Our stay at Barnaby Cottage, Uplyme was perfect. The cottage itself is absolutely beautiful. Extremely clean, well furnished and very comfortable. The location is fantastic, quiet and a great place to chill out. A lovely walk to Lyme Regis is a bonus. We will certainly be looking at booking next year. Thank you so much for a perfect holiday.

Spent just 7 days at this cottage. Quiet location but not too far from Lyme Regis, walking distance if youre fit enough, (were not) however there was a recommendation to visit the bluebell woods and from there we walked down into Lyme, and back. You get your daily steps in.

A wonderful cosy cottage in a beautiful location ; remote enough to provide space and tranquility, but close enough to Lyme Regis and other small towns. The 30 minute walk through the fields and along the river into Lyme Regis was wonderful, which we did many times throughout the week.

whilst being well equipped, a couple of spare plates, cups, bowls etc would have been handy to save washing up every time. One other minor point was that although the living room sofa was very comfortable, after you had been sitting in it for a while the easy chair was not so comfy, new springs needed perhaps! Also during very warm weather a portabRead morele fan would be useful Overall though the cottage was clean, comfortable and in a lovely, tranquil location close to the town. Hide

Beautiful situation, comfortable cottage, well managed and good value. The walk into Lyme is quite testing, especially uphill on the way back. There is much to see in the area. Lyme itself is bustling, attractive and full of quality entertainment. Beer and Charmouth are lovely. Lots of local produce within a shortish drive.
