Meadow View Barn

A lovely place to stay.

Very clean and tidy, it was comfortable with great facilities. Perfect place to explore Dorset, we stayed for Tankfest weekend at Bovington Tank Museum. Parking space was a bonus, as parking is tight around the area and also there is an EV charger in the local council car park which was very useful. The owner Peter was very engaging and friendly. Would definitely stay again!

Great find.

Found this place when searching for a last minute booking and couldn't have been happier. Tucked away in peaceful Bere Regis and in easy reach of Weymouth, Dorchester, Studland, Bournemouth and Poole. The place itself was immaculate and had everything we needed for our five day visit. Easy to find, parking space available and with a cute little garden for chilling out in. Great place highly recommended.

The parking outside was very difficult, due to the neighbours.

No room for more than one car . The place was spotless, no issues with the beds or equipment . The shower was very powerful . If you need a place with a view , this is not the place for sitting out and enjoying it . The pubs in the village are not very good for food , as we found to our cost the first night we were there . The local shop was very handy ( NISA) , very well stocked . The property is very well situated for visiting local attractions like, The Tank Museum , Corfe Castle , Lulworth Cove , Durdle Door , also Monkey World was close by as well , which , unfortunately we didn’t visit .

An enjoyable accommodation located close to main road access.

Property was clean and tidy and well equipped. Parking is ample but access was problematic from Tower Hill. We stayed in the very hot spell in May and the property was challenging to keep cool as a result but we managed it in the end.

We really enjoyed our stay at Meadow View Barn.

The accommodation was very comfortable and had everything you could need. It was very clean and the bed was really comfortable. It was very close to a large vareity of lovely places to visit and lots of lovely walks. Wareham was really good for food and even though it was early in the season there was always somewhere open for meals in the evening. We would definitely reccommend a stay there.

Great accommodation, to a first class standard.

Bere Regis is a lovely Dorset village and is well connected. Quiet and tranquil it's a good break. The only issue was the cleanliness. The floor was clean but had not been washed, the shower did not appear to have been cleaned, and some of the crockery wasn't properly clean. We are pretty fussy, and it wasn't so bad as to warrant complaint, but its the difference between 4 and 5 stars. Otherwise we had a great time.

A tastfully decorated, cosy barn, well equiped with everything we needed for our weeks stay.

We found the matress too soft for our liking. Some of the bedding was stained and the bathroom wasn't that clean on our arrival but was addressed quickly after raising this with the owners. Thanks for the tea and milk but a more substantial welcome pack would have been appreciated.

Excellent in every way

Lovely property equipped with everything we needed for our stay.

Milk & biscuits appreciated on arrival. Great location for exploring Dorset. Very comfy beds.

A modern, comfortable cottage in a central location, ideally situated for visiting everything Dorset has to offer.

We were particularly grateful to Peter for his help during our stay...and after it when my wife realised she had left a necklace behind once we got home. Thanks Peter.

Meadow View Barn is a lovely property.

It is ideally situated for driving to some of the seaside towns and visiting local attractions such as Monkey World and the Tank Museum.

Very clean and comfortable.

Well equipped if you want to stay in to eat. Stairs have a bend in them with handrails. Maybe not the best for those with mobility problems. Nice and quiet, with an enclosed courtyard style garden, but no view which you might expect from the name. Ideally situated for visits to Dorset sites. We wouldn't recommend the 2 pubs in Bere Regis but Wareham is not far away by car.

We had a lovely stay and it was perfect for our family of three.

Comfortable and clean with all you needed in the kitchen and a real bonus was the desk on the upstairs landing as my husband had to work from home. We were lucky to have such good weather and the outside garden was a great sunspot with great table and chairs and the plants made it a very pretty place to sit. Lovely area and close to Wareham which has plenty of cafes and eateries and the river. We found both the owner Peter and Dreams Cottages very helpful and would be very happy to come again!

Lovely location and delightful village.

People very friendly with excellent local shop and two good pubs within walking distance of the barn. Easy to travel to local hotspots by car. Barn interior well put together with a modern look, like in an interior design magazine. A delightful stay, many thanks

We've had a wonderful week in the lovely Meadow View Barn.

