About Downhouse Farm Cottage

Downhouse Farm Cottage is situated in an enviable spot on the Golden Cap estate, one of England's natural World Heritage Sites. With its garden enclosed by a post and rail fence and patio area, the cottage enjoys sweeping countryside views from a secluded setting.

Wake up to a healthy dose of sea air before heading out for a stroll along the Jurassic Coast. With miles of breath taking sea shore to explore, you’ll be spoilt for choice.

The nearby town of Lyme Regis is a beautiful place to spend the afternoon. Paddle in the sea, take a walk along the town’s world-famous cobb, and sample some of the best seafood in the area.
