Smedmore House is a stunning, privately owned 18th Century Country House on the Jurassic Coast.

Surrounded by countryside and spectacular sea views as far as the eye can see, Smedmore House offers a level of tranquillity and privacy hard to find elsewhere. It sleeps 16 in 8 double bedrooms, with an addtional 6 able to sleep in the Garden Wing, and has the marvellously warm and relaxed atmosphere of a well-loved family home.

Two acres of flower gardens, orchards, and a Mediterranean garden surround this Dorset seaside escape. At the bottom of the main walled garden is a walk through woods and fields, past sphinxes, urns and obelisks, down to Kimmeridge Bay.

Smedmore is licensed for Civil Ceremonies. These can take place either in one of 5 elegant rooms inside the house – the Front Hall, Dining Room, Drawing Room, Cedar Room and Inner Hall -or outside in the grounds.

The lawn at the front of the house makes an excellent marquee site with the backdrop of the Georgian house and with sea views to the side. The walled garden to the side of the house offers a delightfully sheltered spot for your drinks reception among the many exotic plants.
