About this property
Conveniently situated on the border of Dorset and Devon, and close to Somerset also, The Byre is a superbly constructed barn-style property, with outstanding views across the rolling countryside, and nestled within an Area of Outstanding Beauty.
The Byre is situated in glorious countryside, close to the quaint village of Holditch, a hamlet within Thorncombe, and just a short drive away from the bustling market towns of Axminster in Devon, or Beaminster in Dorset.
With an open-plan layout incorporating a cosy sitting area with wood burning stove and sliding glass doors, a spacious dining area, well-equipped kitchen, and underfloor heating throughout. The generous accommodation includes two bedrooms, both able to provide a king-size bed, or they can be configured as twin singles, each having a glazed door leading out to the garden terrace. Bedroom one has an en-suite shower room, and there is a beautiful bathroom next to bedroom two with a feature free-standing bath, and a large separate shower enclosure. The Byre also benefits from a useful entry area incorporating a bench, boot space and cloak area, a washing machine and extra storage.
Outside, there is a paved terrace running the length of the front of the property, where you will find a bench and table and chairs, offering opportunities for relaxing, and alfresco dining, whilst admiring the stunning views across the open countryside. Also at the front of the property you can enjoy a large lawned garden with shrubs.
The popular seaside towns of Lyme Regis, Charmouth, Sidmouth and Seaton are all just a pleasant drive away, and its wonderful location makes The Byre perfect for up to four guests looking to enjoy a memorable family holiday, or a break away with friends.
Nearby there is also the delightful cottage The Barn 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.

Beautiful accommodation but difficult to find! Access lane is very narrow and sign is only visible from one direction. If you find the village hall you're not too far away. Otherwise excellent.

This was an excellent newly converted/refurbished property in a lovely secluded spot. Everything worked and there was local super friendly support for any issues. Just a couple of points I thought worth noting- 1) we were there for 2 weeks and the rubbish bin capacity only really allowed for a one week stay, given that we had doggy bags and nappies and did plenty of self catering and 2) the EV charger was a bit complex and pricey, I think Podpoint is a better system in general.

Beautiful Byre, furnished and equipped to a very high standard and so cosy comfortable. Superb location, quiet and a lovely view across the countryside. Well worth staying at and hope to return in the future. Only one problem is the sign at the entrance to the Byre off the road is not very easy to see and we sailed past it twice before locating it, but it was worth the effort in the end.
