Three steps lead up to a stable door that opens into the stunning double aspect lounge/diner. With a tiled floor, stylish spotlights and fresh neutral decor, this is a charming room for dining and relaxing. In one corner, a cosy lounge area is furnished with comfortable leather sofas, a coffee table, Smart TV and stocked bookshelf, with a pine farmhouse dining table at the other.

We had such a lovely week at Mallards Barn. The cottage is perfect. It had everything we needed and more, was clean and felt really homely right from the off. The area around Chideock is just so beautiful. We loved Lyme Regis, West Bay and Charmouth beaches. The icing on the cake every evening was our stroll to Seatown for the sunset with a meal anRead mored some drinks at The Anchor. We have already decided to definitely go back (hopefully) next year. Wonderful week away!!!!! Hide

Lovely barn conversion with plenty of room for 4 people. For the active there were paths from the village at Chideock directly to Golden Cap and Thorncombe Beacon. Although just off the main road you are not disturbed by any traffic noise

We have stayed at holiday cottages for a number of years now and this place is right up there. The owners have done a great job in creating a home from home feeling. They showed some nice touches of class, that I wont mention as dont want to spoil the surprise for future holiday goers. Great property, great location. Will definitely be going again.
