We have just returned from a wonderful holiday at Barleycorn. The cottage is very spacious for 2 people and well equipped. The location on the farm is simply stunning. Very remote and so silent at nights. A bit of active farm life around is lovely. It's a great base for exploring Dorset and the hosts are wonderful and friendly and make some delicious honey! Would wholeheartedly recommend.

We had a lovely holiday at Barleycorn. Sarah was extremely friendly and helpful. The cottage had absolutely everything you could possibly need. Cake (home made), milk, honey, eggs, tea and coffee on arrival. Our puppy loved the company through the fence with the farm dogs. Each day, when we got back, she raced through to go out and meet them. I noticed in the visitors book, several were repeat bookings, so that says it all. ##### Brian This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Allan Feb 20, 2019 #### The cottage was excellent, great value for money, well furnished and very relaxing, would highly rec The cottage was excellent, great value for money, well furnished and very relaxing, would highly recommend this cottage. ##### Allan This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### John Feb 7, 2019 #### Amazing break in the countryside.
