The Apple Barn

Lyme Regis, Devon

Apple Barn is a stunning barn conversion located in Lyme Regis, Devon, within the picturesque South West of England. This charming accommodation is set within the owner's 17th-century grade II listed farmstead, providing guests with breathtaking views over the Axe Valley's rolling fields and countryside. Ideal for families or groups, the property can comfortably sleep six people across three beautifully appointed bedrooms. Its proximity to the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the renowned Jurassic Coast, just five miles away, makes it an excellent base for exploring the region's natural wonders.

Upon entering Apple Barn, guests are welcomed by an inviting open-plan living room featuring solid oak floors and an elegant open tread staircase. The space is thoughtfully divided into a cozy seating area with two sofas arranged around a wood-burning stove, a dining area that fosters togetherness, and a fully equipped country kitchen at the far end. A convenient ground-floor king-size bedroom boasts large patio doors, a television, and an en-suite shower room, while the first floor hosts two additional en-suite bedrooms: a versatile zip-link twin room that can be converted into a super-king bed and a comfortable double room, ensuring a restful stay for all guests.

Outside, the property features a spacious decked patio that offers stunning views of the Axe Valley, furnished with tables and chairs for outdoor dining. A charcoal BBQ is available for guests’ use, encouraging alfresco meals amidst the beautiful surroundings. The property is pet-friendly, allowing one dog to accompany guests, although it is essential for pets to be kept under control due to nearby livestock. Ample parking is provided, making it convenient for guests to explore the local area.

Just two miles away lies the town of Axminster, which boasts a weekly market, various supermarkets, and the popular River Cottage Canteen. For those seeking coastal adventures, the nearby towns of Lyme Regis and Charmouth offer a delightful mix of restaurants, pubs, and shops, along with stunning views along the South West Coastal Path. Outdoor enthusiasts can challenge themselves with a hike to the top of Golden Cap, Dorset's highest point, while families with children can enjoy visits to the Axe Valley Nature Reserve and the famous Donkey Sanctuary near Sidmouth. Apple Barn promises a memorable rural getaway at any time of the year, perfectly blending comfort and adventure.
