We found it easily and loved that it was in such a rural spot and yet so close to the village and everything we wanted in the surrounding area. It is well equipped - we especially liked the comfy sofas! Thoughtfully furnished and decorated - we loved the seating area on the balcony overlooking the beautiful countryside. The Barn is within very easy reach of all the Jurassic coastline has to offer and we enjoyed visits to West beach, Eype, Bridport, the Isle of Portland and ventured a bit further out to the Purbeck area to visit Corfe Castle and Lulworth Cove. A couple of suggestions which the owners may like to consider: some comfortable outdoor chairs would be a real bonus; if there is a way to boost the water pressure upstairs it would be helpful as the shower has very little power (there were only two of us so we just used the downstairs one which was fine); over time your stock of teaspoons has been depleted (leaving only three!); perhaps a suggestions book so that visitors can leave tips for future guests. All in all we had a wonderful stay and will definitely consider returning to sample more of what Dorset has to offer.

A well maintained property. Very minor issues with the upstairs shower. Low water pressure. And not having a full range of tv channels. We didn't go on holiday to watch tv so wasn't a issue for us. Good tip about using a Wildlife camera. We got photos of various animals including free ,foxes and a badger. The views from the barn are spectacular. I would love a return visit. The local pub was closed the week we were on holiday. Plenty of other places near by. Plan what you want to do and work your meals times around what you want to do. Bridgeport isn't too far away. Definitely recommend to any one wanting to get away. Great place for a relaxing break.
