"As the name suggests this is the barn that originally stored the hay grown in the surrounding fields and fed to the animals. It retains many of its original features". Berehayes Farm was built in the early 16th century and was established as a holiday cottage complex in 1987. The complex is situated less than three miles from the World Heritage Coastline in West Dorset and close to the Devon Boarder.
The attached historic Farmhouse is one of the longest standing buildings locally with the now cottages historically having specific uses in years gone by. Each of the 8 cottages' names are attributed to the historic uses they had year previously in the 16th, 17th and 18th century.
All Four traditionally converted cottages are set around a delightful courtyard benefiting from their own outside space and access to our indoor heated swimming pool and Jacuzzi (open seasonally and alined with School term holiday times).
Berehayes is set in the village of Whitchurch Canonicorum, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and the surrounding countryside is some of the most spectacular in Britain providing many fine walks. We are an ideal destination for family get aways, small group get-togethers, couples retreats and a base for walking enthusiasts.

The cottages themselves are lovely but it’s a huge shame that the facilities were not working to a high standard when we stayed over Christmas. Comms were not clear- if the pool and hot tub are not heated due to a fault- tell us. Offer a partial refund. Others guests also experienced power failings. The whole place seemed like it hadn’t been looked after for a while.

About the host
Hosted by Host
Berehayes is a traditionally converted cottage complex. One priority during the conversion was to maintain and maximise the original features of these buildings. As a result, each cottage has exposed brick walls, real wood beams, and in some cases metal work used during construction still on show today.
Berehayes is a welcoming and warm place to be where our ambition is that all visitors will wish to return again.
