  • "This is a beautiful property very well maintained and beautifully decorated."

    The facilities were excellent and we couldn’t have asked for anything more. An extremely well appointed kitchen with everything provided you could possibly need. A very warm welcome from the owner and a lovely welcome hamper to get our holiday off to a great start. Very well located for enjoying tourist attractions and the hot tub was awesome.

  • "One of three new cottages around an old yard that once contained a mill in Sparrowbush Farm, two of which have been available for rent for about one year."

    The Threshing Barn is beautifully and tastefully appointed, very modern, and with everything required for a self- catering holiday, with all modern cooking and cleaning conveniences. Though the telephone signal is poor, due to the farms location nesting between rolling hills, WiFi is fine. The bonus is a very modern Hot Tub that is diligently maintained. Daily contact, if required, with a lady, Ellie was available. she was very friendly and helpful

    The finish of the kitchen is fabulous and the layout was ideal for the dog . The bi -folds offer that inside /outside feel which is perfect. It’s light and airy even when the weather is grey . You need to go short drives to amenities , beaches , walks this is the only consideration when booking. The hot tub and barbecue area and the whole barn was enjoyed by the whole family. A great family holiday

    The House is like new with all modern facilities and the Hot Tub was excellent, the house was presented in a very clean state and the location and views were lovely. We particularly liked the open plan living space. The welcome pack from the Host was also a lovely thought. We would definitely stay again as this is a great location for exploring everything that Dorset has to offer. Very well thought out as well with a separate place for the Dog outside and everything fenced / gated.
