“A very clean, spacious and well appointed accommodation in a beautiful setting.”

- Martin, April 2022
Amy April 2022

“Very comfortable and clean.”

Everything you could possibly want at hand. Would definitely recommend.

- Amy, April 2022
Peter March 2022

“New Barn and its surrounding properties is one of the nicest cottages we have used.”

Ideal for dog walkers and Hedge End Farm is very helpful to its guests by allowing access to all of its farm tracks. A most enlightened feature. We would like to return in the future.

- Peter, March 2022
Jane November 2021

“We had a lovely stay - thank you.”

New Barn was great and the walk opposite through the woods was wonderful. Log burners look nice but are a bit of a faff!

- Jane, November 2021
Richard October 2021

“New Barn is in a lovely country location but close to some of the Dorset beauty spots, plenty of woodland walks too.”

Wouldn't hesitate to stay at New Barn again.

- Richard, October 2021
Stephen August 2021

“We had 3 sykes cottages with 11 of us plus 2 dogs staying.”

Dont know where else this could have happened ? so great for large families or group of friends. We all enjoyed the games room. The cottages were isolated - so doing anything else apart from walking involve car drives.

- Stephen, August 2021
Karandip April 2021

“The cottage was clean, however under the dining table and coffee tables there was dirt & dust etc.”

However overall we were very pleasd with our second booking through Sykes.

Lovely location well kept grounds friendly staff accomodation was great Enjoyed our week at New Barn weather could not have been better for September

Lindsey September 2020

“Clean, well equipped property, all on one level.”

This property was perfect!

- Lindsey, September 2020
Patricia September 2020

“We loved the cottage and particularly appreciated how clean it was under the current Covid situation.”

It was well equipped and the small enclosed lawn on the front of each property meant it was very dog and children safe. The layout of the six cottages enables each cottage to have plenty of windows facing the central lawn without sacrificing privacy. We have already booked two of the cottages for Christmas. A couple of small telephone queries prior to our stay were answered very swiftly by the cheerful manager Leanne. My only grumble would be that our mixed age party all felt that the beds although good quality, were very hard.

- Patricia, September 2020
Sarah August 2020

“This place was lovely and quiet and very clean.”

The only downsides were the amount of flies (we put fly tapes up and still there were so many of them) and the gurgling of the water pipe in the bath; this did disturb my sleep one night.

- Sarah, August 2020
Angela July 2020

“Negatives: - The closure of the advertised Games Room - The huge amount of flies that prevented the door being left open.”

We had to regularly use the fly papers, which stick to everything, and fly spray! - No seat cushions or other chairs to sit on outside in the lovely sun. - The bathroom sink hot tap being out of order for 5 of our days and a lack of communication about its repair. - Not much storage space or even a cupboard for Hoover etc. - Towels for showering too small Positives: - Very clean with nice bathrooms and kitchen. - Nice quiet rural location.

- Angela, July 2020
Veronica March 2020

“Very pleasant barn situated in a beautiful barn complex very relaxing weekend thank you TeamSykes”

- Veronica, March 2020
Gary October 2019

“The cottage was very good, fitted out to a high standard with a lot of thought given to providing us with most of what we needed on arrival.”

So not just tea bags but a bottle of milk in the fridge and a Belgium Chocolate Fudge cake, logs, kindling,firelighters and matches for the log burner, clean and comfortable furniture etc. We will be going back.

- Gary, October 2019
Karen July 2019

“Great, well appointed cottage, one of just six on a farm outside Winterborne Strickland near Blandford Forum.”

Clean, everything works, lots of unexpected extras such as the ability to log into Netflix and Amazon Prime on the TV and electric charging points in the small car park. I’d recommend to family and friends and we’d stay here again.

- Karen, July 2019
M May 2019

“The property was rather tired and a very muddled mishmash mash of cooking equipment, too many of one sort of utensils and none at all of another which you could have done with.”

It needs a rethink . The shower heads and pressure was none adjustable, it was far to high and was quite uncomfortable to use . It also needs a rethink. Other than that not too bad.

- M, May 2019
Geoffrey April 2019

“Well thought out holiday cottage complex in beautiful Dorset village location.”

- Geoffrey, April 2019

- J, March 2019
Tony March 2019

“Lovely little cottage with everything you need, the enclosed garden was a must for us as have two small dogs.”

Inside the cottage it was very clean and very well equipped. Very good area to check out to Dorset. Highly recommended.

- Tony, March 2019
Tina February 2019

“A fantastic little cottage that suited our needs.”

A great location to get to anywhere around Dorset, particularly the coast and beaches. A lovely local pub, The Crown, which serves great food and has friendly, welcoming staff. A few nice little outdoor walks in the local area. No convenience shops nearby. A short 10-15 minutes drive to the local Tesco. Stock up on supplies on the way to the cottage. Highly recommend this cottage.

- Tina, February 2019
Joanna December 2018

“We spent our first Christmas with just two of us and the dogs at new barn (we have been together over 30years) and we had a great time.”

Great location you can start your walks from just across the road. Well thought out design to ensure comfort all round. Great facilities would recommend any body thinking of going to Dorset to chose this location as it is easy to visit many great places from this base

- Joanna, December 2018
John November 2018

“Great facilities, warm comfortable, nice fenced garden which was super so our two dog's could have an area to play and explore without bothering anyone else.”

The games was a plus and I now know I am not very good at Air Hockey. There are lots of places to visit that are not too far away plus the village pub was friendly and made you at home "The Crown" is only 1mile away and worth a visit.

- John, November 2018
Hilary October 2018

“Was everything and more.”

