  • Perfect hideaway for both relaxation-seekers and sports-enthusiasts alike 
  • Soak up the fresh sea air in this peaceful location tucked away down a private farm lane
  • Ideal for beach lovers with direct walks from your front door to the nearest beach
Property code: OC-DC087

With a footpath across the fields to the South West Coast Path and Seatown beach, this property enjoys excellent access to local amenities and beauty spots. Walk under a mile to the nearby shingle beach and inhale revitalising lungfuls of salty, sea air. No trip to the area would be complete without visiting the stunning Golden Cap, 2 miles away. Only 0.5 miles inland, the local thatched pub is worth a visit, too, for a drink in the sunny beer garden or hot meal by the fire. For the best of culture and coast, drive 7.5 miles to Lyme Regis, the ‘Pearl of Dorset’, to wander past colourful beach huts and visit the town’s many beaches.

The middle property in a row of three, this delightful barn conversion is set amongst former farm buildings and boasts delightful countryside views towards the coastline. Providing ample space, privacy and style, every aspect of the property’s interior has been carefully thought out. Step into the entrance hall and kick off your shoes. A small WC is located off the hallway, before you step through to the light and airy open-plan living area. A delightful open space, the lounge/kitchen/diner manages to have both a warm, cosy feel as well as plenty of room to spread out. Melt into one of the lounge’s cosy sofas and turn on the Smart TV or look out through the French doors onto the gravel terrace outside. In the winter, an electric effect wood burner provides a welcome addition, throwing a radiant glow across the room. Backing onto the lounge is the kitchen; a stylish, well-provisioned space which has everything you could need for your stay, including a breakfast bar and more. Amongst the many utensils and appliances, you will find an oven with electric hob, a fridge, a freezer, a microwave, a toaster and a kettle. A dishwasher is even provided for post-meal harmony. To complete the living area, a dining table sits to one side of the room, basking in light from the windows. Upstairs, many of the rooms enjoy fantastic countryside views. Home to three bedrooms, your guests can take their pick from a king-size bedroom which has TV/DVD, a twin bedroom and a single bedroom with a pull-out bed stored below (on request at time of booking). Also upstairs is the family bathroom, including a bath with a shower overhead, WC and a heated towel rail.

Stepping outside, there is a fenced gravel garden to the rear where you can make use of a sunny terrace and a BBQ. You can also feel free to explore the shared recreational lawns close by. Making life a little easier for groups, there is also dedicated parking available for two cars.

The property is very clean and tidy and in a fantastic location. It is the most well equipped cottage I have ever stayed at - everything you could think of was there. Beds are comfy and good towels and linen. Check in process with key safe was easy and folder of info in the property was great. The only downside I would say is that while the propertRead morey sleeps 6 I dont think its particularly suited to that many in the lounge area and the garden furniture doesnt really allow for 6. We were a family of 2 adults and 3 teens and dogs and it was a squeeze in these spaces. Also the water supply only allowed for 2 very quick showers before running out. On our last day 4 of us couldnt shower before check out as we didnt have time for water to heat up after one shower and the washing up. The place is lovely and I think would def suit a smaller party or people not fussed about showers! Overall a lovely stay Hide

We recently stayed at this cottage and overall had a pleasant stay. The location was ideal for exploring the area and the property was bright, spacious and very dog friendly, with a secure enclosed outdoor space. However, we did feel the cottage is in need of updating. The dcor felt dated throughout and the kitchen and bathroom would benefit from Read morerefurbishment. We also felt the cleanliness could have been improved in places. That said, the cottage has great potential due to its size and location and, with some updating and attention to detail, could be a lovely place to stay. Hide

Larch Barn is the ideal getaway location - a lovely converted barn in a farm off the main road. Perfectly located for walks to the beach and a few minutes drive from Bridport, Charmouth and Lyme. We were a family of four looking for a break over Christmas and it was just perfect

Loved Larch Barn, the location is fabulous, we could walk our dogs from there without needing the car. The enclosed garden was also really helpful with two dogs. It felt really homely and cosy inside, it was warm in March without needing any heating. Lovely views from the bedrooms upstairs, everything was clean and we appreciated all the welcome goRead moreodies, including a bottle of wine. We walked up to Golden Cap from the cottage, then to the Anchor, good food, friendly pub. Will book again! Hide

This is the third time we have stayed in this property due to its location and secure garden for our dog. The place is lovely and clean and has everything you need. It is a short walk across 2 fields or the main drive to the local pub and only 10-15 minute walk to the sea at seatown. Would highly recommend this place.

Larch Cottage is in a delightful location for walking and as a base for touring Dorset. I feel the cottage is not designed for 6 people. I would be very interested to know if the owners come and stay at the property so they can understand my previous concerns. Regarding recommendation, Yes if all the above was carried out.
