My second visit to Victorian Barn was as good as the first. I came with my family during the summer and my two friends in November. We had an amazing time fishing and sitting in the hot tub. There is also a swimming pool and sauna and lots of other fun amenities. Claire is an amazing host and is always happy to help out with any requests. As is Stephen who took my son fishing during the summer. There are massive carp, bream and perch in the three lakes. Definitely going back next year. The prices are very reasonable also.
Response from Property: Dear Deviantmotion Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing to stay with us again! It’s fantastic to hear that both your summer family visit and November getaway with friends were equally memorable. We are so pleased you enjoyed fishing in our lakes and relaxing in the hot tub. I am thrilled to have been part of your stay, and I be sure to pass along your praise. Looking forward to welcoming you back next year for more fun, fishing, and relaxation! With very best wishes Claire and the team from The Victorian Barn Dorset

Fantastic stay with 2 boys (5 and 11). We loved the swimming pool, especially being able to book a private hour each day. We also made good use of the hot tub, games and activity rooms. Everything was clean and well maintained. Great base to explore the Jurassic Coast!

We have moved to the area and the pool was recommended. The pool was warm and the whole area was clean. We will definitely be back and will book in New Year. I'm also looking forward to book the fishing lake as I have looked at their lakes on line and looks promising.

We had a wonderful few days at the Victorian Barn. Such peace and quiet I’ve not heard in many years. Wild life visiting daily. Lakes for fishing. British countryside. We enjoyed the swimming pool and hot tub daily and just relaxing on the patio. Thank you Victorian Barn for a unique experience.

The Victorian Barn was set in a beautiful scenic location. I enjoyed many morning walks. Our accommodation was modern & clean. I loved it and so did my children and family! To get to local shops, pubs & amenities it was a minimum of a 20 min drive but that didn’t bother us. It’s nice to be out in the sticks. That’s the whole vibe. The local pubs have great food. You can get a good delivery from Tesco.

I am a weekly Day Visitor to use the Swimming Pool. Clean, warm water and great for a private swim in lovely surroundings. The changing rooms and WC's are well presented and maintained. Free parking area outside the pool is very handy. Staff very helpful.

What a great find! Only stayed here for one night with friends but wish we had longer. The place is spotless inside and out. The views are beautiful and Claire is the most attentive host. Nothing is too much trouble. We are already looking at coming back this time with the children as they would love all the onsite facilities.

The Victorian Barn’s fantastic facilities suited everyone in our family group (from a 2 year old to 75 year olds!). The pool is a perfect temperature and it’s lovely to be able to book sessions just for your group. The accommodation is comfortable, clean and well equipped. Every query we had was answered immediately by the friendly team. Thank you for a wonderful holiday!

Great place to stay for a family. Was wonderful for the kids to get away and have freedom after lockdown. The owners were very accommodating and helpful and even left a card and box of chocolates for my daughter's birthday, which she loved. The kids loved the pool and the games room was great. The surroundings and views were beautiful. It is literally in the middle of no where and perfect to get away from life and chill in peace and quiet. The cottage was large which was great with 4 kids. It was quite sparse and a little dated but very clean. The upstairs was bright and bedrooms lovely. The bed was very comfy and bedding and pillows sumptuous. The hottub was wonderful. Hot and bubbly and perfect for relaxing early evening and taking in the views and peace and quiet.

We hired the whole site for our yearly and last rugby tour for our u17/u18s group and parents. We had the best time. Clare was fabulous helping us through the booking process and seeing to anything we asked for,whilst there. The hall is a great space for coming together and the grounds are so picturesque. There's plenty to do swimming pool /sauna & games room and they are all looked after very well. We hired a silent disco ,which Clare took delivery of and waited for the pick up too,nothing was too much trouble. Thank you for a great stay.

I booked The Victorian Barn for my best friends hen weekend, and we were not disappointed. Firstly, Claire and Penny are so helpful! Prior to our arrival I had some questions and was looking for recommendations of place to eat out in the local area. They emailed me places to go and how far it was to get to each of them. On arrival the accommodation we had booked had had a leak (the rain was torrential that day) so we were upgraded to a bigger property. The property itself was AMAZING! Lovely and spacious, everything you could need, clean, nice bedding and pillows and lovely towels. The grounds are beautiful, lots of areas to sit and enjoy the scenery and if you have little ones with you there are things for them to do - a swing, slide and an activity centre. Our property had a hot tub, which was Devine! The pool is great, it’s big, clean, the inside of the building is great, there is also a sauna. There is nothing I would have changed about our stay! Thank you Claire and Penny, our hen weekend was really special!

The space was good, but some of the beds very hard and uncomfortable. Check in was 4PM and checkout 10AM, so we felt like we lost a day, and it wasn't cheap. Asked for a late checkout and it's £200 per property (even a two bed) for an extra two hours. No shampoo/shower gel in bathrooms. The pool was good, accommodation clean etc but overall disappointing
Response from Property: Dear mattc170 Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We're delighted to hear that you found the space good, the pool enjoyable, and the accommodation clean – we strive to provide a comfortable and clean environment for our guests. We are also thrilled you gave us 5* for our location which is absolutely stunning. Regarding the beds, we apologise if they didn't meet your expectations. We usually receive positive comments about the comfort of our memory foam mattresses, but we understand that preferences can vary. As for check-in and check-out times, we appreciate your understanding of our policy. We aim to clearly communicate these times on our website to ensure that our guests can plan their stay accordingly. Late check-out requests are subject to availability as it involves additional resources and staff coordination. We're sorry to hear about the disappointment regarding the absence of shampoo and shower gel. Our policy is to provide hand soap, which is indicated on our website before booking. We truly value your feedback, and it's our hope that, overall, you had a memorable time celebrating your mother's special occasion. If there's anything more you'd like to share or discuss, please feel free to reach out to us directly. With very best regards Claire

This is our second time at The Victorian Barn, We again stayed in Hollywood. This holiday puts you in instant relaxation mode, it has everything you need plus the bonus of a hot tub. You have so much space around you, everywhere is clean, the fishing lake is beautiful & perfect if you enjoy fishing. The swimming pool is lovely and warm. Lots of lovely places to eat near by. Perfect in every way.
