Glyde House

Dorchester, Dorset

Located in Dorchester, Dorset in the South West of England, Glyde House is a spacious property that can accommodate up to 8 guests. The house features a modern kitchen, open-plan sitting and dining room, and a deck for outdoor entertaining. Guests can enjoy cosy evenings by the open fire in the sitting room and make use of the baby grand piano. The garden offers space for children to play, with a large lawn perfect for croquet or rounders, and stunning views of the countryside and nearby water meadows.

Constructed from local Portland Stone, Glyde House offers flexible accommodation, including a ground floor bedroom with en-suite facilities. Despite its secluded location, the property is just a two-minute walk from the town center and a short distance from the peaceful countryside. The area, famously known as Casterbridge in Thomas Hardy's novels, has inspired the author with its picturesque surroundings. Guests can explore the River Frome, visit the ruins of a Roman villa with mosaic tiled floors, and discover museums and attractions such as Shire Hall.

Guests staying at Glyde House have plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities, including walking, cycling, and visiting the nearby Jurassic Coast. The property also offers amenities such as a travel cot, highchair, and stair gate upon request. However, pets are not allowed, and internet access is provided for recreational purposes only, with varying speeds and services. In case of difficulties or loss of use, neither the owner nor Dorset Hideaways will be held responsible.
