  • "Such a lovely, comfortable superbly equipped barn cottage."

    Our second visit this year to celebrate the lives of my mom and my cousins dad who passed away within six days of one another. Ian and Sue amaze us with the hospitality and the standards they maintain, they are unique hosts, long may it continue. Thank you both from the bottom of our hearts for helping us.

  • "A perfect stay in every way!"

    Sue and Ian made us feel so welcome. We really appreciated the thoughtful local treats and all the information they shared with us. The location was very peaceful but close to Lyme Regis town centre with shops, cafes quality restaurants and coastal paths. The beautiful barn itself was equipped to an exceptional standard with attention to details and cleanliness throughout. It was extremely comfortable for our family stay with spacious bedrooms, dining space and lounge areas. We would totally recommend a stay here and send a big thank you to Sue and Ian as perfect hosts throughout.

  • "This is an absolutely beautiful home - spacious, stylish, with everything you’d need available."

    Bedrooms are huge with tons of storage and beds are really comfortable. Location was fabulous- peaceful setting but just a short walk or drive from lovely Lyme Regis. Sue and Ian were impeccable hosts - welcoming and attentive without being intrusive. Alpacas are gorgeous and great to have the opportunity to meet and feed them. Overall a lovely holiday. Would definitely recommend.

  • "We had an amazing, fantastic break in Lyme Regis."

    A lovely, spacious converted barn in a beautiful setting. It is modern, clean, and fully equipped with the latest eco friendly gadgets. We pack like we are moving house, as you never know what self-catering accommodation may or may not have. There was absolutely nothing missing from our tick list. In fact, it surpassed our expectations. Our hosts Ian and Sue were most welcoming, from when we arrived and throughout our stay. There was a lovely welcoming pack with some local goodies and treats. We had the opportunity to feed the Alpacas on site, the children in particular were most excited! Sue is like a walking Alpaca encyclopaedia! Sue generously gave a story book each to the children called ‘Alpaca Chatter’ which she authored! We also met their 3 lovely dogs. Our son is into dinosaurs and fossils. Ian kindly showed some of the fossils that he had, which our son was in complete awe. Sue also showed our daughter some of her crafting work, which our daughter loves. My husband was most interested (and amazed) by the solar power set up, it had some thing for everyone! There are a few paths linked to the main coastal path directly from the barn, which we used to walk into Lyme Regis. It’s about a 15/20 min walk, for most of our break we didn’t use the car much. The local attractions were close by, so not far in the car depending on what you want to do. We thoroughly had an excellent break and ‘the cherry on top’ was to return to such a wonderful base after a full day of various activities. Both our children did not want to leave, it was a very dramatic.. ‘why can’t we stay … pleaseeeeee!’ (but neither did the grown ups want to leave!). Thank you Sue and Ian for your hospitality, we most certainly will be coming back when we return to Lyme Regis.

    Thank you Julie for your kind and considered feedback on your recent stay with us. We are so pleased you enjoyed such a great stay with us, particularly as the unseasonal weather was perhaps not at its kindest. It was a great pleasure to have you with us at Ware Barn Cottage. We hope to see you and your family again soon! Ian & Sue Property Owner

    Ian & Sue were so kind and welcoming. We all including the adults had great fun visiting the Alpacas! The accommodation was spotless, the rooms are huge and so easy to fit in travel cots too.
