"Our 3rd stay."
Just as beautiful as the first time. Everything you need is provided. Great location, with the beach so close and miles of countryside to wander in. Also close to Bridport for great shopping.
-
"Excellent as usual"
-
"We love staying at Cliff Barn, It is comfortable, cosy and spotlessly clean in a great location, we have already booked a return visit."
-
"Owners were welcoming and available if there were any problems."
The property was clean, comfortable and well maintained and definitely no problems. The location is brilliant with plenty of national trust land surrounding the cottage and very close to the beach. Just perfect! As it happens so was the weather for late October.
-
"This was my second visit to Cliff Barn - and I’ve already booked my third."
Jill and Alan are extremely helpful and welcoming. My cocker spaniel enjoys the surrounding walks, which are plentiful and the property is warm, clean and very well appointed . A perfect spot for a break!

"Lovely holiday let clean cosy comfortable,everything you needed."
Lovely area for walking “when weather wasn’t too bad”,but it didn’t really bother too much. Cottage owners were were lovely people knew if we had a problem they were there.Absolutely perfect holiday place.
-
"Unfortunately we had to cancel our holiday at short notice."
Unable to get hold of Sykes or the insurance company to put in a claim. Left messages on chat and found no number where I could actually speak to a real person. No response to my “live chat” requesting advice. My husband is having a pacemaker fitted next week. The owners were very understanding. However not only have we lost a significant amount of money we’re extremely disappointed with lack of customer services in the Sykes organisation and so called Insurance. Tel Nos non existent and non responsive. Nothing but recorded messages and options not serviced by anyone. We’ve been left high and dry. We booked our holiday last year May 23 and were looking forward to it so very much.

"This property was a fantastic place for us."
Coastal walks on the doorstep, a lovely patio to sit out on with a glass of wine or beer on an evening and a comfortable bed to rest our heads. Alan and Jill were lovely and we hope to come back some day. Thank you.

"Cliff Barn is a fabulous cottage, spotlessly clean, everything you needed was supplied."
Comfort second to none, the surroundings superb, Burton Bradstock is a marvellous little village, sited next to a glorious coast line and beach. We picked the most glorious week for the weather. Alan and Jill must be very proud of being the owners of such a beautiful property.

Loved cliff barn it was home from home Gill and Alan were there if we needed anything gill told us different places to visit which was a great help we were able to visit Dorset Somerset and Devon from cliff barn everything thing you would need is there thank you for the bottle of wine

"Wonderful place to stay, peaceful and relaxing, views are stunning, Jill and Alan are perfect host along with being helpful."
Second year back there and have booked again for next year 2025 Excellent thank you
-
"Absolutely perfect…."
The property was spotless and had everything we needed. It is situated in a perfect location, minutes from the beach and the lovely village and a short drive or bus ride to explore the surrounding areas. The coastal walk starts just a minutes walk away. The owners were really friendly and very helpful but didn’t intrude (they also left us a lovely bottle of wine!). If you like going to sleep to the sound of the sea and waking up to the sheep and lambs bleating then this is the place for you. Perfect in every way and we are looking forward to staying again x

-
"Superb facilities and position."
Very friendly owners. Problem now is that we would like to move back to Dorset where we used to live.
-
"We had a wonderful stay at Cliff Barn."
There was a lovely welcome bottle of wine so thank you to Alan and Jill. We love Dorset and Cliff Barn gave us the opportunity to visit places we have not visited before because of its brilliant location. Close enough to amenities to buy forgotten eggs but far enough away to feel as though you are in the middle of nowhere. A real treasure for an R and R break. Our Pepper really enjoyed all the local fields and beaches.
-
"What a fantastic little find Cliff Barn was."
Hidden away in its own grounds but not too far from anywhere. Very clean and comfortable great views. The dogs loved the little garden and watching the sheep and lambs. The owners were extremely helpful and on hand if you needed anything. If we go back to Dorsetvwevwill definitely book Cliff Barn again

