“The Barn was a perfect location for our holiday.”

Mr & Mrs Main were perfect hosts, they have worked hard at this property to get it to a superb standard.It is so wonderful to wake up to the sound of the morning chorus with birds twittering and the sound of the chickens on the adjacent garden. The Barn is a property we would consider to stay at in the future. Stayed June 2016
Mr Gary Dingle

“We had a wonderful stay at the Barn.”

There is nothing we can fault. Everything we looked for in the kitchen was found, making cooking for ourselves so easy. All the extras like toilet roll, washing up liquid, tea towels, washing tablets, black bags were included which was a pleasant surprise as we've had to buy these in previous cottages. The cottage was spotlessly clean and really felt like a home. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful and made our stay easy. We will definitely book here again if we holiday in Dorset. Thank you.

“His is an ideal base to explore Dorset.”

The Owners were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble, they really do think of everything. It is situated in a very quiet village with one pub and no shop as such so is advisable to take butter bread milk etc . The area is beautiful and every road seems to take you along the coast with spectacular scenery. Places to visit we liked Lyme Regis, Beer and Abbotsbury especially, but there are loads.
Mr Wickenden

“Our stay at the Barn was lovely.”

The location is great, although a bit hard to find. The village is pretty and we had a super meal at the pub. Sue and her husband were hospitable. We enjoyed watching their baby chicks (and the adults). The patio is very nice, flowers, nice table and chairs. It was a great stay and we would gladly stay again.
Mrs Julie Sardo

“Lovely accommodation, clean and tidy everything you need Lots of extras there which was handy bin bags cleaning products etc nice and quiet with lovely pub 2mins walk ideal.”
Mr Gary Dingle

“This was our second stay at the cottage and the excellent standards haven't slipped.”

We found the cottage perfectly equipped and clean. Everything had been thought of and I managed to cook quite a few meals without needing to buy any extra equipment. The cottage is in a brilliant location, giving you the choice to walk or drive for a trip out. If we were ever to stay in Dorset again, we'd have no hesitation in booking this cottage. The owners were very friendly and always willing to help with any problems. Stayed July 2015

Mrs Heidi Prescott

“Booking was quick & easy, I had one query about availability as I have 2 Large greyhounds which was answered quickly.”

The Barn is lovely, down a country lane- but with easy access by car to Bridport & all Jurassic coast, good walks locally- we didn't explore too far on foot due to very elderly hound. The Barn is hidden to the side of the Sue & Steve's bungalow. It was spotlessly clean, with with views over the Veg garden with Bantam Hens & tiny chicks from kitchen & sitting room. Views over open countryside from upstairs. TV/DVD & Radio plus WiFi should weather turn inclement, plus there is heating plus fire, but we didn't need either, Lovely safe enclosed patio with great table & chairs for outdoor dining & afternoon tea & cake after lovely walks. My Husband & I with the 2 hounds stayed for 2 weeks, would highly recommend Sue & Steve were about if needed but not at all intrusive. We will be booking again when we next holiday in Dorset. Stayed May 2016

Mrs Sarah Long

“Excellent holiday accommodation, very comfortable, in a lovely village, boasting a fine pub, and within easy access to the coast, Bridport, Weymouth and other lovely towns such as Dorchester, Lyme Regis, Sidmouth etc.”

Fantastic walks in and around the area. Our hosts, Steve and Sue, were totally lovely, very friendly and nearby but at the same time not "intrusive" in any way. All in all a fabulous week, and we definitely hope to rejoin them once again in the not too distant future. VERY highly recommended. The customer service from dream Holidays was also very good.

One of my favourites so far.Great location. Exceptionally clean, well equipped, and comfortable. All the comforts of home. Watching the hens made my day.

Mrs Southam

“The Barn was perfect, it had everything you could possibly need and was immaculately clean and tidy.”

Fantastic peaceful location yet within easy access of the whole dorset/devon coastline. Sue and Steve the owners were so helpful and lovely, I will definitely be returning and have absolutely no complaints whatsoever. One thing my mum asked me to mention is that there are no blinds on the skylights in the bedrooms, this means that at this time of year it is very light very early.
