Rycross Farm Cottage is a tranquil and relaxing location for a break.
The owners are very friendly and helpful and are nearby, but not intrusive. I arrived at dusk, and a welcoming light had been left on which made me smile. The cottage is bright and warm and the kitchen, although small, is very well equipped. Beds are comfy and broadband reliable. The views across the countryside are spectacular and I saw birds of prey and a couple of deer in the garden. There is also outside seating for visits with better weather. If the peace and quiet gets too much, the historic and busting town of Shaftesbury with its independent shops and Thursday market is only a few moments drive away. There is also a Tesco and a soon to be opened Lidl in town. For those coming from the south, if you find your way to the A350 from Blandford Forum and head north, you will reach a place called Cann. Pass straight through and as you get to the point where the 30mph returns to 40mph, indicate left and take that first turn which is almost on top of the speed limit sign. Rycross Farm isn't signposted from this direction and, if you miss the turn , it's probably safest to carry on to the first Shaftesbury roundabout and come back. This was my first post-pandemic cottage holiday and, if anyone is concerned about doing the same, you can choose this venue with confidence. It is clean and obviously loved. You can be as isolated or as gregarious as you choose. I can't wait to go back.

The property is located in a quiet, rural setting neighbouring a working dairy farm.
It was fascinating to see the cows coming and going for milking. There was no noise or mess to deal with even though the farm is quite close. Once off the main road the lanes to access East Barn are mainly single track. There are some interesting places to visit which are not far to access by car. East Barn is a lovely property with a drive for parking, a fenced, grassy area for a garden and a concrete patio. Inside all 3 bedrooms are downstairs with a family bathroom, utility room which all have good quality, comfortable furnishings, fittings and appliances. Upstairs is a galley kitchen, large, light, airy lounge and dining area and an extra shower room with WC & hand basin. The furnishings, fittings and appliances are all of good quality and very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped with all we needed for the week. We were a party of 3 adults and 2 dogs and had a lovely time staying at East Barn which made our holiday very special. The cottage was very calming and easy to relax in and the views were superb. One of the best places I have had the pleasure to stay in when renting a cottage.

A lovely old cottage, perfect for walkers. Close to footpaths to Swanage and Durlston, an excellent local shop, Indian restaurant and a fish & chip shop. Bus stop only 5 mins walk away. The cottage has a tiny courtyard garden which is pleasant to sit in, although is shady for much of the day. Definitely not for less mobile people - the steep, narrow, curving staircase is a challenge. Beware the low beam at the entrance of the stairs - it caught me out twice! The lounge is very dark - lights needed switching on during daylight hours. I imagine it would be cosy in the winter - the logburner would soon warm the place up. The main bedroom is large and light. Comfortable bed and plenty of storage. The single bedroom is cosy. The bathroom has a bath with handheld shower - this is fine however there is no shower curtain so we found it easier to sit in the bath to hair wash. It's a good 20-25 mins walk into the town and the beach - a little longer on the return as there are some uphill slopes. Overall, it is an ideal and comfortable place to stay, especially for people who enjoy walking.

A lovely cottage, in a very tranquil position where we got to see muntjac and other wildlife most mornings through the bedroom window, which was a nice surprise.
Facilities in the cottage were good, the kitchen although compact, was very well equipped with plenty of utensils, pans and baking trays, so there is no need to worry about taking those scissors, bottle opener or anything else from home! We had no problems with the shower as previously commented upon. Just turn the shower thermostatic valve to its hottest temperature and its warm in less than a minute, then adjust to suit. We all slept well and the beds were super comfy, with plenty of storage space for our clothes and belongings. Nearby, there were plenty of nice shops, pubs, cafes and a large Tesco in Shaftesbury. We would recommend Ecco Gelato at the top of Gold Hill for the best ice cream and coffee, and with a grassed park area and benches, you can enjoy your ice cream whilst indulging upon the amazing views of Dorset. The cottage is in an ideal position for visiting Dorset and the owners are very welcoming.

Though we enjoyed our stay there, it really would have been nice to be able to have our grandsons and son stay over night.
When I booked it, I had not noticed âcan not bring Guests back for overnight stays. Nor was it clearly indicated on the site that âNo Childrenâ were allowed. Though We understood the reasoning from the Martins, it was disappointing. However we made do, and had a great stay. The Cottage is convenient to the area we were visiting. It had two bedrooms, clean and comfortable and good parking. We love seeing the deer in the field, a variety of birds and even a rabbit visited. Another amenity of a Washer/Dryer would have been very helpful as well; especially, since it was a rainy week and we were visiting from the US. Mr and Mrs Martin were both very nice and chatted with us when we saw them. The cottage was welcoming and Mrs Martin had left us some cookies (biscuits) along with a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
