Buddlewall is an historic farmhouse with vast amounts of character and really lovely gardens.
The farmhouse has a stunning contemporary kitchen with a range cooker, a huge sociable island and gorgeous stone flooring.
There is a 'formal' dining-room in one of the panelled reception rooms, complete with a huge inglenook fireplace with open fire.
This light-filled oak-framed dining-room seats all 12 guests easily. There is direct access outside too.
This is the sitting-room with a wood-burning stove, deep comfortable sofas and a lovely warm atmosphere.
Such a lovely spot for dining al fresco.
There is a superb range cooker in the original inglenook fireplace.
The kitchen is well-equipped. A true home-from-home.
Wonderful original features.
The dining-room still has its historic wooden panelling.
Dining at Buddlewall will be a truly memorable experience.
Eating in the garden-room is just as much fun, especially on a summer evening.
End the day in the fabulous sitting-room. There is a cupboard full of games and DVDs for you to enjoy.
This is the other side of the main sitting-room. The stairs lead up to the main en suite bedroom.
As well as the gardens around the farmhouse there is a small meadow and a little bridge over the river (please supervise children at all times).
Looking across the bridge to the meadow.
This is the main bedroom at the top of the stairs from the sitting-room.
There are some lovely pieces of antique furniture that add to the character of this happy family-friendly holiday home.
This is the en suite bathroom for the main bedroom.
Linked by a door to the main bedroom is this family room with a double and a single bed. This room also has separate access from the central staircase.
Another view of the 'family' room. With the link door closed this serves as a fully independent bedroom with a further door to the landing and access to the family bathroom.
This lovely single bedroom looks out to the front of the farmhouse. The family bathroom is across the corridor.
The very stylish family bathroom - where the bath proudly sits one step up from the rest of the room.
Another view of the spacious family bathroom.
This double bedroom has access to the landing with the family bathroom as well as to the shower-room on the other side. The ceiling is part of the amazing character of this farmhouse!
The door to the left leads to a little landing and stairs to the shower-room and the lower ground floor bedroom. There's a door to the right (just out of shot) which leads to the landing with the family bathroom.
This is the twin bedroom on the first floor.
The outlook from this bedroom is of the near end of the farmhouse as you approach down the lane.
The shower-room is shared by the blue double bedroom and the lower ground floor bedroom.
As with the family bathroom, this is a lovely contemporary room.
There's a handy utility-room.
This is the lower ground floor bedroom that can sleep three guests in three single beds, two of which can be pushed together to create the effect of a double if required, however, they are not 'zip and link' beds.
The other single bed is in the corner of the lower ground floor bedroom.
This is the wonderful view down over the farmhouse from the gardens at the rear.
Welcome to Buddlewall.
This is the harbour at Lyme Regis - there is a lovely sandy beach here too.
There is a huge sandy beach at Exmouth if that is what your children prefer - though there is also plenty of sand at Lyme Regis too.
The stunning Jurassic Coast is just a very short drive away from Buddlewall.
The Jurassic Coast is just waiting to be explored. This is the beach as it stretches away from Burton Bradstock.
This is the view from the top of Golden Cap - Dorset's iconic landmark an easy drive across the east Devon border.

What an absolutely lovely farmhouse. I have never stayed in such a spotless property before, being coeliac and dairy intolerant I usually have to clean everything in the kitchen including drawers as crumbs get into them, not here. There were 10 of us but so much space, especially in the kitchen where several of us could prepare meals and not get under each others feet. The photos don't do the farmhouse justice and seemed larger. We loved the different levels, the character, the beams which we knew about (although the 3 tall adults did bump their heads a few times ??) and the three staircases were fun getting used to and also handy so as not to go through each others rooms. The beds were all very comfortable and enough bathrooms to accommodate all of us. The table tennis table was used everyday (we also took extra bats to play doubles) and there was space for our badminton net on the top flat part of the garden. The peace and quiet of the surrounding area was just what we needed and there were some lovely walks. We all highly recommend the farmhouse, didn't want to leave and will certainly book again in the future. Thank you Buddlewall for a truly lovely break ??...

An extraordinarily pleasant farmhouse, set among beautiful gardens, and surrounded by the most stunning countryside. Well cared for and well-equipped, with so much space and variety of recreational rooms. We would throughly recommend it.

A lovely place with a real sense of history. We particularly liked the location hidden away in a maze of small, forgotten lanes and next to the ancient ford across the river. Good for running and cycling, either circular routes along local lanes and footpaths, or one-way to Axminster or Lyme Regis. The house was interesting and comfortable - much of our time was spent in the conservatory dining room which linked well with the adjacent living room for children to play in. The various levels of garden were enjoyable too....
