What a find! Looking for something suitable for 12 people including teenagers is not easy. Lancombes farmhouse was brilliant. Very spacious where people could spread and so well appointed. The Christmas decorations were a nice touch. Adrian, the owner, was very friendly and helpful although still giving us privacy. Beds were extremely comfy and good shower and bathrooms. The setting is lovely and we took advantage of local footpaths to do a three mile walk straight from the front door.

Great family getaway

Our entire family stayed here to celebrate a special birthday. We were very pleased with the farmhouse and the amount of space. The hosts were very pleasant and helpful. Kitchen was well equipped. Only reason we gave a 4 for cleanliness is because it was a little dusty (But expected due to it being a farmhouse!) Would recommend to all.

Perfect for a pre Christmas get together.

We always choose a large house catering for 12 for a family get together. We have a Christmas dinner for which the kitchen was great and the lounge was one of the best we have stayed in for size and comfort. The house was lovely and warm and the beds were very comfortable. It is very rural but only a short drive to take a walk along the coastal path and the rest of the time we spent chilling out ...

Fabulous Farmhouse

We were a group of ages ranging from 9 to 70 and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay, so much so my granddaughters didn’t want to leave. They loved feeding the horses & playing pool in the games room. Everything you could possibly need was in the farmhouse & we enjoyed returning there after a day out exploring Dorset. We would certainly return

Absolutely perfect for our special family celebrations getaway with the dogs too. Spacious and so well equipped - we cooked breakfasts and dinners for 12 most days and could enjoy the food around the lovely big table all together. Beautiful walking straight off the farms and short drive to our favourite hills. Comfortable beds and plenty of storage. Adrian made us feel so welcome and we quickly made the farmhouse our home. Hopefully, we will return again for future family celebrations.

Family holiday

We had a lovely week staying in the Farmhouse, which was a perfect size for our family get together of 11 people - ages ranging from 16 months to 70 - plus 2 dogs. The property was very comfortable with a very well-equipped kitchen and a large comfy lounge, and bedrooms. The outside area was great with stunning views from the bbq area, plus enough space for outdoor games and lots of choice of various dog walks from the house. The hosts were lovely and very welcoming with good communication beforehand. We would definitely return to the Farmhouse in the future as everyone had such a relaxing time there.

We were here in late spring when rhe blossom and birdsong are amazing. We had an age range of 9 to 70 and everybody was happy. The games room got a lot of use! The hosts were pleasant and gracious.

Perfect early family Christmas

Had a great time staying at the Farmhouse, the owner pop in to say hello and answered any questions we had. Nothing was too much trouble and they shared their opinion of the local takeaway, it was great by the way and they even delivered. We enjoyed playing pool in the games room. The kitchen had just about everything we needed, large freezer was brilliant as we brought food for a large Christmas Lunch on the saturday. Thank you for a great stay and the firelighters !! Huge house so plenty of room for our party of 12. Thank you also for decorating the house with Christmas Decs !!

Lancombes House

Absolutely beautiful location. The views are breathtaking. The property is traditional and very well maintained . With six spacious bedrooms, the lounge is spotless and very cosy. The kitchen is enormous with two huge tables perfect for a large group. The bathroom and toilet facilities are good too. The added bonus was the games room where there’s a full size pool table, books, games and table football. Our family spent some quality time in there mainly playing pool. I highly recommend this property and Adrian and Sue are very kind and helpful. Stunning is probably an understatement of this beautiful property and it’s location. Local pub only a short drive away serves delicious food and also does takeaway. Lyme Regis and Charmouth are a pleasant 35 minute drive away 👌
