Sue and Ian made us feel so welcome. We really appreciated the thoughtful local treats and all the information they shared with us. The location was very peaceful but close to Lyme Regis town centre with shops, cafes quality restaurants and coastal paths. The beautiful barn itself was equipped to an exceptional standard with attention to details and cleanliness throughout. It was extremely comfortable for our family stay with spacious bedrooms, dining space and lounge areas. We would totally recommend a stay here and send a big thank you to Sue and Ian as perfect hosts throughout.

“We had a fantastic stay at Ware Barn Cottage.”

The cottage is absolutely beautiful and pristinely clean. The owners really went out of their way make us and our kids feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The kids will always have fond memories of meeting the alpacas! Strongly recommend.

Dawn August 2023

“This is an absolutely beautiful home - spacious, stylish, with everything you’d need available.”

Bedrooms are huge with tons of storage and beds are really comfortable. Location was fabulous- peaceful setting but just a short walk or drive from lovely Lyme Regis. Sue and Ian were impeccable hosts - welcoming and attentive without being intrusive. Alpacas are gorgeous and great to have the opportunity to meet and feed them. Overall a lovely holiday. Would definitely recommend.

“We had an amazing, fantastic break in Lyme Regis.”

A lovely, spacious converted barn in a beautiful setting. It is modern, clean, and fully equipped with the latest eco friendly gadgets. We pack like we are moving house, as you never know what self-catering accommodation may or may not have. There was absolutely nothing missing from our tick list. In fact, it surpassed our expectations. Our hosts Ian and Sue were most welcoming, from when we arrived and throughout our stay. There was a lovely welcoming pack with some local goodies and treats. We had the opportunity to feed the Alpacas on site, the children in particular were most excited! Sue is like a walking Alpaca encyclopaedia! Sue generously gave a story book each to the children called ‘Alpaca Chatter’ which she authored! We also met their 3 lovely dogs. Our son is into dinosaurs and fossils. Ian kindly showed some of the fossils that he had, which our son was in complete awe. Sue also showed our daughter some of her crafting work, which our daughter loves. My husband was most interested (and amazed) by the solar power set up, it had some thing for everyone! There are a few paths linked to the main coastal path directly from the barn, which we used to walk into Lyme Regis. It’s about a 15/20 min walk, for most of our break we didn’t use the car much. The local attractions were close by, so not far in the car depending on what you want to do. We thoroughly had an excellent break and ‘the cherry on top’ was to return to such a wonderful base after a full day of various activities. Both our children did not want to leave, it was a very dramatic.. ‘why can’t we stay … pleaseeeeee!’ (but neither did the grown ups want to leave!). Thank you Sue and Ian for your hospitality, we most certainly will be coming back when we return to Lyme Regis.

- Julie, July 2023

Thank you Julie for your kind and considered feedback on your recent stay with us. We are so pleased you enjoyed such a great stay with us, particularly as the unseasonal weather was perhaps not at its kindest. It was a great pleasure to have you with us at Ware Barn Cottage. We hope to see you and your family again soon! Ian & Sue Property Owner

- David, July 2023

Thank you for your kind review David. Sue and I are pleased you enjoyed the quiet location of Ware Barn Cottage and walks to Lyme on the South West coast path through the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. Look forward to welcoming you back! Property Owner

“We absolutely loved our stay at Ware Barn Cottage.”

Ian & Sue were so kind and welcoming. We all including the adults had great fun visiting the Alpacas! The accommodation was spotless, the rooms are huge and so easy to fit in travel cots too. The spacious kitchen was fabulous and was so well equipped. We can’t wait to return again for another family holiday. To us it was all just “perfect!”.

The property

Located on the Dorset/Devon border in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural beauty is the beautifully presented and extremely well-equipped, 5 star rated, barn conversion, Ware Barn Cottage. Situated close to the cliff top and the renowned South West Coastal Footpath, the single cottage sits within the private grounds of a 15 acre alpaca farm. These characterful and inquisitive creatures are often the first faces to greet you as they peer over the hedgerow along the driveway approach leading to the cottage. From this most tranquil of locations you can enjoy a 3/4 mile walk via footpaths and quiet lanes into the very heart of Lyme Regis and enjoy some of the best views along this renowned stretch of heritage coastline. Retaining many original features including high vaulted ceilings and beams, Ware Barn Cottage is a perfect mix of charm married with contemporary touches, with the newly fitted kitchen equipped and finished to the highest standard. The open-plan living room is flooded with light with views overlooking the garden and your private enclosed patio and seating area. Tastefully furnished, the lounge is a charming place to sit and relax with family or friends after enjoying a meal at the dining table. The three king size bedrooms are spacious and furnished with a real eye for detail, designed to provide a relaxing and restful break. The largest of the three bedrooms has an en-suite shower room, with the other two bedrooms sharing a spacious bathroom. Outside, you have your own enclosed patio seating area providing the perfect spot for guests to enjoy some alfresco dining. Guests will be able to ‘meet and greet' the alpacas during their stay, by arrangement with the owners. A short drive or a scenic walk along the coast path will take you into Lyme Regis itself with its array of independent shops, galleries and eateries. The beaches offer a great place to soak up the sun or try your hand at some of the water sports activities or boat trips available from the iconic Cobb harbour – ever tried Mackerel fishing? Try your hand at fossil hunting in the footsteps of Mary Anning along the world famous Jurassic coast. Foodies can enjoy an edible treat at River Cottage HQ which is close by or Hix’s Fish & Oyster Bar in Lyme Regis. Visiting nearby Seaton, you can step back in time on a traditional, scenic tram ride through ecologically diverse marshes and wetlands, then hop off at Colyton station for coffee and cake – what a memorable day! A trip to nearby Abbotsbury with its sub-tropical gardens is a great day out or visit the picturesque fishing village of Beer taking in the pretty beach with its backdrop of limestone cliffs not forgetting the restaurants and art galleries. The incredible Beer caves and Pecorama are most certainly worth a visit, and just 10miles along the coast road you’ll find a welcome at the Donkey Sanctuary.
