Local Accommodation
The following are some recommendations that past guests have made to us. If you find any other gems please do let us know. The list starts with the nearest and ends with the furthest from Higher Holditch Farm.
Please note that due to the narrow local lanes it can take longer than expected to get from A to B. For example, approximate travel times are as follows - Lyme Regis: 15 mins; Beaminster: 20 mins; and Bridport: 30 mins.
We have given some guide prices below which are accurate to the best of our knowledge. However, please do check with the hotels and B&Bs we've detailed for any changes to these tariffs or the discounts available to course attendees.