"What a find."
Super modern bungalow in a quiet area near the coast. Super helpful hosts Spotlessly clean and thoughtfully equipped We have several breaks in the year and things are top of my list to take are ,rubber anti slip shower mat, torch,and tablecloth,but they were all provided. Great dog walking area ,not that we have one.Just R&R for us.!
-
"Cliff Barn is in a great location for coastal walks and is close to Hive beach and Burton Bradstock village and just a short drive to Bridport for the shops."
The accomodation was spotlessly clean, comfortable, cosy and dog friendly too! perfect for a relaxing week. we are looking forward to going back later in the year. Many thanks Alan and Jill

"Very nice purpose built holiday cottage."
Immaculately clean, everything looked new and shiney! Well equipped kitchen, comfy bed and super cosy duvet. Would have liked bigger bath towels. Great location for exploring the area on foot or by car. Very doggy friendly. Could have done with some more information about the area, leaflets on places to visit, local walks etc. Very few extras provided, no tea or milk, dog bowls etc. Most cottages I've stayed in provide this but I take my own just in case. After a 6 hour drive I needed a brew. Although there was a nice bottle of wine! The little conservatory gets really warm and is great for muddy boots and soggy coats. Personally I'd have put a little sofa in there as it was a lovely spot to sit and look out over the fields. Luckily I was blessed with sunshine all week. But it was cold so the generous supply of logs for the log burner was much appreciated. As a bonus I was allowed to let my dog have a run about in the adjacent enclosed field which he loved. It's a beautiful cottage in a beautiful location. Well worth a visit.

"Great barn, great location I would highly recommend this holiday cottage"

"We had a great time at cliff barn Dorset."
The welcome was lovely, the cottage comfy and spotless, and the bed was very comfy, I have a bad back and slept very well, and the weather was very good .
-
"Superb property which is extremely clean, comfortable, and very well equipped, in a stunning coastal location, with lovely views."
Our dog and us, enjoyed the walk across the fields opposite Cliff Barn to Burton Bradstock beach. A superb location for reaching other coastal villages and nearby towns. The owners are friendly and caring. We really enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend booking this property.
-
"I thought I'd already answered this survey, but worth repeating - nigh-on perfect, our thirteenth visit, Jill and Alan go out of their way to make us welcome, we've already booked our next two holidays."
-
"Lovely cottage in a great position."
Nice and quiet makes for a relaxing holiday. Very well equipped. Rooms had plenty of space and sunny from sunrise to sunset. Car parking space just outside cottage so easy access down a private drive. Can highly recommend this cottage.
-
"A beautiful cottage, spotlessly clean and everything you need."
All of this in a fantastic location. Thoroughly recommend this cottage to anyone wanting a holiday in Dorset.
-
"We spent a week at this wonderful cottage which is in a perfect position in Burton Bradstock."
5 minutes walk to Hive Beach or 3 minutes to the Three Horseshoes pub which serves great food! Everything in the cottage was perfect, clean as a whistle and with everything you could wish for. The owners Jill and Alan are very welcoming and always on hand if anything is needed. It's a perfect little place by the sea, great walks nearby including the South West Coast Path, easy access to Bridport for shopping and close to the resorts of Lyme Regis and Weymouth too. Oh and I don't think we've ever slept so well!!
-
"Fantastic property, very high level of cleanliness and comfort, great location, would highly recommend."
-
"A lovely, clean, well looked after, comfortable holiday property, close to local amenities, the sea and fantastic access to coastal walks, everything you could need from the doorstep."
-
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cliff Barn."
The bungalow is perfect, very clean & comfortable inside and with lovely outside seating too. The owners were very welcoming. Superb location, quiet but within easy walking distance of the village pubs & shop & also a short walk across the field to Hive beach & the beach cafe. The coastal path is very close to the property so great for walkers. We ate at both the village pubs & the beach cafe & the food was superb, useful to book at the pubs as they get busy. Burton Bradstock is very handy for visiting other places & we went to Lyme Regis, Bridport & the gardens at Abbotsbury which were beautiful. The car park on Hive beach is National Trust so free to members. Thanks Alan & Jill for a lovely stay, we will be back, Sue & Mike

