Accommodations

Headland View Boutique B&B offers six rooms, each with a private balcony that overlooks Lyme Bay and the Jurassic Coast. Each room includes a super-king bed, a walk-in rainfall shower, and a Lavazza coffee machine with a milk frother. Guest rooms are furnished with antique statement pieces and provide bathrobes, slippers, and high-quality toiletries.

Dining

Breakfast is served in-room by hosts Jan and Adam, with a menu selected the night before that includes full English, smoked salmon, fresh fruit, and vegetarian options. Guests can eat on their balcony while watching fishing boats in the bay. Adam prepares the breakfast using local produce, and special diets such as gluten-free are accommodated.
