Bottle Farm
Horseshoe Barn is an open plan barn conversion, nestled at the edge of a 17th century farm on the border of Devon and Dorset. Its private garden with sunset views overlooks unspoilt meadows towards the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Set in quintessential English countryside, Bottle Farm is just 5 miles from the Jurassic Coast and the beaches of Lyme Regis and Charmouth.
Hugo and his family have been living at Bottle Farm since 2015, gradually getting the farm ready to welcome guests. Hugo has run catering businesses and worked as a private chef to rockstars and royals for twenty years, while Alice led luxury walking trips around Spain and South America as well as working as a wine merchant. They decided to draw on these experiences and create a wonderful place to raise their children, produce delicious food and welcome guests to the sort of place they love to stay at. They love the outdoors, eating great food and enjoying nature, they love the simple things done exceptionally well and they have travelled all over the world learning how to do that. Their hope is to offer our guests a relaxing experience and share a taste of some of these simple things - exquisite charcuterie from the farm; a glass of English sparkling wine; a long walk between ancient hill forts followed by a dip in the sea.
Bottle Farm is situated 5 miles from the sea and the Jurassic Coast, on the border of Devon and Dorset. The farm is a short drive from the market towns of Axminster, Bridport and Beaminster and accessible from London via the A303, from Bristol and the North via the M5; and from the South West via the A35. The nearest train stations are Axminster and Crewkerne, on the Exeter to London Waterloo line.
