The Barn is a lovely place to stay for a holiday, Rachel who was our contact for the Barn was helpful and had left us lots of goodies for us on arrival The Barn had everything that we required to see us through the week My only criticism of the Barn and this is purely on a personal opinion is that I found the bed to be quite low and I found it difficult to get out of the bed, my partner had no difficulty at all, I am 68 years old and not as nimble as I once was, otherwise the Barn was pretty much perfect

Returning to The Barn is like going home, with all the comforts we are used to.The proximity to the New Forest makes it a perfect location and the extra treats make it super special.

We had a comfortable week at The BarnIt was equipped with everything we needed.Nice touches like a couple of bottles of beer, a bottle of wine, loaf of lovely bread, real butter, a pod coffee maker and what looked like a gin and tonic.The sofa was really comfortable and the place was decorated nicely. Ideally located for bike rides to the Forest or for Poole and Bournemouth. The washing machine was very handy but there wasn't really the ability to dry stuff outside that we could see.There was a 2 inch step up into the kitchen which could be painful if you forgot about it. The French doors were overlooked by a path to one of the other properties which detracted from our privacy a little bit.The bike store was under a shed roof overhang and was tight for two bikes.Overall we really enjoyed our stay but for the cyclists it may not be perfect, unless you're happy to leave your bikes out overnight
