About this property
Set within the peaceful surroundings of Pinewood Retreat, just a short drive from the dramatic beauty of the Jurassic Coast, 4 Pinewood is a delightful Finnish-style log cabin offering everything you need for a relaxing family getaway.
This charming lodge is nestled in a parkland setting, where the natural timber interiors, wooden floors, walls, and ceilings, create a warm and characterful atmosphere. The open-plan living area is perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring, with a comfy sofa to curl up on beside the electric fire and a well-equipped kitchen that makes cooking together a pleasure. Share meals and stories around the dining table before retreating to one of two inviting bedrooms: a cosy double and a twin, both served by a modern bathroom with a bath and shower over.
Step outside onto the veranda and enjoy your morning coffee in the fresh air, surrounded by the tranquil greenery of the retreat. Guests have access to both an indoor swimming pool, available year-round, and a seasonal outdoor pool, making this a fantastic destination whatever the weather.
Beyond the retreat, the local area is brimming with charm and adventure. Just a short drive away, Lyme Regis awaits with its golden beaches, the iconic Cobb harbour, and a lively mix of independent shops, galleries, and eateries. Whether you're paddling in the shallows, trying your hand at water sports, or joining a fishing trip, there's something for everyone.
Further along the coast, Charmouth offers the chance to hunt for fossils along its famous beach, while the picturesque village of Beer enchants visitors with its quaint beach and dramatic white limestone cliffs. After a day of coastal discovery, return to the comfort of your cabin and soak in the peace of Pinewood Retreat.
Whether you're exploring the Jurassic Coast, relaxing by the pool, or simply enjoying the quiet beauty of your surroundings, a stay at 4 Pinewood promises a truly memorable holiday.
The delightful seaside town of Lyme Regis has much to offer its visitors, boasting a maze of narrow streets filled with craft and antique shops, galleries and cafes. Take a stroll along the world-famous Cobb causeway overlooking the ancient harbour, where fishing trips can be enjoyed, or try your hand at fossil hunting in the area. The scenic coastal path offers excellent walking opportunities and spectacular views of the stunning Jurassic coast, whilst the gently shelving sands and sparkling waters of Lyme Bay provide the perfect place in which to relax and unwind. A holiday destination to savour!

On arrival the front balcony was covered in leaves and dust, all the windows were dirty and stained. Internally the dark pine showed up all the dust especially on the louvre doors in the bedrooms. Cobwebs in every room. Our holiday started with cleaning the balcony and windows and the rest of the above. We left the property in a better state than we arrived.

We enjoyed having the pool close to the property. Plenty of things to do in the area and local pubs for evening meals. The welcome pack was a nice touch. The only draw back was that we thought it a little expensive.
