The Barn - a charming property sleeping four guests in west Dorset

The Barn is located in the quaint village of Holditch, a hamlet within Thorncombe, just a 16 minute drive away from the bustling market town of Axminster, or 20 minutes away from charming Beaminster.

With an open-plan kitchen and dining room and adjoining sitting room with wood burning stove, The Barn is perfect for a family holiday or a break with friends. The generous accommodation includes a spacious king-size master suite with a sitting area and television, dressing area, and an en-suite bathroom with a roll-top bath. The second bedroom has twin single beds and its own en-suite shower room. A large utility room and separate boot room completes the attractive accommodation.

Outside, the property has a pretty sheltered courtyard garden with garden furniture, and in front of the property is a large lawned garden with fruit trees affording wonderful views across the glorious countryside.

The popular seaside towns of Lyme Regis, Charmouth and Seaton are just a pleasant drive away, and Axminster with its shops and cafes is under five miles.

Nearby there is also the delightful The Byre which can also accommodate up to four guests, and both properties can be booked together subject to availability for parties of up to eight guests.

Additional Information:
Children and infants welcome. Travel cot and highchair available on request (please provide your own cot linen).
Two well-behaved small dogs, or one well-behaved medium dog welcome (additional charge).
The bedding is non feather.
A hairdryer is provided in bedroom one.
Off-road parking available for two cars. Please do not park in front of the main house, thank you.
