“What can I say.”

Beautiful barn in a lovely area just down the road from Swanage and Corfe which was an ideal base. Everything was clean and there was attention paid to detail . Had everything we needed down to the extras such as loo rolls and fairy liquid! Even had a wonderful cake waiting for us, which was gorgeous. Will definitely be going back.

“Wow wow wow”

The old barn was just outstanding! I don’t even know where to start. Location is perfect! It’s only a 5 minute drive into Swanage town and about £7 taxi ride. Not to far from lovely town wareham too. The barn is so spacious and big we just were so overwhelmed at it. We had a lovely cake made ready for when we arrived. We were just 2 couples holidaying for a week. The kitchen is bigger than it even looks ok the photos . Everything there we needed to cook with. A fully working dishwasher and washing machine ( no washing to do when we got home yey) The beds were soo comfortable. I slept great. all bedrooms had lots of wardrobe space and drawers. My only 1 thing I would suggest would be to put a proper shower in the upstairs bathroom as we all had to use the downstairs walk in shower. We felt very safe staying here . The neighbours next door were friendly. Also the price was very good. I could go on and on praising the barn. Massive well done to the owners you have done a fantastic job. We will DEFINITELY be back!!

“Lovely large space in tranquil setting”

My dad booked the Old Barn for 7 of us to spend a week together in Dorset in July. The space was incredible and the layout worked really well for us as my parents took the downstairs bedroom whilst me, my husband and our 3 kids had the upstairs to ourselves. The outside space was also great with plenty of parking and tables for alfresco dining. We loved the peaceful location and our 4 year old boy enjoyed visiting the chickens and cows and of course waving to the steam trains! We had a problem starting the oven on the first day and someone came to assist us really quickly which was really helpful. The only problem we encountered was the low window in the bedroom upstairs where our son wanted to sleep which had no safety gate and he could very easily open it himself and potentially fall out, it was a worry for us especially with 1 year old twins crawling all over the place. My dad managed to create a makeshift safety gate using one of the stair gates and some toy building blocks, it kind of worked but not ideal! There had also been some damage to the leather sofa previous to our visit; the owners had added throws in an attempt to cover the damage but the leather continued to flake off all week and we were constantly having to vacuum the living area and pull pieces of leather from our twins' mouths!! I think these couple of issues should be addressed promptly especially since the property will most likely be used by families. We otherwise had a lovely stay here and if those problems get addressed, we would thoroughly recommend the property, especially for families or large groups.

“Spotless accommodation”

Just back from a weeks stay in this beautiful barn. The barn is amazing and within easy reach of lots of interesting places to visit. The Steam Train at the bottom of the garden was a real treat. Can't wait to visit again

About the location

SWANAGE

Wareham 9.7 miles; Poole 20 miles.

The small, family-friendly seaside resort of Swanage is situated at the eastern end of Dorset’s famous Jurassic Coast, on the celebrated Isle of Purbeck and is probably best known for its wonderful, gently shelving golden sands. The little town offers visitors plenty of shops, good pubs and restaurants, some of which specialise in locally caught seafood, and is also well known for its annual jazz festival, which takes place each July. The attractive, Victorian wooden pier offers a great place for a stroll or try fishing, and often used a departure point for divers, it’s a wonderful place to watch the world pass by. The historic Swanage Railway has its terminus in the town and regular nostalgic steam engine trips take tourists for a picturesque 6-mile journey, chugging through lovely countryside to stop just beyond the romantic ruin of Corfe Castle. Nearby Durlston Country Park offers a lovely day out with spectacular coastal walks, dolphin spotting and wildlife watching, together with comfortable viewing points and a well-stocked cafe for a treat after all the fresh air. Take the short drive to Studland, which has one of the finest beaches in the country, surrounded by heathland, together with the regular chain ferry, which crosses the mouth of Poole Harbour to Sandbanks. This truly is a delightful holiday destination at any time of the year.
