The patio is private, sheltered and is furnished with a table, chairs and gas barbecue. Stairs lead to a large open landing, two bedrooms and a bathroom. Brightly furnished throughout, the master bedroom has a kingsize bed, generous wardrobes and a comfortable armchair to relax in. The second bedroom has two single beds and the bathroom features a shower over the bath, toilet and hand basin, all equipped to a very high standard. There is an additional Z-bed that can be made up on request, for flexible sleeping arrangements. The excellent facilities of the Colmer estate are all free of charge and exclusively for the use of the Colmer Guests.
These include indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a tennis court, games room, table tennis table, fitness suite, children’s play area, croquet lawn and boules. The outdoor kidney-shaped swimming pool is heated from the May Spring Bank Holiday through the summer months, and the Indoor pool is heated all the year round. The fitness suite is equipped with rowing, walking and cycling machines, a sit up frame and a bench press with weights. There are also coin operated laundry facilities available in case guests should require use of a tumble dryer. 28 acres of private grounds include a mixture of grass lawns, woodland, wild flower meadows, a walled garden equipped with children’s play equipment and boules pitch. You can always find plenty of walks to try, or a secluded spot where you can picnic, quietly read or just doze. The estate is home to a variety of wildlife - badgers, foxes, rabbits, deer, and game birds such as woodcocks and pheasants, and of course, the moorhens and resident mallards on the lake!

We had such a lovely holiday at The Lawns, so good we didn’t want to leave.
We had such a lovely holiday at The Lawns, so good we didn’t want to leave. It’s absolutely breath taking from the minute you enter Colmer Estate, a real hidden gem. The scenery is amazing There is so much to explore , woodland walks, kids play area and tennis court. The outside pool and indoor pool was a real hit. The indoor pool can be booked each day so we had the place to ourselves for 45 mins, which we did everyday and the kids loved it. Everything is so clean and well maintained.It’s a brilliant location central to so many great days out. Close to amazing beaches, popular attractions and a great restaurant/pub just a short walk away. The accommodation itself was immaculate, a lovely place to stay. A spacious open plan living area which opens up to a patio, which is lovely to sit and take in the amazing views. A large master bedroom and a bedroom with 2 single beds with the most amazing comfy beds. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we could need. It was a real treat to stay in such an amazing place. Lorraine and Barry were amazing hosts giving us plenty of ideas of places to eat and visit. We can’t wait to come back next year and many more after.
