We really enjoyed our stay here. Good quality clean linen, fantastic kitchen space (huge table) and very roomy for us all. The outside space (orchard and beyond) was lovely particularly as we were very lucky with the weather.

We needed a base in this area for family reasons and the position and configuration of the accommodation suited us perfectly. The yard setting may not be to everyone's taste but it brought clear memories of my childhood farmyard! My husband (in his eighties) found walking on the cobbles a bit difficult. Within easy reach of A30.

We had a really lovely time at Orchard Barn, Fiona and Greg were very helpful and friendly. Our only negative was that the bathrooms could be updated, apart from that would highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay at the barn with my family and parents. The property is larger than you think and is fully equipped. The upstairs living room is a good place to send the kids so the adults can chill out in the kitchen/dining/lounge area down stairs. Location is great, peaceful and walks on your doorstep. The hosts were very helpful and friendly and would definitely recommend to anyone, we really had a wonderful time.

The barn is very comfortable. Would not recommend it for small children as it is a working farm and there is not immediate outside space to run around. There is an orchard 50 metres away.

The property is lovely. The surrounding area is beautiful and we were made to feel welcome. Lots of space and great resources! I would highly recommend this to any family! Beet and Branscombe are delightful and Lyme Regis is surprisingly a beautiful beach and town.

Lovely house in lovely surroundings

Greg and Fiona were great hosts. There if needed for information or help, but never intrusive. We stayed for 7 weeks between house moves and arriving after a stressful long day we were welcomed by Greg into a cosy, warm home with a very welcome hospitality pack of bread, milk, jam etc. We had our two older dogs with us and they were really well received and made very welcome. The house is on a modern working farm with offices and a gallery. The mix of buildings and spectacular scenery is lovely with great dog walks on site. The house has plenty of space and we were also working from home while there, so the space was most welcome. The farm location is perfect for exploring the local area with Lyme Regis not far and lots of lovely woodland walks to do in a short drive. All in all a great location, lovely property and superb hosts.
