Cider Barn
Great place to stay. Central to most attractions and close to coast. The Cidar Barn is very comfortable with modern amenities. We stayed a week and found plenty of things to do even on rainy days.

Nettes Cottage auf dem Land
Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Woche in Cider Barn Cottage. Hübscher kleiner Ort mit zwei Pubs, wo man gut essen gehen kann. Ländlich, aber trotzdem günstig gelegen für Ausflüge bis nach Torquay in die eine und Weymouth in die andere Richtung. Das Haus ist sehr schön modernisiert und hat alles was man braucht. Achtung: Die Zufahrt zum Parkplatz ist sehr schmal, ein Peugeot 3008 passt aber gerade so durch. Linda und Cyril sind sehr freundlich. Es gab Kuchen und sogar ein Spielzeug für unseren Sohn zur Begrüßung. Wir haben uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt.

Beautiful
The cottage was lovely in beautiful surroundings. The cottage was well equipped and everything was very clean and comfortable. It is well situated for visiting seaside and countryside and there is plenty to do. We enjoyed our visit to the alpaca farm immensely.

Lovely place to stay and relax
Fabulous cottage, exactly as described. We loved watching the lambs and listening to the birds. Quiet village with a couple of pubs in walking distance. Great base location for the Jurrasic Coast

About the host

Host profile image
I'm lively, hard working and love to have fun, happy dressing up or in a pair of muddy wellies! (I also love playing the piano)
I enjoy village life, spending time walking the dogs and good food. River Cottage HQ is only a few minutes away and occasionally we treat ourselves to one of their delicious lunches. Yum.
(A little bit of fossil hunting creeps into my spare time too).
My mottos? We only live once, do unto others as we would like done to us, and endeavor to be kind, thoughtful and forgiving.
