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.

The Barn was clean , comfortable and all finished to a very high standard. All the essentials one needs for a week away are provided (and more besides) It seems quite isolated at first if you are used to wide city streets but its actually only about 10 minutes on the single track road to the main Axminster/Chard road and you rarely see another vehicle . I think we had to reverse back to a pull in on a single track road twice in a week.The benefit of the location is how peaceful it is . Beautiful garden and I can imagine a great place to be on warmer days and nights when you have plenty of space to sit out, drink a glass of wine and watch the stars. Bonus to have an electric car charger at a reasonable rate to charge up overnight. They have thought of everything in my view. The upstairs layout gives plenty of privacy as well should two couples or a family be sharing

The barn was excellent, It was comfortable, warm, fantastically well equipped and very high quality. It is a peaceful secluded location to escape busy life. The only slight issue was the car charger did not work and there were no instructions. I have reported this back to the owner of the property.

A truly fantastic property, very rural, down a long drive from the road to the Barn (two other properties are also there) the barn is a well built and well maintained barn conversion. The finish is great and the furnishings are of great quality. Everything has been thought through and nothing has been squeezed in there is ample space for everything and everyone. Each bedroom has its own well appointed bathroom. The Barn is in a lovely setting.
