Symondsbury Manor is a country house near Bridport of doughty 17th century stone, scrambled with roses, dormer windows nosing from a slope of weathered tile. It has 11 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms and sleeps up to 22 guests. A perfect place for a holiday with family or friends, or for special celebrations.
Of the eleven bedrooms, one is on the ground-floor, off the kitchen, and is suitable for guests who would prefer not to use too many stairs. Two of the attic bedrooms are suitable for guests with a young family; the bedrooms are inter-connected and share a large bathroom.
The reception rooms are large and relaxed, and include a sixty-foot long open-plan living room. There is also a huge country-style kitchen, and the sort of massive Aga that inspires immediate Mary Berry fantasies.
Every room is uniquely decorated.

A beautiful house in stunning gardens. A family get together of 14 adults and 4 children easily accommodated with the 10 bedroomed property. Kitchen extremely well equipped with a range of cutlery, pots and pans to cater for our group. Comfortable rooms/beds. Large lounge/diner, sufficient space and seating. Good communication throughout the process.

After a group of us spent 3 nights at Symondsbury Manor it’s fair to say we had the best weekend away especially since the pandemic hit. Angela and Peter were extremely welcoming and made the booking process very easy, as well as the fact that they helped us settle into the manor as soon as we got there.The garden was amazing and scenic as we sat outside each day to have a few drinks and play a bit of football in the sunshine. We also made use of the big bbq which was great!All the rooms were very comfy and cosy and the kitchen gave us everything we needed in order to cook large meals for us all staying there. Finally, we had great fun using the table tennis and football table which was located in a large room that kept us occupied for much of the evenings.Overall I would highly recommended Symondsbury Manor if you’re looking for a relaxing weekend away with friends or a fun few days away with family. Thank you again Angela and Peter!

Having now had many reports from the various age groups of our family spending Christmas at Symondsbury Manor, we wanted to tell you that they all had a wonderful time. They found the house and the atmosphere very attractive. They particularly appreciated that the house was immaculate when they all turned up, and we hope that they left in a reasonable shape when they all left. Thank you very much for all of that and especially for your patience as circumstances made our planning rather difficult. We were sorry not to be there ourselves but maybe another time. We wish you all a very good 2021. With best wishes from, Jane and Francis

We hired Symondsbury Manor for my 50th birthday, invited 20 friends and had so much fun. Funky place, great ball room and huge dining table, outdoors is lovely and the village, local pub, estate shops are glorious and blissful walks, highly recommend Hungry Mule catering too!

Beautiful house with lots of character. Bathroom and showers were the main disappointment in this house. The carpet and furnishings were a little worn but in a homely way. A few of the rooms were right next to the kitchen or living room, making them a little awkward to stay in unless everyone has the same bedtime or you're hard of hearing.

Amazing house, each room different from the next full of charm and warmth, great garden and close to local pub. A short walk from Bridport centre. Which is full of pubs bars and great places to eat.
WARREN ROGERS
Stayed in January with 10 people and had a fantastic time. The house is beautiful and located in a lovely little village within close proximity of the Jurassic Coast. The layout of the house is quite quirky but done very well and has more than enough utensils in the kitchen to make you feel like you are at home. If you enjoy time with friends in good surrounding it doesn't get much better than this..

We all had an absolutely wonderful time at the manor - thanks very much for letting us use it. Everyone remarked on how nice the house was, as well as the convenience of the Symondsbury Kitchen next door for breakfast. I know several of the group have said that they would like to book the venue for future family events
Angela
We had a wonderful time, thank you! We have stayed at many similar properties of varying sizes over the last few years as part of our annual retreat, but many of our party said that Symondsbury was definitely the favourite. We were all impressed by the friendliness and the welcoming atmosphere. As well as the really interesting inside and gardens, which were great for us photographically. The main living and socialising area was really large, and surprisingly more than adequate for our group. The added bonus of the ballroom meant we could do things like set up light to practice flash photography during a very excitable ping pong game :).I am very sure we will be back with you again in a year or two.

Great space, little quirks on the hot water and shower system but nothing to spoil the beautiful place and environment!
