The Experience

Drive past the owners’ 17th-century farmhouse and into your own courtyard. Here you’ll find Meadow Barn and an attractive wooden store room opposite. Walk straight into an open-plan space with a double bed at one end, a sofa in the middle and the kitchen along one wall. It’s not huge but exceptionally high ceilings make it feel spacious. Big bi-folding doors and Velux windows let the light flood in and underfloor heating keeps you cosy.

You’ll find eggs from the farm hens, biscuits from Moores Biscuits down the road (makers of the famous Dorset Knob), a loaf of homemade sourdough and all the basics. Ask Alice about buying their homegrown meat and charcuterie – they also have a mate with a micro-brewery nearby and can do tastings. The gravelled garden round the back has a table and chairs and a firepit with logs (and marshmallows) provided.

You’re at the foot of the National Trust Lambert’s Castle for superb walking and views over the Marshwood Vale.

Reviews

Foodies, nature-lovers, walkers, beachcombers and fossil hunters will be delighted. It's a relaxed and comfortable place to stay and from here you can explore this most beautiful part of Devon, right on the Dorset border.

Our third visit to Bottle Farm. We love the location and the stunning views across the fields, you really do feel a long way from urban life. The accommodation is great and very tasteful presented. You will be welcomed by a vase of flowers from the garden, eggs and homemade bread.

We had a fantastic stay in Meadow Barn. We loved everything about The Meadow Barn and really appreciated what Alice & Hugo have done to the place making so special. For the first time, we didn’t need TV. We just sat there marvelling the views and listening to the birds for hours! The Meadow Barn has become our favourite place to stay.

Delightful bijou barn conversion in a beautiful rural setting with stunning far reaching views. The bathroom is large with a roll top bath as well as an excellent separate shower. The living area is as per the photos ie it is a bedsitting room, the bed was comfortable and the kitchen area was well equipped. There were lovely touches such as a starter pack of milk, bread and eggs and delightful vases of fresh flowers. highly recommended.

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.

Local points of interest from Hugo & Alice Shuttleworth

  • 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.
  • 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!
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

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.
