The Experience

Walking into this converted barn instantly lifts your spirits. You’re in one huge room with a shower off it, and everything is in here – bed, sofa, little kitchen, but it doesn’t feel hugger mugger at all, instead it is ordered, calm and rather swish. The beautifully-made bed has feather pillows and duvet, the fabric blinds are thick, you’ll find bath robes, home produced organic soap and fresh flowers from the garden.

You’re on the owners’ 17th-century farm and there’s another holiday barn – but if you go out of your back door you can’t see anybody and nobody can see you. Lovely to sit out here birdwatching or chatting with a glass of wine while you barbecue supper and admire the sunset and the views over to Dorset and Somerset. Ask Alice about buying their homegrown meat and charcuterie – they also have a mate with a micro-brewery called Gyle 59 nearby and can organise tastings on a neighbouring farm.

Walking is sublime, either at the coast or inland for hilly strolls.

Reviews

You could stay for weeks and still not make the most of everything around you: walks, cycles, picnics, beaches, great food and local producers, interesting history and sweet villages to explore.
Inspected Nicola Sawday's Inspector
Ray, Holt, Wimborne

A spacious, immaculately clean studio on a peaceful farm (birdsong was the loudest sound we heard) with friendly, helpful hosts and wonderful coast and country walks close at hand.

Beautiful surroundings. Very well thought out re designed barns. Super comfy bed and beautiful weather. Just wish we could have stayed a day or two longer. Alice the perfect host.

Carol, Cambridge

A beautiful, peaceful location. Horseshoe Barn is light, airy and spacious, in fact, like the Tardis... it's bigger on the inside! The outdoor seating spot was great on a summer's evening, watching the sun go down with a glass of fizz. The large and very comfortable bed was very much appreciated, as was the abundance of beautiful flowers from the garden. We had a warm welcome from Alice who couldn't have been more helpful. We only stayed two nights this time but will definitely be back and will try the charcuterie!

Location

The neighbourhood

The Shave Cross Inn does good beer - it's just down the road. Thorncombe (two miles) is the nearest village, and you'll find good shops and weekly markets in Axminster and Bridport, plus two decent farmshops nearby - Millers and Felicity's. You can join the Wessex Trail at the end of the drive and the nearest beach is Charmouth (five miles) but Lyme is only seven. Visit Castlewood Vineyard.

Local points of interest from Hugo & Alice Shuttleworth

  • Bottle Farm sits at the foot of Lambert's Castle, a National Trust hill fort that rises over the Marshwood Vale with spectacular views to the sea. Walk on down to the beach at Charmouth if you are feeling energetic!
  • We make organic charcuterie on the farm. Try some Devon salami or culatello while sipping sparkling wine made by friends down the road, or a beer from the microbrewery which is just visible on the farm across the valley.
  • Bridport's bustling Saturday market is a great place to spend the morning - sipping coffee, checking out the antique and vintage quarter and soaking up its laid back atmosphere.
  • Alice used to lead walking trips in Patagonia and off the beaten tracks of Spain. Now she is an expert on local walking routes and will happily show you where to go whether you want a gentle stroll or a serious hike.
  • East Devon is a foodie hotspot - do a cookery course at River Cottage or Trill Farm, visit local vineyards and try a supper club or restaurant. We are happy to point you in the right direction for some hidden gems.
  • Go on a fishing trip with Harry May down at Lyme Regis, or hire a little motor boat from Simon at Beer and try your hand at catching some mackerel for the barbecue. At Charmouth you can learn to paddle board - or hunt for fossils on the beach.

Introducing

Hugo & Alice Shuttleworth

Hugo has a background in catering and Alice organised tours for the Alternative Travel Group - they were living in the Cotswolds but had a combined passion for food and the sea. Moving here seemed the obvious solution. They now have their own pigs, sheep and chickens on this very pretty smallholding. They're just in the farmhouse if you need them but will otherwise leave you to your holiday.
