Corner Barn is a well-received holiday rental, praised for its cleanliness, peaceful location, and well-equipped facilities.

It serves as an excellent base for exploring Dorset, with some minor feedback on lighting and bedding comfort.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The property is consistently described as clean and well-maintained, with several guests highlighting its immaculate condition. Only a few minor points regarding cobwebs and a dirty toaster were mentioned, which do not significantly detract from the overall high standards of cleanliness.
The location is generally appreciated for its tranquillity and proximity to local attractions and walks. Some guests noted the remoteness and the lack of nearby amenities, but the peaceful setting and accessibility to the Dorset coast are seen as positive aspects.
Guests find the property comfortable, with a few noting the quality of the beds and the need for better lighting in the kitchen area. The main bed's firmness was mentioned a couple of times, suggesting room for improvement in this area.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the well-equipped kitchen and the games room. However, there are comments about the need for maintenance in areas such as the shower and lighting, and suggestions for additions like a hosepipe for cleaning.
Many reviews mention thoughtful gestures such as a welcome cake and the provision of basic household items. While these gifts are warmly received, it is important to note that such personal touches, although likely, are not guaranteed for every stay.

Comfortable and what you'd need for a short break. Thank you!

Plenty of local dog walks and within easy distance of Dorset attractions. Only criticism, the shower curtains could be a bit longer.

The only downside was how gloomy the kitchen area is for cooking in the evening - some extra light would be much appreciated.
