THE HOUSE
Smedmore House, one of Dorset’s finest Georgian manor houses, is available for holidays, weekends, house parties, weddings and civil ceremonies as well as for corporate events, dinners, meetings, presentations and as a film location. Surrounded by countryside and spectacular sea views as far as the eye can see, Smedmore House offers a level of tranquillity and privacy hard to find elsewhere. It sleeps 16 in 8 double bedrooms and has the marvellously warm and relaxed atmosphere of a well-loved family home. Two acres of flower gardens, orchards, and a Mediterranean garden surround this Dorset seaside escape. At the bottom of the main walled garden is a walk through woods and fields, past sphinxes, urns and obelisks, down to Kimmeridge Bay.
Smedmore House is available for rental for Weekends, Holidays, Corporate events and all types of Celebration – it’s particularly good for multi-generational Big birthday parties and anniversaries. It is let on an exclusive whole-house basis, and sleeps 16 people in 8 double bedrooms. Normally clients want to self-cater but chefs, caterers and extra domestic help can all be arranged if wanted.
The charm of the house is its age and character, with family sized rooms, panelling, library shelves and antique furnishings, all well lit by large windows. It has the timeless, comfortable atmosphere of a well-loved family home.
The furniture in the house has been handed down through the generations and there are Dutch seventeenth-century pictures and ancestral portraits on the walls. The dining room, which seats 20, has eighteenth-century plaster-work and walls hung with over 100 blue Furstenberg plates. The elegant Drawing Room has an open wood fire while the Cedar Room, for family sitting, has satellite TV and there is broadband in most rooms.
The kitchen is well-equipped with 2 hobs and 2 ovens and can seat 10 for breakfast or other informal meals. The central heating works well and there is also a disabled loo downstairs
