Previous visitors' comments about Stour Hill Barn:
The property exceeded our expectations. The people in Dorset were really friendly and helpful. It was central to the places we wanted to visit. Our visit to Stourhead was a great experience. We had a warm welcome from the local pub where the food was excellent. We would definitely go back.
Mrs Benson, Tewkesbury, February 2012
Lovely property with plenty of space for all guests. Never felt crowded. Plenty of parking. Really nice feel about the house.
Mrs Masson, Newton Aycliffe, January 2012
Quite simply we would rent this property again as the property met all our requirements to the highest standard. Also the beauty of the surroundings enhanced our stay.
Mr Eytle, London, October 2011
The property was extremely well-equipped and in a beautiful position, with great views over the surrounding countryside. The owner was very welcoming and friendly, and we appreciated the special touches such as fresh flowers and a home-baked cake. There was plenty to do and see in the area, and we would happily return for another holiday!
