart TV and a selection of books and games, a dining area with table and chairs for four, and a well-equipped kitchen area.
The windows and the French doors, which open onto a Juliet balcony, look out over the owners’ attractive garden.
Outside, there is ample parking and a picnic table and chairs in a secluded area of the garden where you can relax and dine alfresco in the sunshine.
You are welcome to use the adjoining paddock for games and recreation.
South Perrott is a delightful small village set in the glorious West Dorset countryside, close to the Somerset border, and lying on the A356 Crewkerne to Dorchester Road with easy access from the A303.
The village can trace its history back to the Domesday Book and has retained much of its original character and beauty with thatched cottages along the main road and houses built in the local hamstone.
The beautiful church of St Mary’s in South Perrott dates back to the 13th century.
The River Parrett, which rises just a mile up the hill at Chedington, winds through the village, and keen walkers can follow its route along the River Parrett Trail all the way to the Bristol Channel!
The market town of Crewkerne is just 3 miles away, with good facilities and a selection of shops, cafés and pubs, and the lovely Old Coaching Inn at Winyards Gap in Chedington (1.2 miles) or the Admiral Hood in Mosterton (2 miles) serve delicious lunches and suppers.
The village of South Perrott is perfectly situated to explore this beautiful area beloved by Thomas Hardy.
There are numerous footpaths and bridleways affording long-distance views and the ancient towns of Beaminster, Bridport and Dorchester are all within an easy drive.
The World Heritage Jurassic coast, running from Swanage in the east to Exmouth in the west, is just a short drive away and boasts a fine choice of beautiful beaches at West Bay, Lyme Regis, Charmouth and Weymouth.
Why not try fossil-hunting along the coast at Lyme Regis, take a sea fishing trip from West Bay, or an invigorating walk along the cliff paths?
With friendly owners on hand to ensure you experience the best holiday possible, The Old Granary is the perfect choice to explore this beautiful area.

What guests are saying
What a find!
The Old Granary was extremely comfortable and well equipped. The welcome pack was a nice touch especially the homemade apple juice. It made a great base to visit a number of places including Weymouth, Lyme Regis, Dorchester, Bridport and Sherborne. Angela and Martyn were very welcoming and had a wealth of knowledge about the local area. We would definitely recommend this accommodation.
Wonderful property in a quiet location.
All the creature comforts required to feel lile a home from home. Angela and Martyn were great hosts, and ensired we had everything we meeded for a 14 day stay. Would gladly return in the future. Thanks again!
We had a wonderful stay at the old rectory and our hosts Martin and Angela could not have been kinder or more helpful when we had a problem with our car.
The old rectory has been beautifully restored with all the comforts of home and the welcome gift was a lovely surprise. The grounds are beautiful and relaxing and we hope to return! Definitely recommended
