About this space
Coaxdon Farm is a 17th Century Farmhouse hidden away in the countryside on the borders of Devon, Dorset and Somerset. A beautiful, peaceful space to unwind surrounded by fields, wildlife and friendly pet sheep. The Farmhouse has a large kitchen, breakfast room and two sitting rooms — one with a log fire and the other a projector to watch films or play games. Feels like the middle of nowhere but 5 minutes drive from Axminster town and 20 minutes from Lyme Regis on the stunning Jurassic Coast.
The space
Coaxdon Farm is such a gorgeous place to relax surrounded by natural beauty and wildlife. A small stream flows past the garden wall with a little bridge to the fields. It has flexible accommodation — in addition to the farmhouse it has separate rooms available to book with their own outside entrances for different family members or friends.
See the Cider Press and Apple Store listings for a four poster bed and ensuite bathroom — you can book the whole place to sleep 15. There is plenty of room in the farmhouse to all come together to cook and eat and sit by the open fire.
On a clear night you can see so many stars and even the Milky Way… and often hear owls at night!
Guest access
All of the farmhouse, pool, garden and fields. Other rooms available — see our listings.
Other things to note
This is a family home, not a salubrious holiday complex — it has slightly quirky plumbing due to its age, but it is warm and welcoming!

What this place offers
Guest reviews
"Such a special place — the log fire, the stars at night and hearing the owls made it completely magical. A proper family farmhouse with real character."
"The kids absolutely loved it — the pool, the sheep, the stream and the trampoline kept them busy all week. We loved the projector room for evenings in."
"Hidden away but close to everything — Lyme Regis is a stunning 20 minute drive. Marieanne was incredibly communicative and helpful throughout."
"Exactly as described — a proper family home, not a sterile holiday let. The big kitchen meant everyone could cook together and the garden was gorgeous."
