Other Things to Note:
We have a gardener who cuts the grass and keeps things tidy - he will try to do this on changeover days but depending on the weather may need to do this during the week.
Dog Owners - Only 1 dog per booking – no dog larger than a Labrador or Retriever. Bridge House is at the foot of Ham Hill Country Park which is a local nature reserve and lies on the edge of the Liberty Walking Trail which runs from Ham Hill to coastal town of Lyme Regis. There are endless stunning dog walks throughout the area and the beaches on the Jurassic Coast often accept dogs, particular in Autumn/Winter, with Eype Beach being one of the best beaches in Dorset for dog owners with year round dog access. The kitchen is large with plenty of room for your dog and their bedding, and if preferred, a dog crate can be easily accommodated in the kitchen hallway. To protect the carpets and furniture, dogs are strictly not allowed upstairs or in any other areas of the house at any time. We live next door with our very friendly Irish Terrier, and it is therefore important that your dog is friendly with other dogs. Strictly no dogs in the pool or on the pool cover as their claws can puncture both the pool liner and the cover. If you are thinking of bringing your dog please message us first so we can give you the relevant information.
We do have a travel cot but guests will need to bring their own bedding for this.
We have a 7Kw EV charger as well ( charges apply )
