A truly special place

The Old Rectory is a stunning Grade 2* Listed Georgian property, once reported to be the largest rectory in England. It is situated in the quiet rural village of Symondsbury which boasts a genuine village pub, farm shop, café and much more. Only 2 miles from the nearest beach and 1.5 miles from the buzzing market town of Bridport.

The Old Rectory encapsulates a “hygge” ambience of quiet comfort through its tasteful  décor and furnishings. The gentle combination of rustic leathers, textural rugs on old wooden floorboards, moody lamps and carefully chosen colours and wallpapers; all design elements that thoughtfully enhance the original features of the 300 year old house, as well and breathing new life, love and pops of interest. 

The large country house lends itself perfectly as a great venue for all those family and friends celebrations and is an ideal place to base yourself for celebrations and large family holidays.  With 11 spacious bedrooms the house can sleep 22 comfortably (plus day beds/trundles (strictly for children only) in five of the bedrooms, increasing it's capacity to 31 guests). 

There is a large dining room to seat up to 32 guests, spacious sitting room, two kitchens making catering and supplies for large numbers feel easy and a library games room with pool table. Heading outside there is a lawn with an overlooking veranda and BBQ area for views over lush fields towards the sea.

The Old Rectory offers plenty of space to relax and enjoy in a genuine and beautifully unspoilt Dorset setting.