The property was spotless and well maintained with everything there that we needed. The location was perfect too, we visited Corfe Castle, Ludlow Cove, Swanage and The Air Fleet museum. We will definitely return in the future.

We had a lovely stay at Meadow View the Barn was a perfect location to explore Dorset.

We took our 1.5 year old with us who unfortunately found some broken glass on the floor when we got there under the dining room table, thankfully we took it off him before any harm was caused otherwise the place was spotless. We were also a bit disappointed that there was no washing up liquid, sugar or washing machine tablets it's the first place we have stayed where these weren't provided. Aside from that we had a lovely week despite the not so great weather.

Loveky accommodation, well equipped and very clean and well maintained.

Handy for all of the local attractions.

We had a lovely stay at Meadow View Barn during our visit to the UK from New Zealand.

A lovely, cosy house with great facilities close to our family and local attractions. Could have done with a few more dishwasher tablets to last the week. Overall very nice house and hope we can visit again!

An excellent well equipped cottage/barn conversion in a quiet location.

I can’t think of anything that was wrong with it. Excellent communications from the host. Highly recommend. Two pubs within five minutes walk. We used the Royal Oak, warm welcome and good food. Bere Regis is an excellent location for exploring Dorset from the Jurassic Coast to Poole, Bournemouth and Brownsea Island. Would certainly consider staying here again if we came back to Dorset

Fantastic property, had everything we needed for our family trip away.

Great location, ample space for the 3 of us and problems we identified were very quickly rectified (nothing that impacted our stay, just general wear and tear problems) which is all we could ask for. Looking forward to visiting again in the future.

A great few days at this lovely little place.

Very clean and well appointed, in a quiet location. Excellent communication from the owners, and overall a place I would certainly stay at in future. Many thanks.

The property was located in the centre of Bere Regis village and only 5 minute walk to a well stocked local shop and 2 pubs The property has been well looked after very clean and tidy, nicely decorated and warm.

Good size master bedroom and reasonable second bedroom. Every convenience supplied. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we are sure that we will re-book in the future. Thank you.

We stayed at Meadow View for a few days over new year (sorry for the late feedback), wish we could have stayed longer!

A beautiful property in a peaceful location, we honestly couldn't fault anything. The Christmas decorations were a nice touch! We really enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to book Meadow View again.

Absolutely gorgeous, the house is fabulous.

This has been an annual trip for the past 4 years and we have stayed in four different places, this is our best one yet.Thank you for making it so comfortable and thinking of all the little details, thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We had a lovely time at the barn.

Just a few niggles. There was long dark hair in a big ball in the double bedroom. A few dust webs on ceilings. Because the barn is popular the rugs in all the rooms needed refreshing(not replacing )the second bedroom was a little claustrophobic, really only suitable for young children, teenagers. Saying all this, we would definitely stay again. Loved the good quality furniture and fittings too. I would give 4.5 stars if available.

A beautiful place to stay.

.. comfortable, well equipped and tastefully furnished. The location was ideal for us with easy access to coast and countryside. Downsides... don't think there were any. Parking was fine, easily found space close by for our additional vehicle.

Such a lovely place.

so warm and cosy and light.all very tastefully done with everything you need .a beautiful courtyard garden which we didn't have chance to use but will do next time

My only minor complaint would be that for an accommodation if this quality the bathroom towels really let it down.

The bath towels were small and of not great quality.

Beautifully presented clean and feeling very fresh.

Only slight complaint - nicer and larger towels would add a luxurious feel.

We had an amazing stay at Meadow View Barn.

The cottage was clean, comfortable and a real home from home. By far the best place we have ever stayed. The location was perfect for exploring the area with young children as everywhere we wanted to go was within half an hours drive.

Lovely clean and comfortable property in a friendly, quiet village within walking distance of 2 x pubs, 1 that serves good food and 1 that is just for drinking, there is also a well equipped local store.

The property has a small enclosed private courtyard which is great for relaxing if the sun shines, which we were lucky to have the whole week we were there. Very impressed.

