The Barn Reviews

Poonam
Absolutely amazing weekend away at The Barn. Debbie welcomed us on arrival and was so lovely. The Barn was clean and welcoming with lots of games and activities provides.
Very well appointed property with flexible accommodation that really suited our large group ranging from 2 to 82 years old. Debbie was incredibly helpful when called upon and must be commended on the Barns fixtures and fittings, not least the Christmas touches.
Andrew
First class accommodation of an extremely high standard. Debbie & Kev have thought of & provided everything you could need. The Halloween decorations for the children was a really good touch & much appreciated. The hot tub is an additional bonus. Id give tthe Barn 6 stars if I could.
Amazing property, beautiful location. Set up perfect, everything we needed for a brilliant holiday. Thank you Aisa and Neil for a great week. So many great walks and places to explore and easy train into manchester. Really comfy beds!

What a fabulous property in a gorgeous location. The Barn's facilities are of the highest standard with a brilliantly equipped kitchen, beautiful furnishings, robes in all the rooms, and extra towels for the hot tub.... the hot tub went down a treat with the children. Debbie and Kevin were brilliant hosts who were attentive and approachable, went above and beyond. Lovely stay in beautiful Dorset. Could not have asked for more.
Kathryn
Amazing stay. All our needs were catered for and the owner checked in to see if we were happy. The communication from the owners definitely help us have such a fantastic stay. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable and the rest of the house was a home away from home.
Sophie
The Barn was an absolutely amazing stay for our girls getaway. Every detail of the property has been so perfectly thought through, you can't fault it! Very well equipped, detailed instructions and recommendations for everything you might need, and perfectly decorated. The photos are very accurate in fact, the space felt bigger in person!. Nestled in a quiet area but a short drive away from shops and the beach. Debbie and Kevin were extremely welcoming and kind. Would absolutely recommend and love to return.
Our family holiday stay at The Barn was excellent, could not have found a better place. The area was suitable to some of our party that liked to go walking and us oldies toured by car! Debbie was very welcoming, the facilities were faultless, with the added bonus of a hot tub made our weeks stay a pleasure
Everything was perfect
A lovely barn equipped to a very high standard. Very helpful owners. Would highly recommend and hope to return.
We absolutely loved our stay at The Barn. It is such a beautiful property that has everything you need for a relaxing stay. We all loved the garden and the hot tub. Wouldn't hesitate to come back again.
All round excellent service, property and location. We had a lovely time, didn't want to leave! The Barn was immaculate, a real home away from home with everything you could possible need. Superb location, so peaceful and quiet. Lovely garden and hot tub was a real bonus! Highly recommend.
Excellent place to stay! Well maintained. Plenty of space. Nice, open plan living area. Very comfortable & great location. Hot tub was a winner with the kids! Owner was very friendly and helpful. Hope to visit again!
Stephen
Great stay. The house is faultless and had everything you needed and more. The hosts gave a great welcome and Easter goodies to help us settle in. The hot tub is amazing and the garden a lovely sun trap even in a wet Easter week. The location is greater with loads to do within 30min drive. Highly recommend the fish and chip van in the village rec carpark on a Thursday!
The Barn is a beautiful property which is luxurious, comfortable and practical. We were two couples staying there but its spacious enough for 4 couplessingles or a couple of large families. Debbie, one of the hosts was attentive and helpful so we felt looked after. The area is lovely with fields, forests and towns with nice pubs St Peters Finger was our favourite and restaurants The Taj in Corfe Mullen did a fab Indian and cafes The Barn and The Cow Shed were both nearby and do lovely food. The hot tub was a highlight too!
Really loved the property, it was perfect for what we needed and everything was such high quality. It's a great space for groups of friends or big family groups. The hosts were welcoming, friendly and helpful. We're already thinking about coming back next year.
Annabel
Had a fantastic week The hot tub was such a treat The Barn is very well appointed, warm, and a great space for two families Debbie and Kevin were attentive and kind hosts A wonderful week, thank you! Hope to return soon!
Carrie
We had a lovely 4 days at The Barn catching up with family. The property itself was very clean, beautifully presented and had everything we needed for our stay. The hosts were very welcoming and on hand if needed. Although The Barn looked lovely in the pictures it did not disappoint in reality. We loved its peaceful setting whilst still being close to Bournemouth and the surrounding areas. We chose The Barn partly because of the fact that every room had an ensuite which is unusual in rental properties and because it was all on one level once inside which suited the less mobile in our group. The hot tube was an added bonus. Wouldnt hesitate to recommend staying there.
Rachael
The Barn was excellent spacious, comfortable, very clean and well equipped for all our needs. We had a great time and didnt want to leave.
