Tranquil yet convenient, set in the desirable village of Uplyme, Coombehayes Barn is conveniently located and yet tucked away down a private drive. With a large secluded garden (south-facing with beautiful rural views in the daytime and twinkling lights at night), you are just a stroll away from the village green (with playground and tennis court) and village pub with beer garden and friendly post office/village shop. River Cottage, headquarters of celebrity chef, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, is just a few minutes up the road. The East Devon Way, at the end of the drive, and the South West Coast Path, just a few minutes’ by car, make this an ideal base from which to explore the beaches and spectacular footpaths along the World Heritage coastline. Coombehayes offers a plethora of scenic walks from the doorstep (45mins along the River Lym to the seafront in Lyme Regis, 10 minutes to the viaduct or Prescott Pinetum, 20 minutes to Trinity Woods Nature Reserve, perfect for picnics and den-making!).
Lyme Regis is rich in history, famous for its ancient harbour wall, The Cobb, featured in both Jane Austen’s Persuasion and John Fowle’s novel and film, The French Lieutenant’s Woman. The town offers a sandy beach for relaxing and building castles or Back Beach for exploring rock pools and fossil-hunting. Swim in the sea, dive off the North Wall, hire a kayak or paddleboard, cruise on a rib ride, try deep sea fishing, enjoy a show at Marine Theatre, crazy golf in Langmoor Gardens. Visit the Dinosaur Museum, working watermill or aquarium, or simply stroll through the winding streets of the old quarter, with its numerous shops, restaurants and cafés. Further afield, and yet all within a 15 minute drive – horse-riding, shooting at The Tunnel, tram rides, birdwatching at Seaton Wetlands, Beer caves and Pecorama miniature railway. Shops and pubs ½ mile.
Loud music is not permitted after 11pm at night as a courtesy to the neighbours.

Just back from a long weekend (3 nights) stay at Coombehayes Barn. Would highly recommend to anyone. The location in Uplyme is lovely with views over the hills. A quick car journey down the road into Lyme Regis.The barn/house had enough parking for a good 3 cars. The fenced garden area had a swing set, climbing frame and small football goal. A lovely stone patio area for sunny afternoon/evenings. Inside were 5 bedrooms all decorated to a lovely standard with comfy beds. The lounge had enough seating for everyone with a lovely log burner (which we used each night for cosy evenings). The kitchen is well equipped and we received a welcome pack and instruction manual for all the gadgets. The pool was such a bonus, indoor, slightly heated and we used it every day.An area for table football and a games station just outside the pool area means it caters for all tastes. The TV was FreeSat with access to TV apps (which we logged into with our own details to watch a movie) although there was a big DVD collection. All in all we couldn’t believe our luck in finding this gem and will definitely be returning.

Coombehayes Barn was the perfect property for a three generation family holiday and 70th birthday celebrations. The pool was of course the star and used several times a day but the whole property was so well equipped that there was always something to do. Comfortable beds and bedrooms arranged such that each family could have there own space while being close together. We enjoyed the peace of Uplyme with all that Lyme Regis had to offer only a short drive, bus ride or walk away. Absolutely recommend.
