This was the most stunning holiday house I've ever stayed in, it was truly beautiful yet it also felt so homely! It was very obvious that the owners had put a lot of thought and effort into get the right balance between grandeur and homeliness! Every room was stunning, the views and surrounding areas were beautiful.
The welcome pack was lovely, you had all the information you need, the house has everything you could want, nothing has been overlooked!
I cannot recommend this house highly enough, the pictures cannot prepare you for how beautiful and calming it actually is! It was so peaceful and exactly what we wanted. Plus on a few minutes drive to the nearby towns and sights, a great location!!
I didn't want to leave and will hope to be able to come back at some point in the future!
Fantastic house, fantastic location and fantastic owner!!

Our extended family spent a wonderful week in this fantastic house. It's setting on the Rousdon estate cannot be bettered. It is well equipped and provides superb comfort with every little thing you could think of catered for. We spent a good deal of time in the generous kitchen dinner. The very individual bedrooms are all beautifully furnished. The lounge is impressive. We enjoyed exploring the estate however the walk down to the beach is challenging and takes a good 20 minutes. It is not for the very young, old or infirm.
We loved Middlemist and hope to return soon. We would recommend it to our family and friends without hesitation.

Beautifully situated on the Rousdon Estate just 5 miles from Lyme Regis. Comfortably sleeps 8, well appointed kitchen and living areas finished to a high standard makes this accommodation the perfect home from home. I would highly recommend Middlemist.

Having stayed in cottages on the Rousdon estate before, we thought we knew what to expect - how wrong we were! This is a stunning tardis of a house, much bigger than we expected, beautifully decorated & furnished & exceptionally-well kitted out, particularly the kitchen. And the tree house in the garden was an added, unexpected treat!

Rousdon is a great place to stay with children, who can safely explore the extensive grounds. It's convenient for the beaches and various other attractions in Dorset & Devon.

We would highly recommend staying here!

Just returned from a weekend at Middlemist, spent with friends to celebrate a 40th birthday. The house excelled in every way, the video on the website shows Middlemist as a very special elegant property but it's not until you walk through the door that you realise quite how special Middlemist is. Every room is elegant and luxurious, with special features and beautiful antiques and furniture. The views from the house are also very special with plenty of space around the grounds for pleasant walks. Whilst we stayed at Midldemist we visited Lyme Regis, Beer and Sidmouth which are all easily accessible from the Rousden Estate.
I would highly recommend Middlemist for every occasion and can't wait to return with my family next year.

We stayed at Middlemist in October to celebrate my daughter's 30th birthday and my wife's 50th. It was a special occasion so we decided to pay a bit more for somewhere special. Middlemist was that and more, we had a great weekend, the house is in a fabulous setting (maybe a little further from the sea than we'd anticipated!) with great views, inside it's like home, just cleaner, better appointed and more comfortable and for me that's the ultimate benchmark! On the Sunday we went for lunch at River Cottage HQ, just 3 miles up the road and we really loved it, the food was fabulous.

We looked at hundreds of lets before settling on Middlemist and I'm really glad we did!
