West Stour is a small village situated on the borders of South East Somerset and North Dorset, and is part of a group of villages known as 'The Stours', so named as the River Stour, popular with anglers, passes close by.

Previous visitors' comments about Stour Hill Barn:
Stour Hill Barn was an ideal size of property for our party with a lovely big kitchen and comfortable furnishings. There were spectacular views of the Dorset countryside all around.
Mrs Smith, Lincoln, March 2013
This was our second holiday at Stour Hill Barn and it felt like coming home. The house was central to visit places of interest. There are lots of places we did not get around to, so will have no hesitation in booking next year.
Mrs Benson, Tewkesbury, March 2013
The homemade cake on arrival was a treat and very much appreciated
Miss Clarke is a lovely hostess and was very accommodating.
Tristan Smale, February 2013
The Barn was wonderful and in such a peaceful setting. We were central for all we wanted to do and found the local Farm Shop to be wonderful for all our catering needs.
