About this property
Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, The Barn is in an ideal location sitting on the border of Dorset and Devon and close to Somerset also. This superbly constructed barn style property provides spacious and well-appointed accommodation for four guests.
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.

Loved this quality barn conversion which is in a beautiful quiet location. Suited us perfectly as we live in a similar location. We did think the hedges on the track could have been cut back after the growing season but that does not alter our overall view. Lots of places to visit in all directions and the week seemed to fly by.

Very comfortable, the barn had everything we needed, they have really thought of everything. Comfiest bath I’ve ever been in, just lovely. We loved the remote location too.
