"Fossil Bar was just lovely and everything we needed for a week away."
We were made very welcome during our stay esp our two small girls who loved Poppy the dog. The size of the property was perfect and felt just like a home from home. An excellent base for everything we wanted to do on our break. And we would love to come back again.
Thanks to a Julie and Mick

"Fossil Barn was a lovely comfortable place to stay to explore Dorset."
We all enjoyed sitting in the glass living area with lots of space to spread out and views to the garden (shame the weather was too cool all week to sit out apart from the day we arrived, unfortunately. Great British summer!). Kitchen was very well-equipped. If I had a tiny niggle it would be that we could have done with a bath mat to stand on after our showers in the en-suite, we had to borrow the one from the main bathroom that our sons were using. Maybe it was an oversight? At any rate it didn't bother us enough to ask the owner for a second one so all good.
Good location in a nice village - very handy to have the 2 pubs close by, we had delicious food at the Caribbean event at the Lugger. Handy to have a pharmacy very close - we unfortunately had to pay a visit to the urgent treatment centre and couldn't get the required antibiotics from the late night Asda or Tesco so great to find them available at Chickerell Pharmacy next morning. Lovely comfy bed and bedding so we slept well. We enjoyed seeing Poppy the dog (although she did leave us a little present on the lawn LOL).
We would return to Fossil Barn if we return to that area, although feel we have seen most things in that part of Dorset now and done the walks we wanted to (our favourite was probably the walk across the ranges from Lulworth Cove to Mupe Bay - highly recommended when the ranges are open).

"We were delighted by the welcome we received on arrival."
The Fossil Barn is a beautiful holiday home, with a lovely garden, and every comfort. We were delighted to find milk, a home-made Dorset Apple Cake, and a personal PPE pack for us and the cottage was spotless. At this time of worries over Covid 19 we were very reassured with the extra protective covers on the bedding and would not hesitate to spend time again in Chickerell at Fossil Barn. The chilled wine cabinet was a treat too. Our Hosts and Poppy the Springer Spaniel were delightful. The advice and help from Sykes prior to finally deciding to take our holiday despite the virus was excellent and very reassuring. We found Weymouth unspoiled and not over crowded at the beginning of September. The holiday was very therapeutic after an extraordinary year in 2020.

We didn't get round them all in 10 days..we need another visit. The village is lovely with everything you need and the cottage was comfortable, with excellent hosts. Weymouth was really accessible by car and bike. Great holiday!!

"Fossil Barn was an excellent holiday home and a haven from the elements during a very wet and windy week in Dorset."
We were only sorry we couldn't make use of the large garden. The owners were very friendly and helpful and gave us lots of useful local information. It was an ideal location for visiting Weymouth and further afield in the county and, although we didn't use it because of the weather, had the added benefit of local bus services.
