Our 3rd visit - lovely surroundings looking out on rabbits, goats and sheep with the occasional horse on the hillside... centrally placed in the area for wonderful visits, well appointed and spacious....friendly host with extensive welcome pack.
We had a really lovely mini holiday in Larch Barn. It is the perfect combination of light and airy yet cosy and comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the little patio in the September sunshine with the company of the sheep, goats and rabbits in the next door field. A very pretty place.
Lovely barn and setting. Thought area itself a bit remote and pub in village.not serving food. So for those reasons Would not stay there again.
Lovely location welcomed with a comprehensive hamper, spotlessly clean and well equipped with a lovely outlook. Steve was a great host and made sure our stay was just perfect.
Very well appointed 'barn' cottage with lovely green field surroundings. Very peaceful and well placed to visit local sights, including the coast.
A beautiful barn constructed with love by the owner. We mainly stayed local to the barn because the scenery was so amazing. The farm shop next door was a real bonus, and you must try the Holy Cow local milk. Delicious! Gave 4 stars instead of 5 because we didn't have enough loo roll and the outside furniture was dilapidated.
The location was stunning and the cottage was very nice indeed. It was just a bit neglected (hamper without wine, cereals, fruit..) broken chairs outside
We had a very enjoyable stay at Larch Barn despite the dismal weather. It is a very clean, cosy and extremely well-equipped cottage. An extensive collection of DVDs came in very useful seeing that we were accompanied by our young grandson. Great to have the farm shop nearby.
Very well equipped and comfortable. Owners extremely helpful.
Excellent base for a holiday in Dorset and surrounding areas. Well equipped, clean and very comfortable and in a lovely location. The welcome hamper was a lovely thought which we really appreciated. We would definitely stay here again we love Larch Barn , thank you .
Larch Barn was a total delight. Well appointed with calming décor. Due to the weather we were able to have doors and windows open all of the time. We went to rest - and that is just what we did - with knitting, tapestry and books. We spent almost all of the week doing NOTHING - it was superb.
So peaceful and quiet, with beautiful countryside. The cottage was very well set out and comfortable with outside space for relaxing.
Fab property, lovely thoughtful decor, well equipped, very clean and so light with great views across the fields. Plenty of room to park outside.Great to return to after a full day out and to have breakfast outside or with the patio doors open to the view.Just what we wanted as a couple. Plenty of interesting sights nearby although we went down to the coast and to "Sculpture by the Lakes" near Dorchester. Depending where you go 35 minutes to Hive beach cafe (highly recommend) east of West bay or 55 mins ish to Lulworth Cove. Very handy small farm shop a few minutes walk down the road for bits of local food and a newspaper! A well stocked welcome basket was also provided with lovely fresh wild flower vase. Cannot fault this property and owners.
It was with a sigh of pleasure we entered Larch Barn and looked around. Excellent directions had given us a trouble free start to our break and one glance at the interior and the surroundings told us that we had picked a winner. We were in need of peace and tranquility after a stressful time, and we certainly found it there. The beds were truly comfortable, the water hot and the towels fluffy. We loved the interior design and Caroline was always cheerful and helpful when I needed her. Tea outside was a treat on our first afternoon; although the weather wasn't good we had two lovely days out and found all the information very helpful. Its our No 1 cottage - and we've stayed in lots!

From our hosts to the beautiful accommodation everything was excellent. Great base for exploring. A generous welcome pack was an added bonus
Very pretty, well designed, well equipped and lovely place to stay. Well located to explore the area.
We had a great holiday at Larch Barn. This was our second stay and we are sure we will visit again.