Absolutely great place to stay, high quality furnishings and decor, with everything we needed for a very enjoyable stay.

Thank you so much.

Lovely barn conversion beautifully kept, clean and everything included.

Secluded private west facing garden perfect for evening drinks as the sun goes down! Would definitely recommend and we would go again without hesitation.

We had a lovely week with the grandchildren.

A very practical but comfortable place to stay. Also a good central base to explore Dorset. The private outdoor space was a lovely little sun trap for late afternoon activities. Everything you need in the property and lovely quality bedding is always a bonus. Also, great to have a downstairs toilet.

Very clean and comfortable.

We enjoyed our stay. Nice walk round the nice village. Friendly shop nearby

Beautiful house, just everything you need.

Good base for Dorset explorers. Parking was tricky for a big car but manageable. Beds were comfortable, house was nice and warm very comfortable. Definitely going back again.

Extremely lovely property.

Would highly recommend it'

Wonderfully clean, tastefully furnished and extremely light and airy accommodation.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

A pleasant and well equipped property - everything you need for a good holiday.

The only thing we struggled with was the television. Not being the owners of a Smart Tv we found it difficult to navigate and ended up watching tv on our IPad. Some simple but clear instructions would be useful, but this is just a minor criticism.

Beautiful property.

Felt very homely and we really enjoyed our stay. Really well equipped and some lovely additional touches like the heated towel rail in the bedroom enhanced our experience. Location is perfect for exploring Dorset. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

This is our second visit to Meadow View Barn and it didn't disappoint!

The cottage is always very clean, comfortable and well maintained. We would be very happy to stay here again if visiting the area.

The property was amazing, could not have wanted for anything.

Very clean and well presented. Exactly as it appears in the listing. Definitely recommend it to anyone.

This is a lovely cottage in a perfect jumping-off place for sightseeing and walking.

Just a few small things would have made it even better. (1) A separate bin for recycling, please, to save having to schlep to the village car park. (2) A tiny thing, but a tea-strainer in the kitchen for those of us who prefer to avoid teabags. (3) Some heating in the bathroom.

The cottage was lovely and in a very good location.

My only comment is that it was quite dusty in places with a few cobwebs. The bin in particular was dirty and most of the crockery had to be washed before I could use it. Possibly the people before me didn't clean it properly but this should have been checked in between guests.

We were really happy with the accommodation at Meadow View Barn & the extra little touches didn’t go unnoticed!

It was the perfect location as we were in the middle of everywhere we wanted to visit so all days out were no longer than 30 mins in the car I would 100% go back to this property & would defo recommend to others

Excellent and quiet out of the way property, ideally situated close to the A35 to explore all that Dorset has to offer both on the coast and inland.

We spent a total of three consecutive weeks there on two separate bookings, out and about most days, and still only managed to do half the things on our to do list as there is so much to do and see in Dorset. Bere Regis as a base is a charming village for a stroll around with country walks to hand. The village has two pubs and a very well stocked village store. The larger supermarkets are about a 15 minute drive away and easily accessible, especially Tesco in Dorchester. The property is light and airy, spotlessly clean, plentiful linen, and very well kitted out all round (we especially appreciated the fan during the heatwave!) The garden accessed through the patio doors is well stocked with pot plants, not overlooked at all, and was a much appreciated quiet little haven on our rest days. We regularly watered the plants in the evenings, which was a pleasure, not a chore. It all truly felt like a little ‘home from home’. Our host Caroline and her ‘property managers’ are extremely proactive with their guests and on hand to deal with any issues, eg, the iron broke during our stay and Caroline immediately ordered a replacement on Amazon on next day delivery. Thank you! The property has an Air Source Heat Pump for heating and hot water. There was plentiful hot water - no problems at all. Didn’t put the heating to the test being mid summer. Access, or, rather, reversing off the drive can be a little difficult initially (even in our relatively small car). The trick is, to reverse off the drive onto the lane going downhill, and then drive approximately 40 metres up the hill, do a three point turn using the field gateway access on the left, and you can then drive back down the hill past Meadow View to the High Street. Caroline alludes to this issue in the ‘Property Manual’. Once mastered, it is not a problem. We highly recommend this property and would definitely return Booking through Sykes is excellent. This is the third booking we have made with them. All their staff have been a pleasure to deal with throughout.

