Casa de Férias do Ano | Para 20 pessoas | Tênis, Jardins | 1 milha da praia Jurassic Coast

***VRBO HOLIDAY HOME OF THE YEAR 2026***

A large Arts & Crafts country house with cottage near Lyme Regis — ideal for multi-generational family stays, with tennis court, large garden, and direct access to the Jurassic Coast.

Rushay has been named 2026 Holiday Home of the Year in recognition of our superlative guest reviews, plus the delights of Bridport and Lyme Regis – and the beauty of West Dorset’s Jurassic coast.

A mile from the beach at Charmouth, Rushay is a nine-bedroom Edwardian country house and cottage, sleeping up to 20. With four reception rooms, open fires, a hard tennis court, and gardens that come alive with wildflowers in spring, it’s a home designed for gathering up families and friends.

We are proud of every guest who has stayed, explored, cooked, walked and celebrated here — this award belongs as much to them as to us.

If some houses are for staying in, others are for slowing down: so Rushay is set up for long, unhurried days with family and friends. Think shared meals at a long table, books by the fire, children exploring the garden, and coastal walks straight from the door.

Perfect for multi-generational stays, the house combines character and comfort: spacious living areas, a fully equipped kitchen (plus a second in the adjacent cottage), superfast WiFi, and carefully designed bedrooms.

Outside, enjoy a hard tennis court, an asado barbecue, and a west-facing terrace for evenings that stretch into dusk.

Charmouth beach is a mile away across the fields; the wider Dorset coast — from Lyme Regis to Chesil Beach — is within easy reach.

Dogs welcome. Logs provided. Everything in place for a slower kind of stay.
