“This boutique bed and breakfast, set in a 16th-century salt house, strikes me as an ideal base for exploring the Jurassic Coast. The award-winning chef's emphasis on sustainability and seasonality is admirable, as are the dog-friendly amenities. I think its blend of historical charm and culinary excellence makes it an appealing choice.”
