Great place. Good location.
Definitely need transport if staying here, but the location was great and the site was relatively small and friendly. Visited in October so not all of the facilities were open (eg swimming pool). The mobile home was well equipped and extremely clean.
Don't think there could have been any improvements.

Very enjoyable short stay at the Barkley
We liked the site which was quiet, in a picturesque setting and not far from Wimborne. Mobile home was tastefully decorated and in good condition with no signs of wear and tear. We liked the balcony area which was perfect for our dog.
We could not get the channels up on the television and neither could out tec-savvy son. Because the weather was so good and we were out a lot this didn't matter, but could have been if it was raining. In which case we would have asked at reception.
