). Extra bonus of having Podpoint charging stations for our electric car at a very reasonable rate. The only downside to our property was the kitchen and dining area were poorly lighted (we were there when it was grey and rainy) making it hard to see things such as settings on the toaster etc. and dingy to eat. The rest of the barn was lovely and light though. Highly recommend visiting the National Trust property Kingston Lacy and on a rainy day the local Royal Signal Museum.

The games room was very popular with our kids (and my husband!) and the garden area was perfect for the dog. It's in a perfect location too - we visited Lyme Regis for fossil hunting, Poole and Bournemouth, Sherbourne Old Castle and Durdle Door, all of which were around 30-40 mins away in the car. A highlight was visiting Dorset Adventure Park which is overlooked by Corfe Castle - we went on a very rainy day and it was really good fun even in the rain! I'm going to be recommending Corner Barn to everyone I know
