General Info |
|
| |
The Jurassic Coast is a notoriously beautiful area and the studio sits just on the Devon/Dorset border, with the delights of both at your fingertips. The accommodation is cosy and welcoming, with everything you could need for a comfortable holiday, yet right on your doorstep are all the wonderful sights and sounds of the surrounding Nature Reserve. Enjoy coastal walks, watch the plentiful wildlife, discover shipwrecks, stroll along a deserted beach or just cuddle up in your private cabin. |

Details on the area surrounding the property/accommodation |
|
| |
The Undercliff is a ‘minimum intervention’ nature reserve which means that it is teeming with wildlife. A huge variety of birds nest here – from owls and woodpeckers to tits, chaffinches and robins, to name but a few. You may also see deer, pheasants, badgers and rabbits, as well as hares, newts, butterflies and other insects. During August, you may even see dolphins in Lyme Bay or grey seals in Charton Bay. From the Studio you can walk to Lyme Regis on the coastal path in about an hour and a half or the pretty village of Axmouth in the other direction. Alternatively, Lyme Regis is 15 minutes in the car, River Cottage is 10 minutes’ drive and all the local Devon/ Dorset countryside is a stone’s throw away. |

The Studio is extremely well-equipped and is ideal for a couple or a single person looking to escape from it all.

Exterior Details |
As soon as you step outside the door you are deep in the middle of a Nature Reserve. In the Spring there are carpets of bluebells, primroses and wild garlic and all year round the views from the balcony are sensational. The secluded private beach is just a 10 minute walk away.

Further Details |
There are numerous wrecks along the Dorset/Devon coastline and one is so close to shore in Charton Bay that it can be seen at low tide. At exceptionally low tides the wreck can be accessed from the beach. In 1896 an Italian wooden barque on its way from Borga to Seville was caught in a force 9 gale and was eventually broken in two by the force of the waves. She foundered on a rock midway between Culverhole Point and the centre of Charton Bay. Captain Bertolotto and his crew of 16 all safely reached the shore in their own boats and the cargo – cut soft wood – littered the coastline for miles to the west and east.

What visitors have said about Undercliff Studio |

What a wonderful find this Studio is, set in a wonderful secluded position. The beach is lovely: walks from the studio, either way good. Or further afield great coastal walks. The peace and stillness of the place make it a special stay. Will be spreading the word to our friends; what a great place to come to.

A piece of peace in this busy, noisy world. We have never heard so much quietness! Thank you for a restful few days in your place where time forgot.

Many thanks for sharing such a great location and what a beach! We have been to Rousdon many times but never seen it from this perspective. Great walks and plenty of quiet rest, what a good recipe for a holiday.

What a place! A unique location and a lovely Studio…..and the beach and the woods…and the silence (with just the distant sounds of the sea.) I wanted to be on my own to read, to write and to think. It’s been a superb 4/5 days and I am sorry to be leaving but I hope to be back before long. Thank you so much.

Thank you, what a truly amazing place! A little piece of heaven – the birdsong in the morning, owls at midnight and so many stars! We looked right up into the Milky Way. Looking forward to a return visit in the Spring
