Staycation

The quality of the barn was exceptional, everything that was needed was provided. Ian and Alison provided simple and accurate information prior to booking, when making the booking right up to arrival. The only negative I would raise is that everywhere needs a car to get there. There were no shops within walking distance and the local pub, although only a 10 minute walk away never opened. However this did not impact greatly on our stay and would strongly recommend the Rose and Crown, which is a short drive away, for lunch, dinner or just sitting in the excellently maintained garden and having a couple of cold pints. What an exceptional view! Also Sherborne is nearby and is a perfect spot for a stroll.

Well equipped cottage and comfortable stay

Very comfortable and peaceful place to stay in Over Compton. The property was clean and tidy when we arrived, and we kept finding more things that had been provided! An airer under the bed, a washing line outside, plenty of kitchen items, etc. A nice firm, large double bed and good internet speed.

Lovely family holiday

The barn was great - warm, spacious, well-equipped, spotlessly clean. The location was perfect for trips to nearby villages (but the barn is so nice, you may not want to venture out too much). We had a great time on our first holiday with our three month old baby and would definitely return.

Cosy and comfortable

The cottage was very clean and comfortable and provided everything we needed. The only slight drawback was that the wifi didn't work very well, although the owners very kindly did their best to rectify it.

Outstanding property, spotlessly clean, equipped with absolutely everything, lovely quiet location.

Property easy to find, totally exceeded expectations , beautifully decorated and furnished everything was like new it was spotless. Very well equipped . The owners in my opinion had thought of absolutley everything for adults and children . Something as simple as an umbrella was provided which we did actually need . We were left milk , juice , wine , biscuits , tea , coffee and other cupboard essentials as well as plenty of kitchen and bathroom cleaning materials. The location was exactly as described, lovely quiet and peaceful. It was lovely to come back to after a long day out . The deli within a short walk of the barn was amazing we loved the array of gorgeous food on offer and actually ate in most evenings on food we bought there. Fab place to stay highly recommended if u want peace and quiet . Owners communication was great and very friendly . On our stay we travelled around Dorset , visited countless lovely villages around the towns Of Sherborne , Beaminster, Bridport, West Bay, Lyme Regis, Weymouth, Corfe Castle, Dorchester, , Lulworth Cove, and on the way home Wimborne Minister. Beautiful county, and a very enjoyable stay. This property is near the Somerset border and although we did not venture there it is well placed to visit both counties.

Excellent throughout our stay

We had a wonderful time at your place. Obviously a lot of planning and love went into setting up this apartment. You thought of everything even an umbrella (thank God we didn't need it). We will recommend your "barn" to all of our friends who plan to visit the UK. Thanks again Brigitte

The barn is lovely. Cosy and decorated beautifully.

We had a lovely stay at Meadow View Barn. The owners had thought of everything that we might need - from plasters, to maps and details of local attractions, to games and DVDs for the children. The accommodation was very comfortable with lots of attention to detail. We soon made ourselves at home and had a very relaxing time.

Einfach nur perfekt!!!

Das war die beste Ferienwohnung die wir jemals gebucht haben. Da gibt es nichts zu beanstanden. Die Küche ist perfekt ausgerüstet, Wohnzimmer mit nagelneuem Fernseher, DVD Player und einer WII mit Spielen. Alles perfekt sauber und genug Platz für 2 Erwachsene und 3 Kinder. Idealer Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge (Stonehenge, Südküste, Bath, Cornwall,.....) Toll wäre es, wenn sich mehr Vermieter an diesem Objekt ein Beispiel nehmen würden.
