Exceptional Bed and Breakfast by the sea in Dorset.
Marren is a beautiful house providing Bed and Breakfast overlooking the Dorset Coast between Lulworth Cove and Weymouth. It is set in a large garden on a steep slope, and is surrounded by National Trust land. There are spectacular views of Portland and Weymouth Bay, and the only sounds are of waves breaking and the cries of buzzards.
The garden has been designed, created, and is maintained by Wendy Cartwright. It is a fantastical mix of exotic planting and wild woodland. Monty Don featured it on the BBC’s Gardener’s World. For more on this please see Wendy’s web site at www.wendycartwright.net. Also see the Gallery for more pictures.
Location
We are seven minutes from a secluded beach to the east of Ringstead and five minutes from the Dorset Coastal Path which leads to Bats Head, Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove. It is the perfect place for walking, seeing wildlife and has breathtaking views of sea and cliffs.
Access is fairly adventurous, being down a rough farm track. Low slung cars may find it challenging.
Accommodation
We have two en-suite double bedrooms. The larger one has its own entrance from the garden and a super king-size bed; the smaller one has a spectacular view of Portland and Weymouth Bay from the bed through french windows. Click here for more information.
We can recommend a selection of excellent restaurants and pubs for eating out, plus help with local maps and directions for walks. Booking: Telephone 07957 886399 or email peter@marren.info
