Hell Barn Japanese in West Dorset

Fantastic quite getaway, in superb clean accommodation. Dog friendly with nice walks also a garden and a games barn. Only 15 mins drive to westbay. With some nice pubs along the way. Would definitely come back again. Also Japanese food can be ordered cooked fresh and brought to your cottage. lots of local shops and beaches to wander around. A real relaxing place.

Lovely quiet spot, perfect for a relaxing break.We spent a lovely week in Maple cottage, both relaxing and walking the magnificent coast line. The cottage was simply furnished but very comfortable. The welcome pack was lovely and got our holiday off to a good start.We used both pubs in the local village, the short cut to the village is well worth finding, cuts quite a lot of the walk.The gardens are secure and very beautiful, our dog made herself very much at home playing there as we sat on the sun trap patio.Thank you both for a lovely week.

Really enjoyed our stay at Hell Barn. Very clean and tidy, well furnished and equipped. Shige and Diana were very friendly, helpful, and always had time for a chat. We had a lovely Japanese meal. Hopefully this will be the first of many visits.

Clean, comfortable, quiet and lovely friendly hosts. Everything you need to hand. Beautiful garden that you can enjoy with family and dogs. Also a good games room. Bread, milk, homemade jam and butter for our use on arrival. We will definitely be back and will be recommending it.

We loved our recent stay at Hell Barn cottages. It's in the perfect location and the accommodation, garden and play room are brilliant. We loved returning to our cottage after our days on the beaches. Diana and Shige's Japanese meals are so good we booked twice! Highly recommended!

We stayed at Hell Barn Cottages (Jasmine) this summer and it has been absolutely lovely. The cottage was spacious, really cosy, well equipped, very clean and quiet. We found everything we needed, including bread, butter, cookies, milk and tea upon our arrival, which was a really nice treat. There is a nice garden which is very well looked after.Our host was very friendly and hospitable, always helpful if we had a question.The area around the cottage is very lovely, too. We enjoyed the walks in the vicinity (especially the one over Colmer's Hill to the hamlet of Symondsbury).We will definitely return!

Lovely !!! The cottages are well equipped, very clean and in a lovely, beautiful and quiet area.Our hosts were fantastic, on hand to welcome us and show us around.Stay here and make sure you order their home made Japanese food delivered to your dining table. Something that you should not miss!

We have been regular guests at Hell Barn Cottages over the last three years or so and have tried both the studio and larger cottages. The setting is idyllic, with the cottages nestled in a lush and peaceful hollow, but within easy distance of Bridport, Charmouth and Lyme Regis. The cottages are spotless, with well-equipped kitchens and plenty of puzzles and board games (not to mention the separate games room) for those occasional rainy West Country days. Shige-san and Diana are very welcoming hosts and always make us feel at home immediately. We recommend trying one of the freshly prepared Japanese meals available to order. In short, it is difficult to find fault. The local area is beautiful with a spectacular coastline and a good choice of pubs and restaurants. It is an ideal spot for families, fossil hunting on the Jurassic Coast and rambling.

A wonderful place - peaceful, beautifully restored barn cottages with excellent accommodation, hidden down a quiet lane well away from traffic noise. Shige and Diana provide a welcome pack of groceries, and there is an attractive garden with a play area for children and a welcome games room in case of bad weather.My husband and I spent a wonderful week in Maple Cottage at the end of September and the weather was perfect. Seatown and Charmouth beaches are beautiful (pebbles, not sand) and the whole coastal area is stunning.We regret we did not have a Japanese meal but hope to return to Hell Barn in the future. Full marks for Shige and Diana Takezoe!

The location of Hell Barn Cottages is idyllic. They’re at the end of a quiet country lane in the heart of the beautiful countryside in this part of Dorset. The thatched farmhouse is delightful and the cottages have been restored to a high standard. The large visitors’ garden is wonderful.The cottages are well equipped, comfortable and spotlessly clean. We had a warm welcome from Shige and Diana and, on one evening, had an authentic Japanese meal cooked by Shige and delivered to our cottage. The food was delightful and we thoroughly recommend trying it.Hell Barn Cottages provide perfect peace and tranquillity in a lovely location and we look forward to returning.
