Guests say

Yawlings offers a beautifully presented, cosy rural retreat ideal for families and dog owners seeking peace and privacy. Guests appreciated the stylish interiors, log burners, and lovely countryside views. The property is well-equipped and perfect for group stays, with thoughtful touches such as welcome hampers and festive decorations noted by some guests. While the location is delightfully secluded, visitors should be prepared for country lanes and a farm track approach. The garden is great for dogs, though not fully secure for smaller escape artists.

Multiple reviews mention the cottages as beautifully presented and everything feeling new, indicating a high standard of cleanliness throughout the property.

The rural, secluded setting is praised for its tranquillity and privacy, especially for dog owners. However, some guests note the isolated location and farm track access as potential challenges.

Guests found the cottages cosy, especially with the log burners, and enjoyed a relaxing stay. The ability to rent both cottages for privacy and togetherness adds to the comfort.

Reviews highlight that the cottages are well-equipped with everything needed, including patio doors and garden access. The only minor issue raised was the garden not being fully secure for very small dogs.

Guests appreciated thoughtful touches such as welcome hampers and Christmas decorations, though these gestures are not guaranteed for every stay.

About this property

Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and in an ideal location sitting on the border of Dorset and Devon and also close to Somerset, Yawlings combines two superbly constructed holiday homes sitting close together in a glorious peaceful location.

Set in breathtaking countryside, The Barn and The Byre at Yawlings offer the perfect rural escape, with sweeping views and peaceful surroundings. Tucked away in the charming hamlet of Holditch, they’re perfectly placed for exploring Axminster, Beaminster, and the Jurassic Coast at Lyme Regis.

Recently converted and beautifully styled, both properties sit just yards apart and each sleep four guests—making them ideal for families, couples, or friends holidaying together.

The Barn is a spacious, two-storey retreat blending modern comfort with rustic charm. Enjoy cosy evenings by the wood-burning stove, cook and dine in the bright open-plan living space, and unwind in the impressive king-size master suite complete with seating area, dressing space, and luxurious roll-top bath. A twin bedroom with en-suite, sunny courtyard, and generous lawn with fruit trees complete this idyllic stay.

The Byre is a stylish single-storey barn conversion with a relaxed, open-plan layout and underfloor heating throughout. Light-filled interiors, a wood-burning stove, and sliding doors create a seamless indoor-outdoor feel. Two flexible bedrooms (king or twin), a sleek en-suite, and a spa-like bathroom with freestanding bath offer comfort and flexibility. Outside, a private terrace and lawn invite you to dine al fresco and soak up the views.

Guests occupying The Barn and The Byre are able to dine and relax together in comfort in The Byre and you will have the pleasure of enjoying the extensive outside space, and peaceful setting at Yawlings.

The popular seaside towns of Lyme Regis, Charmouth, Sidmouth and Seaton are all just a pleasant drive away, and its wonderful location makes Yawlings Farm perfect for up to eight guests looking to enjoy a memorable family holiday, or a break away with friends.
