    “I (67 - son) was traveling with my 91 year old mother and her 93 year old partner.”

    I selected the location because of the ground floor bedroom and bathroom for them. We had a great time staying at the Hilltop Barn. The village is very pretty and the swans, ducks and bird life in/on the pond kept us entertained. The only reason this was not a 5 star rating was the check in/check out times. I travel extensively for work and stay in rental properties around the world. I have never had a 5:00PM check in time and a 9:30 check out time before. This was not mentioned prior to the ...

    I selected the location because of the ground floor bedroom and bathroom for them. We had a great time staying at the Hilltop Barn. The village is very pretty and the swans, ducks and bird life in/on the pond kept us entertained. The only reason this was not a 5 star rating was the check in/check out times. I travel extensively for work and stay in rental properties around the world. I have never had a 5:00PM check in time and a 9:30 check out time before. This was not mentioned prior to the booking. I think it would help if this was clearer in the property description. Check in is usually 3:00PM and check out is usually 11:00.

    Thank you for your comments, it is unfortunate you did not mention at the time that you required a later checkout , as this could have easily been arranged. We also provide early check in when required. All we need is sufficient time to clean and refresh the accommodation. Property Owner

About the location

WAREHAM

Corfe Castle 5 miles; Poole 9 miles; Swanage 11 miles;

Wareham, affectionately known as the ‘Gateway to the Purbecks’ is an ancient Dorset waterside market town. Situated between the River Frome and quaintly named River Piddle, its charming riverside location makes the town a popular holiday destination. Dating back to Saxon times, the town was once surrounded by walls, and became an important port with boats bringing supplies up the River Frome from nearby Poole harbour. Today, the river provides a great playground, you can hire a boat from the attractive quayside and chug your way down the stream, take one of the regular organised boat trips, browse the colourful Saturday market or simply just enjoy an ice cream or a drink relaxing on the Quayside. Whilst seasonally there are also numerous popular events taking place beside the river. A short drive takes you to the Arne peninsula jutting out into Poole Harbour, a designated RSPB reserve, where you can stroll down to the water’s edge, taking in glimpses of the impressive bird population and often viewing some of the resident deer. The friendly seaside resort of Swanage is also easily accessible, where you can experience a traditional family-friendly day out on the beach, or take the coastal path and stop off for refreshment at Durlston Country Park. A real treat is to drive to nearby Corfe Castle and take the vintage steam railway to Swanage. Wareham offers visitors a super Dorset holiday destination at anytime of the year.

Note: This property only accepts children under 3's and over 12's due to the large pond on site.

Note: This property does not accept breaks of less than 3 nights during April - September.

This property offers the following short breaks:

  • Winter
  • Last minute
  • Christmas
