Ideal for families and couples, they are suitable for all ages and there is something for everyone! Smiths Farm is around 200 years old, and the friendly owners live on-site, ready to give their guests a warm welcome. It used to be a small farm owned by the local blacksmith.

The Barn is a single-storey barn renovation, situated adjacent to the owners’ farmhouse, and has a sumptuous feel and high vaulted beamed ceilings. There are two en-suite bedrooms, and an additional shower room off the living room, which is useful for any guests who wish to use the comfortable sofa bed.
The properties are close to some of the most popular seaside resorts in Dorset including Lyme Regis, West Bay, Charmouth and Bridport. Charmouth is the nearest, which also has a local supermarket, pubs, eateries and a fantastic beach! Charmouth and the Jurassic Coastline have some of the most beautiful and accessible coastline in the UK, with spectacular fossil rich beaches. The area between Charmouth and nearby Lyme Regis is the only UK entry into the National Geographic 21 Best Beaches in the world 2017! There are also rolling hills and unspoilt countryside, much of which is managed by the National Trust, as well as the South West Coast Path. The popular seaside resort of Lyme Regis is less than 10 minutes’ drive away; it is an ancient town featuring in the Domesday Book and is home to historic Cobb and bustling harbour, great gastronomy, historical landmarks and educational attractions. Axminster is also nearby, which has excellent rail links to London and Exeter, as well as a thriving artistic community and great birdwatching on the mudflats.
Outdoor enthusiasts can choose from one of the many scenic walks for keen amblers including Charmouth to Seatown, or a shorter walk from Charmouth to Fitzpaine, the Golden Cap Estate (National Trust) and The Undercliffe at Lyme Regis. You can also enjoy golf, fossil hunting, swimming, fishing, kite flying, sailing, Lyme rib boat rides, West Bay Canoes and many other water sports.
Popular attractions within easy driving distance include Pecorama, a model railway with a light railway and indoor play area, gardens and cafés; Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens and Abbotsbury Swannery; Lyme Regis Marine Aquarium; Axe Valley Wildlife, and Seaton Tramway. Also worth a visit is Corfe Castle, which has a rich and ancient history as well as the most evocative ruined castles in England. The famous cobbled Gold Hill and abbey ruins in Shaftesbury, the Iron Age hill fort of Maiden Castle in Dorchester, and the amphitheatre at Maumbury Rings are also popular attractions. Dorset also offers magnificent gardens and historic houses, as well as stately homes, and a wide range of events ranging from family fun and entertainment for all ages, interesting craft and antique fairs, village fetes, open air concerts and theatres.

We were very comfortable at The Stables, whilst visiting family nearby for the Christmas break. The Cottage was decorated for Christmas and we had a welcome hamper, which included delicious mince pies and a bottle of Prosecco - all very well received! The Cottage was very well equipped with the most comfortable beds we have had in a holiday let. The information provided was comprehensive. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.
Lovely spacious cottage in idyllic location.
Views are amazing! Comfy beds, plenty parking.
Ideally situated in beautiful Dorset to visit lots of beaches & places of interest.
Would highly recommend to all.
The family loved it - thank you.

Lovely, well equipped cottage with very thoughtful touches, such as dog tags for wayward pooches.
Lovely, well equipped cottage with very thoughtful touches, such as dog tags for wayward pooches. The owners were most helpful.
It would benefit from a larger dog walking area as there is no easy walking directly from the cottage, but I believe that Will and Miranda have that in mind.

Cosy cottage, some nice touches such as the welcome hamper and the collar tags for the dogs.
Cosy cottage, some nice touches such as the welcome hamper and the collar tags for the dogs. Lovely location, lots of great beaches with 30 mins.
My main issue was with the lack of drying facilities. Our stay was during a rather wet week, so clothes did get wet. There was no tumble dryer, and as the radiators are all economy heaters we couldn't use those either. Also, no dish washer or DVD player which have been included at cottages we gave previously stayed at.
That said I would certainly recommend this place.

The cottage was beautiful and our hosts a delight.
The cottage was beautiful and our hosts a delight. We were made very welcome with a basketful of goodies including wine. Even a treat for the dogs and dogs tags to wear whilst on holiday in case they got lost, a great idea. They were very obliging and did everything we requested. The drive from the main road was a little bit like driving off road but that added to the seclusion. The beds were a little soft and low for us, but the linen was lovely and clean. Kitchen was well equipped but could have done with better drying facilities (laundry) We fell in love with Charmouth and Chissel Beach. It was a great location to visit the whole area travelling into Devon, Somerset and and Dorset. Would we go back, yes we would.
