bed and breakfast by the sea in Dorset

Overlooking the sea between Lulworth Cove and Weymouth is a house called Marren. Surrounded by National Trust land, Marren is set in a large garden high on a steep slope with spectacular views of Portland and Weymouth bay. The only sounds are of waves breaking and the cries of buzzards.

We are seven minutes walk from a secluded beach to the east of Ringstead and five minutes from the Dorset coastal path which leads to Bats Head, Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove. It is the perfect place for walking, seeing wildlife and breathtaking views of sea and cliffs.

The large double bed room has an en-suite bathroom and TV.  English or continental breakfast is provided with the best farm produce.

Our second bedroom is also en-suite with TV, and has a spectacular view of Portland and Weymouth Bay through french windows.