We had an excellent stay here.

The accommodation was well equipped and comfortable. Beer Regis is a very good location for various places of interest. Brownsea island in Poole harbour, Wareham, and Lawerence of Arabia places all within easy distance. Loads of walking also. Recommended

The property is situated in a friendly village, which is ideal for visiting the Purbecks and south Dorset area.

The village has a great village store and two good pubs. The staff were very friendly and the Royal Oak staff were also very accommodating and the food was excellent. The property is situated in a lovely, quiet location, providing a peaceful retreat. The entrance to the drive is quit tight and a lip at the end of the drive made it quite tricky reversing out. The cottage provided all the furniture and equipment we needed for our break and the private patio garden was an ideal place for morning coffee or early evening drink. The sofa and king size bed were both really comfortable. The bed provided a great nights sleep. All the equipment, such as cooker and microwave had instruction books available, which is really useful when using equipment you’re not accustomed to. Although the cottage details said towels were included, it was disappointing that they were small bath towels rather than larger bath sheets. There were one or two areas which could have been cleaner, such as the bathroom extractor and 1 or 2 drawers which had hairs in them. It was useful having a heated towel rail, but it’s a pity it wasn’t fixed into the bathroom rather than being free standing in the bedroom, which made the room too hot, so it had to be moved to the landing. It also meant we had to remember our towels before taking a bath or shower. It would be useful if, when advertising cottages, it was made clear they were run by a company rather than privately, as I feel in such cases cottages lack the personal touches.

The Barn was beautiful, we absolutely loved staying there.

It’s well thought out layout and home from home extras made it a pleasure to stay in. It was great to have a dishwasher, a washer-dryer and even a hairdryer for our convenience. We had one or two little niggles but nothing that greatly detracted from the enjoyment of our holiday. The beds were beautifully dressed but the mattresses on the Super King Size seem to dip in the middle - I wasn’t uncomfortable on them but my husband was. The underfloor heating downstairs was great but we had a bit of a struggle getting the upstairs warm enough unless we left the hall door open. I did leave a card with feedback for the owners but forgot to mention that the heater in the hall wasn’t working. I also forgot to mention the noisy, creaky floorboards on the landing - not really a problem during the day but if you have children who are light sleepers it could be an issue. Overall I would still recommend this property.

This cottage is I guess a very new conversion and as such sets a very high standard- it has all the comforts one could ask for and is set in a pretty village with good pubs and a shop.

It is well located to take advantage of the many attractions in the area.

Immaculate holiday cottage.

Everything has been well thought out for the needs of the user. If I am being picky then perhaps a plug socket that incorporates a USB. Thank you for providing a lovely property to stay during our break. Milk in fridge was a nice touch.

The place was basically fantastic, well provisioned, spotlessly clean.

The furnishings well comfortable and up to a high standard. The only downside would be the sometimes intermittent Wi-Fi, but it was Christmas and the local area was probably being pounded with all the new toys. But the bottom li e was it was brilliant.

Excellent cottage I would highly recommend.

Lovely, clean, well presented cottage.

Everything you needed was provided, I enjoyed my stay very much. Local shop had everything you needed and local people where very friendly.

A lovely cottage, modern with nice furnishings and the under floor heating is great.

We had a great stay, everything was as described. We did manage to park a VW Transporter van outside but you would need to be confident with reversing. The cottage is compact but was perfect for the 3 of us (2 adults, 1 child).

Great location for touring around Dorset.

Bere Regis had nothing to commend it especially the pubs.

A very pleasant stay in this modern holiday cottage.

We would certainly recommend this staycation as it met all our requirements and was a very peaceful setting.

The cottage was nicely decorated and had a well stock kitchen, with some thoughtful touches to make day one easier - such as dishwasher tablets.

Unfortunately it wasn't that clean when we arrived and we had to vacuum up piles of dust - it was generally clean just not to that high a standard.

We love Meadow View , it’s light, airy and thoughtfully equipped.