"Cliff Barn is a super holiday cottage, perfectly situated 100 yards from the South West Coastal Path, and just a few minutes from the beach in one direction and the delightful village in the other."
It is really well kitted out for two (plus one dog!!) with everything you need for a relaxing week away from it all, and the small garden area ideal for relaxing or just letting the dog out last thing at night!! For a small property you had the choice of three tables to sit and read or eat or play games at, in the main open plan room, the porch area or outside. We loved being able to explore on foot so easily and even if you did want a change of scenery, there is so much nearby. The furthest we explored in a week was to Lyme Regis just 20 or so minutes away, and West Bay, Bridport and Abbotsbury are much nearer. We didn’t even need the Morrisons at Bridport as we had arranged a delivery for the day of arrival. The owners were very welcoming and often greeted us whilst pottering about in their garden next door, and had also kindly left a bottle of wine for us on arrival. We were perhaps fortunate that the weather was a little cooler for our week, as one very small idea would be to have an umbrella in the garden to provide a bit more shade. We have rebooked already for 2024.

"Cannot recommend cliff barn highly enough."
Short walk across the field and your on the beach ( Hive beach National trust ). Lovely for the dogs. Nice watching the rabbits & the sheep in the field opposite. Everything you need for a break away. Very comfortable inside , large bed , recliner chairs , good size TV, , all you need is there. WestBay , Yarmouth Lyme Regis all a short drive away.. We liked it so much that while we was there we booked the smaller accommodation for next year. Village view.
-
"Cliff barn is perfect in every way, we have been taking our dog(s) on holiday for 39 years and we have never stayed anywhere better."
Comfortable , clean, quiet well thought out accomodation,and beautifully maintained. Short walk to beach and Hive cafe, short walk to shop and 2 excellent pubs in the village Lovely view across the field no noise from traffic or children, perfect relaxing week. Such an enjoyable holiday we have booked the neighbouring property for next year. A big thankyou for the greeting we received on arrival from the owners, and a bottle of wine too Many thanks and hats off to Jill and Alan

"This was our second time staying at Cliff Barn, Burton Bradstock and it was good being back there again."
The owners are friendly and welcoming. The accommodation is modern, spotlessly clean and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. It's peaceful setting is perfect for a relaxing break. It has safe private parking alongside the property, and a small enclosed garden which is mostly paved with a raised grass area. The coastal path is just a few minutes walk from the property, and Hive beach with cafe a few minutes further on, so it's a great area for walkers. The village has 2 pubs, a well stocked shop, and post office store, all are a short downhill walk away. (The climb back up the lane could be challenging for some people) All in all we love it here and thoroughly recommend Cliff Barn to anyone looking for a quiet and relaxing place to stay.
-
"Best Sykes property we have stayed in both in terms of quality of accommodation and location."
Beautiful, peaceful area and proximity of property to coastal path is perfect.
-
"Lovely cosy accommodation, spotlessly clean and very well equipped."
Lovely helpful owners who were quick to respond and remedy, when we experienced a minor problem. Would definitely recommend and would like to return. A little gem located in a tranquil location.
-
"The minimalistic design is just right for holiday accommodation."
Everything needed for a relaxing stay is provided and the standard of cleanliness is extremely high. It is much appreciated by this recent guest and I certainly hope to stay again. The area is excellent for walkers and Burton Bradstock, just a few minutes down the hill, is a quintessential Dorset village with much of architectural interest. Many walks start here and it is great fun exploring the area without the noise of traffic and lots of people. Walking the coast path is less pleasant though, due to the high number of other walkers and an ever increasing number of ugly holiday chalets and static caravans stretching out from the beach well in to the surrounding countryside, spoiling the views. Thank goodness for the protected National Trust land!
-
"From the warm and friendly welcome through to our departure a week later we couldn't have been more thrilled with our choice of cottage."
Cliff Barn is THE best self catering accommodation we've come across during many years of self catering holidays. Perfect for a couple it is warm exceptionally comfortable and beautifully furnished - it's the only time we've left after a week feeling the seating was as comfortable as home! Many thanks for sharing your "stress free zone" with us and we will most definitely be back.

