About this house rental
Tucked away in an exceptionally tranquil part of the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, surrounded by wooded hills, country lanes and abundant wildlife, yet only a short drive to the Dorset and East Devon World Heritage Coast. The popular seaside town of Lyme Regis, the charming fishing village of Beer and picturesque Branscombe are all within 15 minutes. Axminster, home of the famous River Cottage Canteen, is 10 minutes away while their Park Farm HQ is even closer. A 30-minute drive will take you to the elegant Regency resort of Sidmouth.
The Byre is in the grounds of Bulmoor Farmhouse, which dates from 1797 and is listed by English Heritage as a building of “Special Architectural and Historical Importance”. The present owners, using traditional skills and materials, have painstakingly restored both buildings, and the ancient cider apple orchard. In the Byre, the generous dimensions of the former milking parlour, cowshed, large stable doors, hopper windows and high vaulted ceilings have all been retained, creating the quirky spaciousness that is the dominant feature of the accommodation.
Its attractions are year round, but at their very best in April to May when the woods and hedgerows are awash with wild flowers and the orchards are in full bloom - The perfect hideaway for a coast and country holiday.

We had a lovely stay at The Byre, it had everything we needed and Monica and Tony were very welcoming. We'd happily stay again. Very handy for the beach at Lyme Regis, and the Pecorama miniature railway at Beer.

The children and I enjoyed the away from the crowd countryside and bird-life around us and the american turkeys visiting us daily. Lots of walks close-by including walk to Lyme Regis. We loved the attention to detail in the accommodation and appreciated all the restoration of the building. Very comfortable beds. Everything we needed was included. Would definitely recommend this holiday home. Monika and Tony were very kind and thoughtful owners of the property. My grandchildren wanted to live there permanently.

This property is a beautifully restored farm property (milking parlour and accompanying barns) in a peaceful location deep in the lanes of East Devon, but only 10 mins from Lyme Regis, and various nice hikes. The hosts, Monika and Tony, provided an awesome apple pie and clotted cream and bottle of wine as a welcome gift, and were really helpful in suggesting places to go to entertain our toddler (don't miss the Axe Valley animal park in Axminster!). We had a lovely week, and strongly recommend it.
