Wunderful historic Manor close to the Jurrassic Coast in Dorset.

Just 3.5 hours drive from Folkstone this well equipped holiday appartement with 3 large bedrooms is the place to stay. Bathrooms are up to todays standard and wunderful fitted for this place. The very friendly owners do make you feel welcome at this beautiful manor where King George the third also enjoyed to stay while visiting the Dorset coast in the 18th century. You can take hikes in the countryside up to the coast or just read your book at the fireplace. Enjoy!