"This is a fabulous property and the owners very friendly."
Everything you could ask for in a property. We would not hesitate about going back. The area is great. We enjoyed all our meals in The Three horseshoes pub. Food and staff excellent. Great place for walking.
-
"We had a wonderful week at Cliff Barn."
The cottage was easy to find and spotlessly clean when we arrived. There was a bottle of wine on the table to welcome us. Alan & Jill were very friendly & helpful but unobtrusive. The location is second to none - just a few minutes walk to the SW Coastal path with fields & Hive Beach for the dogs and a short walk in to the village with 2 dog friendly pubs. It is also a great starting point to explore the lovely towns, villages and countryside of West Dorset.
-
"A lovely well equipped cosy bungalow in a perfect location."
Jill & Alan couldn’t do any more to make our stay more enjoyable.
-
"Cliff Barn is perfect for a quite relaxing break."
The property was spotlessly clean and comfortable one of the best we have ever booked with Sykes.The owners are nearby and very helpfully if you need advice. The location is perfect for beach and cliff top walks right on the the door step . We have already booked a return visit in October.
-
"Our holiday property was fantastic, we really enjoyed our week away, facilities were great, location excellent and we cant wait to come back."
-
"Our stay at Cliff Barn was really special, the accommodation and facilities were all and more than we could have asked for."
My husband Steve, me and Billy the Sprocker had such a relaxing, warm and cosy time in the bungalow. The location could not have been better with the coastal path just up the road, the Three Horseshoes pub just down the road and lovely beaches and coves just a few minutes drive away. There were plenty of places to choose from to eat out and cafes on the beach to while away the time just taking in the stunning surroundings. Ssshhhh keep it quiet! We’ll be back! Thankyou to Alan and Jill who were the perfect hosts.
-
"Very clean and comfortable property, really enjoyed our stay."

Had everything you would need, it was clean ,bright and every room was very good. ( bathroom,bedroom,lounge ). The hosts Alan and Jill on site, friendly and helpful.

The property
Nestled on the outskirts of Burton Bradstock and in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is Cliff Barn.
A charming renovated one bedroom single storey building located within Cliff Farm in a stunning, quiet location.
Cliff Barn offers up to date and modern facilities while retaining its charm and cosy feel.
Upon entering the property you are welcomed into the spacious porch where you can kick off your muddy walking shoes before relaxing in the contemporary open plan living space.
The spacious open plan Lounge/Kitchen/Diner has a well equipped modern kitchen, including microwave and dishwasher and a dining table for two overlooking the field and South West Coast path beyond.
A log burning stove, two reclining armchairs and Smart TV will ensure you have a relaxing and cosy stay.
The spacious accommodation offers one bedroom with king size bed, Smart TV and an ensuite with walk in shower.
Take in the views at the bistro table and chairs in the porch accessed by doors from the lounge area and leading to the sheltered garden, an enclosed safe area for your four legged companions.
If you can tear yourself away from this delightful base, a short stroll will bring you to the village centre, where you will find two pubs, serving food, a Post Office and garage that can provide all those essential supplies.
Within a few moments of Cliff Barn’s front door you can access the South West Coast Path and the magnificent Hive Beach offering peaceful seclusion with café and the perfect spot to swim or paddleboard the day away.
Slightly further is the market town of Bridport, where you will find a twice-weekly market (Saturday and Wednesday) and plenty of independent shops and cafés to explore one afternoon.
Your visit won’t be complete without a trip to West Bay, famous for its starring role in ITV’s Broadchurch series, sit on the harbour side and enjoy some fresh local fish and chips followed by local award-winning ice cream.
When staying at Cliff Barn access to indoor bowling at Bridport Indoor Bowls Club is available and for people who have not tried bowling before lessons can also be arranged.
Cliff Barn is the perfect retreat for couples who want to escape to the country and enjoy all that the Dorset Coast has to offer.
After a busy day return to Cliff Barn and relax in the garden with a glass or two of wine.
