We stayed in the Barn with a lovely 4 poster bed which was special. The hosts were so helpful and made our stay feel like we owned the place! We held BBQs on the lawn over looking the valley. It was lovely to feel surrounded by all our close friends and family on such a special Occasion. Thank you for making our wedding perfect.

The place was so very clean and welcoming. It was home from home with lots of space, fully furnished with everything you need. We are looking to go back next year, I would highly recommend The Barn such a very peaceful with beautiful place to relax and unwind with breath taking scenery.

The Farmhouse is full of the character you'd expect in a 14th Century property. Blackbird is a very well converted farm building. En suite bathrooms, log burners. Everything we wanted. All set in beautiful Dorset countryside and 5 mins to the coast. What's not to love. We'll be back!

We stayed in a group of 6 and everything was cleaned and well organised. The aga takes some getting used to, but it was great to have a bbq to enjoy the last bit of sun of this year. The kids loved the shared swimming pool and horse.
