“This is the second time that we have stayed in a property belonging to Debbie and Kevin (we rented Stage Cottage in September 2024) and, as on the first occasion, we were delighted with the accommodation.”

Manisha May 2025

“A wonderful stay, home away from home.”

Fully equipped, modern and cosy setting. Welcomed on arrival by Debbie, a wonderful host who ensured we had everything we needed and comfortable over our stay. Spacious living area, hot tub set up on arrival which we jumped into straight away! Gorgeous garden where we spent most of our time with the kids enjoying the space and games available. Perfect location to visit the key landmarks and locations. Will be recommending the Barn to our friends and family for sure! Property exceeded our expectations, making it a wonderful treat.

Satpal September 2024

“Everything was great we had a fantastic time the lodge was perfect , only thing ...”

Everything was great we had a fantastic time the lodge was perfect , only thing I would say if there was roof over the hot tub as it was raining when we came , thanks u so much x

- Satpal, September 2024

So glad you enjoyed your stay , and take on board your comment about the hot tub. Previous guests have used the parasol that is on castors and used this as a cover if it is raining. We don’t think a permanent cover would benefit the hot tub as most of our guests enjoy star gazing whilst using the tub , but thank you for your thoughts. Property Owner
Sophie August 2024

“Wow what an amazing property.”

We had a brilliant stay. The owners had thought of everything - we loved the rituals products, robes, hot tub, garden space, decor and large open plan lounge space for socialising. The kitchen has everything we needed and everything was so clean and tidy. We would love to come back and would 100% recommend. The booking process was also super easy as was check in and communication from the owners. Thanks very much.

- Sophie, August 2024

Thankyou Sophie for your kind review. We are so pleased you and your friends/family enjoyed your weekend in the barn. Wishing your sister all the best for her upcoming wedding ‍♂️ Property Owner

The pictures don’t do this place justice. Every detail has been thought of! The barn is luxury high quality standard, the welcome hamper was a lovely added bonus, we all thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub, very comfortable beds, a bathroom for each bedroom was an added bonus!

“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.

“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.

Stephen March 2024

“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!

- Stephen, March 2024

Thank you for your kind review. So glad you had SOME nice weather during your stay and enjoyed the facilities in The Barn. We would love you all to make a return visit sometime and explore more of the area . Property Owner
Helen March 2024

“The Barn is a beautiful property which is luxurious, comfortable and practical.”

We were two couples staying there but it’s spacious enough for 4 couples/singles 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!

- Helen, March 2024

Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure meeting you all and we are both so happy you enjoyed your stay at The Barn. As you put in our guest book we look forward to your return visit. Property Owner

Carrie September 2023

“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 it’s 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 en-suite 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. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend staying there.

- Carrie, September 2023

Thank you Carrie for your lovely comments. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at The Barn . We hope you return again when catching up with your family. Property Owner
Rachael September 2023

- Rachael, September 2023

Thank you Rachael and your lovely family. We are both so pleased you enjoyed your stay at The Barn and hope you all make a return visit in the future. Property Owner
