Sea View is the original master bedroom of the house and our dog-friendly Grand Room. Three large sash windows flood the room with light and provide an enchanting, ever changing view of the sea, clouds, and cliffs. The bold, considered décor — and the stately scale of the room — are indulgent.
Lighthouse is our most spacious room with a long view — Golden Cap to the east, and on a clear day as far as Portland. It is the only room at Dorset House with an adjacent sitting room: an original fireplace, a sofa, an antique desk, and space to settle in.
Fossil faces seaward. Light streams in through the sash window from the south, and the view stretches over the rooftops of Lyme Regis to the sea. The room is quiet, calm, and unhurried — no television, just the view.
Church View sits tucked into the corner of the house — our quietest room, insulated from the street by its position. The original sash window looks out over St Michael & St George Catholic Church, in use since 1837, and a glimpse of the sea is visible beyond. Church View is our dog-friendly House Room.
Porthole takes its name from the round window in the bathroom. The room is oriented north, which suits late sleepers. Porthole has an original fireplace, wide waxed floorboards, and tiling in the en-suite that echoes the ripple patterns left by the retreating tide on the beach below.
