The Ark

Wooden cabin in a rural location.

Few miles inland from Lyme Regis and the Jurassic coast. Quiet peaceful spot. Footpath nearby to local village pub, shop etc. This cabin has wood burner and fully insulated. Water and electricity supply. This is a homemade project which is rough around the edges but warm and dry and a beautiful spot.