The CAKE.milk,tea coffee and sugar appreciated. All information in folder. Washing machine dishwasher a bonus. We can't wait to return only down side was living so far away and all the road works.

- Hilary, October 2018
Caroline October 2018

“Every little detail had been covered in our property to make our stay comfortable and thoroughly enjoyable.”

- Caroline, October 2018
Andrew August 2018

“Had a great and relaxing holiday.”

- Andrew, August 2018

This cottage is on a complex of an old stable yard, and the facilities were first class - will definitely use this one again

- Nigel, November 2016
Michelle October 2016

“The Cottage was in a quiet location perfectly situated for the whole coast line.”

It was a beautiful cottage that was spotlessly clean and had everything you could ask for. We would recommend this place to anyone and we will be revisiting next year. Holiday was easy to book and helpful staff at the end of the phone. Very happy holiday makers xx

- Michelle, October 2016
Sandra October 2016

“The cottage was very comfortable, everything you needed was there.”

Thoroughly recommend this cottage and location

- Sandra, October 2016
Laurren October 2016

“We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend away in Dorset, this property was perfect for our needs.”

Plenty of space for the two of us and our two dogs. The property was exactly as described, the information pack had so much detail we knew exactly where to find the best local places to visit. When we next revisit Dorset we will be booking this property again!!

- Laurren, October 2016
Steven August 2016

“The location of the holiday cottage was a few miles outside of Blandford Forum as indicated on Sykes Cottages.”

This gave us a better opportunity to explore different areas with the dogs and we found some fantastic walking opportunities with stunning views. New Barns was comfortable and everything we had expected, if not more. The enclosed areas to each house enabled you to have your own space, allow the friendly dogs to join in with the family sat outside (picnic bench) but also the opportunity to meet and talk to others staying on the complex. We will definitely be booking New Barns for our next trips to Dorset. The only negative I would like to point out is the arrival (3p.m) and departure (10a.m) times of the property, understandably the cottages need to be cleaned and checked for the next tenants but I feel that this could be improved or adapted for guests.

- Steven, August 2016
Jo August 2016

“We had a wonderful holiday in New Barn.”

We've stayed in some very nice cottages but this was by far the best. The setting was beautiful and the cottage itself was fantastic - well laid out, very clean and equipped to a high standard with attention to detail and comfort. Sykes and the cottage manager were both so helpful. Would highly recommend both Sykes and Hedge End Farm Cottages. Thank you.

- Jo, August 2016
Sue April 2016

“This was a lovely cottage in a great location.”

Everything about the accommodation was first class. It made it very easy to have a really good time,

- Sue, April 2016
Jacqueline February 2016

“The accommodation was excellent.”

Excellent value for money. Great for dogs. Fantastic enclosed gardens that were well kept. Situated in a lovely, quiet area; ideal for visiting the whole of Dorset. We are about to book again for a return visit. This accommodation is highly recommended.

- Jacqueline, February 2016
Patricia November 2015

“Great property.”

Every detail thought of, I will definitely recommend to family and friends.

- Patricia, November 2015
Sandra October 2015

“The general high standard of the accommodation makes for a very pleasant stay.”

- Sandra, October 2015
Sarah October 2015

“Lovely little barn for our small family of 4.”

Everything was finished to a high standard, clean and cosy. The whole set up of all the cottages was lovely and everything we needed and wanted to see and do wasn't more than 40 mins away. Fab first holiday as a family of 4.

- Sarah, October 2015
Ian September 2015

“When you arrive and open the door to the property you know it feels like home.”

Our first use of these properties and they are magnificent. Will be returning next year for two weeks.

- Ian, September 2015
David July 2015

“The accommodation was excellent throughout.”

We have extensive experience in renting holiday cottages throughout the UK and Europe, and this unit was at the top!

- David, July 2015
Jeremy F July 2015

“Not only was the accommodation excellent but the whole setting was ideal for a family get together.”

We all appreciated the planning that had been put into your cottages so that both adult and child alike were catered for. Thank you.

- Jeremy F, July 2015
Mr Williams June 2015

“The Barn is in a lovely, quiet location and just 1.”

5 miles away from the local pub. Everything you need is provided in this home from home. Had lovely gardens, with a green area in the middle of the barns. We had a lovely holiday with friends and plan to book for next year shortly.

- Mr Williams, June 2015
Zena May 2015

“We liked how clean everything was, including the gardens and surrounding areas.”

The 5 stars are a true reflection on the cottage and we would recommend this to anyone. We also liked how safe the garden was for our dogs. This is also a very quiet area, great for anyone wanting to relax.

- Zena, May 2015
Alberta April 2015

“We had a great time.”

Everything was first class. We will be back.

- Alberta, April 2015
Russell March 2015

“A very good cottage and the little extras given made this break.”

In a good area for walking your dog and the beaches are close. The local village had a very good pub that offered a variety of dishes on their pub menu. The games room within the cottage complex was excellent - the cottage would suit any family.

- Russell, March 2015
Mr Bush September 2014

“The property was well placed for visits to a wide range of interesting places, set in beautiful country.”

- Mr Bush, September 2014
Adam August 2014

“Property was finished to a very high standard and in a perfect location for exploring Dorset.”

The property water is supplied from a private natural spring - better quality water from the tap than most premium mineral water you buy in a glass bottle. Where else can you have a shower in pure spring water. We will be back for sure. You will not be disappointed with this property.

- Adam, August 2014
Glyn June 2014

“This was an ideal base for exploring the county of Dorset.”

The whole complex was finished to a high standard with New Barn being no exception..
