Stoat bell tent mins from Lyme Regis, River Cottage, stunning Jurassic Coast

Stoat bell tent sits in the orchard at Valley View Farm (Grade II listed building, c. 1600), the perfect setting for glamping, providing a secluded, romantic break for 2, or for a family of 3 or group of friends. Mole, Badger and Rabbit also available for booking. Situated in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, set in 8 acres. Just a few minutes from the sea at Lyme Regis, SW Coast Path and stunning Jurassic beaches. Cooking/shower facilities and parking all close by.
lectric blankets and a tube heater provide extra warmth in the cosy tent.
A peaceful spot for relaxing and star gazing - no light pollution. A bridlepath runs past the farmhouse, which joins a network of footpaths. 40-minute walk to Lyme Regis along River Lim recommended.
Valley View Farm has a nature reserve and woodland area, which attracts a wide range of flora and fauna. It opened in July 2018, but is still in the early stages of development. The owner hopes that guests will feel free to improve the camps, tunnels, hides, trails, etc. and make new ones. There are lots of fallen branches and plenty of dead vegetation to help with structures - the ideal place to hone your bushcraft skills! The owner also provides checklists/clipboards and encourages guests to see what they can spot. Help from keen naturalists and birdwatchers in adding to the list would be much appreciated, and give future guests the pleasure of ticking off sightings.
Proximity to coast and countryside.
Have you always wanted to learn to paint the landscape, but just don't know where to start? Or perhaps you have some painting experience, but would like a bit of support and encouragement. Turn your holiday break into a unique creative experience.
Tailored tuition to paint the inspirational and stunning landscape around Lyme Regis. Painting both out in the landscape (weather permitting) or in a studio from sketches and photographs. The session will focus on what you would like to achieve and will be aimed at the level of experience that you have. Tuition on a one to one basis, couples or family/friends groups by an experienced tutor and artist with over 20yrs experience of teaching drawing and painting.

There is also a working pottery (The Pot Place) on the site. It is available for groups or individuals wishing to explore some basic hand-building modelling techniques and create a unique reminder of their holiday. The class is aimed at all levels and ages, but it would be helpful to know in advance what experience you have and what you hope to achieve from the session.
This class will hopefully fire your imagination and offer a lasting memory of a wonderful holiday experience. Instruction on the wheel is also available. Sessions include basic materials and clay. Glazing, firing and postage additional small costs.
