The Old Cow Byre

We had such a lovely stay at The Old Cow Byre, from the beautiful fireplace to the stunning views. Everything was so nicely designed and the bed was exceptional! We had the best nights sleep we’ve had in a long time. We look forward to returning and will be recommending to friends.

We had a wonderful winter stay at The Old Cow Byre. The views onto the rolling countryside are beautiful, and we had one very frosty, sunny day which was particularly magical to behold. Curling up in front of the log burner with a cup of coffee and soothing Nigel Slater cookbook (from the Byre's foodie-orientated bookshelves) was pure bliss. Rob was great to liaise with, and we appreciated the welcome basket and the recommendations for local eateries and walks. We'd love to come back again in a different season, as I'm sure each time of year has particular joys to experience.

This is a superb place to stay. Cosy, well equipped, beautiful scenery, stunning views and everything very close. We love it.

Have stayed many times here and love it! Everything is always clean and and you really feel like you have a break with the peace and quiet and secluded location. Beautiful scenery, enjoy sitting out on the balcony at night and looking up at the sky. Town is a short drive, complete with a Tesco. Very nice Italian restaurant too. We drive all over, down to Teignmouth or Dartmoor or along to the Jurassic coast. Have stayed here mainly through Autumn and Winter months and enjoy the wood burner 🥰

Peaceful escape for two, with stunning views across the valley and sheep for neighbours. Very clean, comfortable and well-equipped, friendly and helpful hosts-all in all a perfect spot!

A delightfully secluded haven, if you are looking for total relaxation then you will find it here. From the moment you arrive you get a sense sense of peace, with one human neighbour (host) otherwise it’s rolling hills, sheep and wildlife. The property is decorated to a high standard and the wood burner made for cosy evening by the fire. There is a TV but how nice to leave the remote alone. Lyme Regis is only 20mins away where we found a couple of great restaurants. Already working out when to return.

Wonderful rural setting with views to loose yourself in. The building was clean, tidy and finished to a high standard. Will be come again; most definitely.

I loved it. The Old Cow Byre is tastefully decorated with floral artwork from local artists and with everything you would need. You're within a 20-minute car journey to the Jurassic coast and an ideal post for an rural break. Plus, River Cottage is also just round the corner.
