The Manor, West Bexington, Dorset, DT2 9DF

The Manor House Hotel is a Grade II listed property with origins dating back to the 16th century. Over the years, the original house has been thoughtfully enlarged through a series of sympathetic extensions, creating a characterful and substantial building.

To the east, the property has been further expanded with a two‑storey annex and a sizeable residential house. At the rear, there is an additional single‑storey structure, formerly used as a skittle alley and now utilised for storage purposes.

The Manor Hotel is currently operated under corporate management. Its food and beverage offering is well supported by the local village and resident community, while also attracting a strong visitor trade. The hotel is a popular destination for tourists, walkers and day‑trippers, with accommodation in high demand from those exploring the surrounding area.

For an incoming owner, the property presents a significant opportunity to enhance and increase the number of letting bedrooms, subject to obtaining planning consent, by repurposing the annex, the residential house and skittle alley, the former of which are currently used as staff accommodation.

Alternatively, the hotel would perfectly suit a lifestyle purchaser, offering a well‑established trading business alongside an attractive and generously sized family home.

The Manor is situated in the sought‑after coastal hamlet of West Bexington, a charming village on Dorset’s renowned Jurassic Coast. Nestled between Bridport and Abbotsbury, the area is celebrated for its unspoilt natural beauty, offering a peaceful rural setting with the dramatic backdrop of Chesil Beach and sweeping sea views across Lyme Bay. The village retains a strong sense of tranquillity and privacy.

West Bexington provides immediate access to the South West Coast Path, along with excellent opportunities for walking, cycling, and swimming through the privately managed shingle beach which is less than 400m from the hotel.

Everyday amenities can be found nearby in Bridport, which offers independent shops, cafés, and a vibrant arts scene, while Dorchester’s wider services and mainline railway station are within comfortable driving distance.
