Fabulous large property for a large group, lovely gardens, tennis court and surrounding fields with sheep, very peaceful. Large bedrooms, comfy beds. Bathrooms need to be updated with showers and property felt a little "tired" We all had a great time and would stay again in the future.

Beautiful home in amazing location

We stayed over NYE the house was absolutely beautiful. Home from home, rustic and tastefully decorated keeping the charm of the property. We stayed in most of the time cooking huge meals and the kitchen and dining area is perfect for that. Have already recommended it to a family member. Thank you.

Great half term stay

We were a mixed age family group and had a really great stay at this house. It careered for all our multigenerational needs from a 4month old to 78yr old. The garden and tennis court were a great hit. The host told us of the walk down from the house to Charmouth which was beautiful. A super stay in this lovely exploring the area. Thank you

It’s as lovely as it looks. Our children were like wood nymphs l, galloping around in the bluebells, while we had all our meals in the garden. Light and nature pours in through every window. Beautiful.

A perfect spot for our four generation family holiday

We loved this house, loads of indoor and outdoor space and a great location - quiet but within easy reach of coast/countryside and local attractions - all of which suited us perfectly. Nesting swallows and house martins were fledging when we were there and we enjoyed the walk into Charmouth from the house.. A great deal of care has been taken in equipping the property, making for a comfortable stay. Jason couldn’t have been more helpful, both before and during our holiday with suggestions. We are so glad we took the chance and booked it - as a new property there were no reviews - and would love to return.

Thank you so much for being such great and appreciative guests. It's so good to hear about the little things you noticed, like the swallows learning to fly, along with the big things like the space, and the location. 'A perfect spot' is just what drew us to Rushay ourselves. The walk into Charmouth is lovely, as you say. Please do come back - you are always welcome.

A wonderful country house for a family party!

We really enjoyed Rushay - the house, Cottage and grounds are beautiful. Full use was made of the tennis court and we drove to Charmouth for an early morning swim each day. The beds are really comfy and the bathroom facilities are good. We did feel that the kitchen equipment needs updating a little - we just managed to cater for 20 between the two kitchens and using quite a few items brought from home. Altogether though, a really lovely time was he by all!

Rain did not dampen enjoyment of stay at Rushay

Rushay is a charming spacious property, even the adults were still getting lost by the end of the week and for the children 4,5 and 8 it was perfect for hide and seek and treasure hunts! The dining room worked beautifully for large gatherings in the evenings, and with the help of the second kitchen in the stable block we were able to cater for all. The tennis court was well used when weather permitted. All in all it was a lovely base to explore the local area and to retreat to at the end of the day.

Beautiful spacious gathering house

We had a lovely, lovely time at our stay! The house is absolute magic, and ideal for large family gatherings. Jason has a great eye for design. Ample space, with a great floor plan. The kids loved playing tag from room to room and the adults enjoyed that we didn’t feel on top of one another. The house is well stocked, we were a group of 20, and had enough silverware and plates- not to mention the large gathering table which worked just as well for meals and late nights games. The tennis court was a bonus, it was well kept. The location is great, nothing was too far and I had an easy time communicating with Jason. Couldn’t recommend it enough. We had the odd spider web, and flies inside the home but nothing to ruin the experience. Fabulous stay. Thanks for sharing your home with us.
