  • "A beautiful property."

    We had a fantastic multi- generational stay. Many thanks

  • "The house is a real home-from-home and we loved staying there, thank you!"

    Really peaceful and remote which is exactly what we were after. The kitchen was well supplied and the living room spacious and comfortable with everything we could need. Every room was spotlessly clean. There was a lot of rain before we arrived, and we had three days of non-stop rain whilst there (which didn't bother us as we stayed in one day and found enough under cover places to go in Lyme Regis that we could spend time outside even in the rain) - this meant the bedrooms/bed linen felt damp on the first night. After we sorted out how to put the heating on, this improved and wasn't an issue. We would suggest that if the property is empty for a while and it's been wet that it is aired/heated before guests arrive. We look forward to staying again!

    G. dishwasher, freezer, washing machine, good quality crockery and cutlery. Fully enclosed garden very suitable for dogs. Very peaceful location.

  • "A well equipped cottage in a beautiful quiet location."

    It really suited our needs with 5 of us and our dog. The two bathrooms, fully enclosed garden and parking facilities were important to us. It was just a short drive to the coast or to places to walk the dog such as Lambeth Castle or Trinity Hill where you can also visit the River Cottage Kitchen. Thanks Again.

  • "We had a fantastic week at East Barn."

    The property is spacious and extremely well-equipped. It was very clean throughout and all fixtures and fittings were in great condition. The setting is idyllic - so peaceful and calm and worth the drive through the narrow country lanes. Not a negative but a point to be aware of - the twin room is more suited to children but adults can still stay comfortably in it. The booking process was smooth and without problems. Lyme Bay staff are very friendly and polite. We would highly recommend the property.

  • "The property is located in a quiet, rural setting neighbouring a working dairy farm."

    It was fascinating to see the cows coming and going for milking. There was no noise or mess to deal with even though the farm is quite close. Once off the main road the lanes to access East Barn are mainly single track. There are some interesting places to visit which are not far to access by car. East Barn is a lovely property with a drive for parking, a fenced, grassy area for a garden and a concrete patio. Inside all 3 bedrooms are downstairs with a family bathroom, utility room which all have good quality, comfortable furnishings, fittings and appliances. Upstairs is a galley kitchen, large, light, airy lounge and dining area and an extra shower room with WC & hand basin. The furnishings, fittings and appliances are all of good quality and very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped with all we needed for the week. We were a party of 3 adults and 2 dogs and had a lovely time staying at East Barn which made our holiday very special. The cottage was very calming and easy to relax in and the views were superb. One of the best places I have had the pleasure to stay in when renting a cottage.

  • "This was a great place to stay and so close to everything."

    Really clean and easy to get comfortable in. I loved the isolation, views and on a rainy day there were plenty of DVD's to watch. Dog loved the space too and I loved the fact that all I could hear was the wind and the birds. A great get away from urban life.

  • "The cottage was so welcoming and cosy."

    We had to change a light bulb in the bedroom as it wasn't working and discovered it was broken and the bathroom lock upstairs didn't seem to work, but it was no big deal, we just used a tie on the door to let others know it was in use. The kitchen was well stocked with plates/pans etc but there was no salt left in the grinder and I'd not thought to bring any

    Thank you for your kind comments. We will take a look at the small maintenance issues mentioned. We hope you had a wonderful holiday. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner

  • "You can't take your home on holiday with you, so it's great when you arrive somewhere that is probably the closest thing to it."

    Well decorated, very well furnished and everything worked. Also, for once, a properly equipped kitchen with plenty of quality crockery, glasses etc. We recognised the property immediately because the online description was very accurate. The garden was immaculate, but it was a nice surprise to come back after a day out and find the grass had been mowed again. Excellent property in a great location. We would definitely love to return.

    The owners have recently made lots of improvements at the property, so it is great to hear that these are so well received. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner

    Both great for paddle boarding and kayaking. Recommend local farm shop - especially the ice cream/milk shake stall!!

  • "A lovely barn tucked away ."

    The upstairs with the views were lovely. The facilities were also good. Our only concern was the double bed as the mattress was not that comfortable and the quilt only reached to the edge of the bed meaning every time you turned over somebody was without covers. That was our only problem that we encountered.

The property

Settled into the beautiful countryside of Wootton Fitzpaine, near Charmouth, Dorset, this stunning stone front barn conversion captivates your attention with its stylish renovation and surrounding views.

With easy access to local walks and the seaside resort of Lyme Regis, East Barn will make the perfect base for a family or group of adults and their four-legged friend.

Be welcomed by an extensive lawn area, dotted with trees and grazing sheep, you will be able to utilise the off-road parking before unpacking with ease.

After a long journey, you will wish to rest your feet with a cup of tea, and in this reverse level property you will find the living area on the first floor, beginning with a sitting/dining room with a selection of furniture, traditional wooden roof beams, a dining table and views across the countryside, making this a fantastic social hub for all guests to enjoy.

A well fitted kitchen allows you to cook up a storm from local produce, before serving it at the dining table provided.

Freshen up in the spacious shower-room or enjoy a soak amongst the bubbles in the bathroom before settling down for the night in one of the three bedrooms available.

Firstly, a double bedroom with homely decor and storage greets you upon arrival, overlooking the gardens and there is also the option of a twin room and a single bedroom on the ground floor.

The most amazing part of this property has to be the large garden where a lawn and seating area is framed by trees and rolling hills, perfect for dining al fresco as your pet reclines in the sunshine.

The local area of Wootton Fitzpaine is one where you will find many walks through the countryside, with the options of visiting the close by Coney’s Castle and Lamberts Castle for a taste of history and a picnic in the fresh countryside air.

The closest town is Charmouth, which offers a great heritage centre close to the Jurassic coast where you can learn more about local history, and Charmouth Beach is a fantastic day out where you and your pet can walk along the extensive coastline, marvelling at the endless waterscapes and towering cliffs and why not try out watersports such as kayaking, swimming or even fossil hunting to see what you can find?

For more varied eateries head over to the popular seaside resort of Lyme Regis where you will be spoilt for choice with local pubs, restaurants and cafes.

Love the Jurassic coast with a stay at the picturesque East Barn.