The very private courtyard is ideal for eating outdoors and the beautiful planting makes it very attractive for relaxing after a day exploring the area. Definitely going back!

Lovely cottage in a good location for exploring Dorset.

The courtyard garden is a real sun trap!

Lovely cottage, beautifully decorated in a great village, close to amenities.

Great walks, children's park and nature reserve on the doorstep. Would recommend the Drax Arms pub. Cottage had everything we needed for the week with all places we wanted to visit no more than a 40min drive away. Only very minor points were the drive was awkward to back out of and the master bedroom bed seemed short. I would definitely stay again though, dorset is a gorgeous location.

Very enjoyable.

Excellent property - at last a shower as good as ours at home. Nice location - very well positioned for visiting places of interest. Certainly would return next year if available.

A delightful property, well positioned in the middle of the village with a lovely private garden.

It was very clean, well equipped. Bed was very comfortable. The only negative comment would be the difficulty reversing our estate car out of the drive into the narrow road and the combination lock for the garden was a bit tricky! Otherwise an excellent property which we would highly recommend.

Great location for a family break with lots of great attractions within easy reach.

Cottage was really comfortable - underfloor heating, large sofa, spacious bathroom, downstairs cloakroom. The main bedroom is large with a king size bed and large wardrobe. The second bedroom is small but fine for children and the owners have packed in lots of storage. The parking space is a good size but actually quite difficult to access due to the narrow lane. We would definitely stay again.

We arrived at 11pm to an amazing little barn .

well presented ,clean and minimalist but an a bundance of home comforts.there was everything we needed and was a very pretty village. It was very restful week for us and thtoughly enjoyed our stay 15 out of 10 well done the information we were given was very informative

An extremely light and airy property, practical and thoughtfully equipped.

It’s well situated for the coast and for visiting this beautiful part of Dorset.

Meadow View Barn is a beautifully designed holiday home in the pretty village of Bere Regis.

Bere Regis is a great location and an easy drive to many beautiful beaches, Corfe Castle and Poole Harbour. We enjoyed The Etches Collection Museum at Kimmeridge Bay, Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens and cliff top walks to Old Harry Rocks and Dancing Ledge. Barbara and David

The barn was comfortable and clean, tastefully furnished and well appointed.

The location is quiet, but perfectly located, near the local shop and pub, with some lovely walks nearby. A perfect base for heading further afield in the car to explore Dorset too. The host was a pleasure to deal with. The neighbours were friendly and kind, but unobtrusive. We enjoyed a wonderful stay and we hope to return.

What a lovely property to stay in.

Exceptionally clean, and well furnished. Attention to detail was noted immediately. Information pack was well detailed. Welcome goodies was a lovely touch and in every room, thought had been put in as to what could make our stay more comfortable. We felt so relaxed there and will definitely want to come back to visit again.

Meadow View was perfect for our stay, unfortunately, are stay was not a holiday but a very sad time arranging a funeral however this accommodation made everything so much better for us.

We would definitely stay again.

This property was absolutely lovely, so clean and well kept.

Slept like a baby in the beds ( I never sleep well) . It has been decorated fantastically, I would 100% recommend to everyone

Lovely new barn conversion and central for many day trips out.

Clean, convenient to shops and pub for food and parking too. Only observation is that another or bigger towel rail (maybe heated) in the bathroom would be better than the current single rail. Beds exceptionally comfortable and difficult to leave in the morning!

We really enjoyed our stay at Meadow View Barn.

It was centrally located to the places we were visiting. The barn was extremely nicely decorated, seemingly very recently refurbished. Everything was clean and even little things had been thought of and provided, like washing power and liquid, sponges, even milk and biscuits! The neighbours were also very friendly and kind.

Lovely stay in this well appointed cottage.

Lots of attractions close to Bere Regis, Corfe Castle, Tyneham Village and RSPB Arne to name but a few.

It is a beautiful lodge which is lovely and clean.

However We both feel that it would of been nice to be told that there is a shared driveway with the property near by.

Very well designed accommodation.

Fitted out in modern style to a high standard. All facilities worked well. Quiet but convenient location.
