Lorton House is incredible. The elegant Victorian country house can sleep up to 16 guests in eight luxurious bedrooms, with both the house and gardens enjoying fantastic views over fields and countryside to Weymouth Bay. It is perfect for extended families or groups of friends gathering for a relaxing holiday or celebration of a special event. The location is every bit as idyllic. Lorton House is on the edge of the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and only three miles from Weymouth Beach and the town centre. It has everything you need for a wonderful self-catering holiday in Weymouth, with something to keep everyone happy no matter what season you are there.
The seaside resort of Weymouth is perfect for a lazy summer holiday. Its long stretch of sandy beach is backed by a town full of shops, cafes, pubs and other amenities. Hire a deck chair and settle back with a book and an ice-cream cone, or lace up your comfortable shoes and walk along the coastal footpath to the Isle of Portland and the iconic red-and-white stripes of Portland Bill lighthouse. Other local attractions include the SEA LIFE Adventure Park, Lodmoor RSPB Reserve, and Nothe Fort. Durdle Door is 14 miles away, and the fossils and beaches of the Jurassic Coast are also within an easy drive. The Bovington Tank Museum is fun and educational, with the possibility of a ride in a tank on certain days.
Sailing, surfing, swimming and sightseeing boat tours are all readily available, while adventurous souls can try coasteering around sheltered harbours, bays and cliffs once used by smugglers. Visitors can also enjoy golf, cycling, and horseriding. Sightsee around Dorset towns like Dorchester, Lyme Regis or Wimborne Minster; or head out into the countryside on long walks or bike rides with a pit stop at a country pub for lunch.
Lorton House is luxurious without feeling like it's trying too hard. It feels special yet relaxed and is somewhere you can unwind and have fun with family and friends.
