"Wonderful property, perfect for wheelchairs."
Friendly hosts.
-
"A lovely place to stay, with everything you need ."
The owner was very welcoming and the treats were very enjoyable.
-
"This is the second time we have stayed in Hebe Barn."
We absolutely love the location as a base, it has brilliant access for my husband who is a wheelchair user and has 2 wet rooms which is very difficult to find in other properties. We feel at home as soon as we set foot into the barn, So good we have already booked for a third time next year!

"We loved our week at Hebe."
The property is outstanding and in a beautiful area. Vendela the owner had thought of everything that you could possibly need and the welcome bits were very thoughtful. When we booked it was with the intention of taking our disabled Daughter but she sadly passed away a few months before we went. The reason I’m saying this is because it would have been perfect for her as it is so disabled friendly and accessible. Our dog Millie loved it too. Would recommend it 100%.

"A lovely barn conversion located in a beautiful part of the Dorset countryside."
Very restful, and all on one level, ideal for persons of lesser mobility. Local shops, pubs are within a few miles and many places, Lyme Regis, Weymouth, Swanage & Poole are within or around an hours drive. We previously stayed at the adjoining property 'Willow', and would happily stay at either again. We would happily recommend the property to others.

"Property Hebe, a few minutes drive to village Maiden Newton and Dorchester 15 minutes away."
Beautiful, comfortable conversion in a tiny farm hamlet, perfect for peace and quiet. Property practical for wheelchair use. Warm welcome from host. Chocolates, biscuits, prosecco and eggs a lovely surprise. Ideally located for walks and bird watching but also well placed to visit coast and towns. Would highly recommend this property.
-
"A lovely clean and fully equipped luxury cottage, for all able body or not so able like myself."
The owner is a lovely lady who makes sure from the minute you arrive you are felt welcome with an array of lovely gifts which we all felt was a surprising and welcoming. We will definitely be going back to stay when this very popular cottage is available.
-
"Fantastic location, a home from home."
Ideal for walking and our four legged friends.
-
"Hebe is by far the most fabulous holiday cottage we have stayed in (with our two dogs) ."
It is equipped with everything you could need, and the thoughtful welcoming 'treats' were icing on the cake - and there was chocolate and prosecco among other delights! Hebe is brilliant for both disabled and able-bodied holiday makers : the helping bits and pieces for less mobile folk were not obtrusive at all. As a below knee amputee myself I needed the cripple-friendly extras, useful and thoughtful. The dogs loved the totally secure gardens. And our host, Vendela, was friendly and helpful/caring. We will stay at Hebe or Willow (next door) again for sure. Superb.

"What's not to love?"
Fantastic property in beautiful surroundings. Everything you could wish for, and then some. Super dog friendly, which was my top priority. Owner Vendela couldn't have been more helpful, especially keeping us updated on the local roads flood situation. Only one thing could have improved it comfort wise, maybe an extra sofa. To sum up, the BEST holiday home I've ever stayed in!!!
-
"Hebe is one of the best dog friendly holiday cottages we have ever stayed."
The hosts, Vendela and Robin were very kind and accommodating and we certainly enjoyed the welcome goodies, thank you! The cottage was beautifully presented and we had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and our lovely pup certainly enjoyed the large enclosed garden - and it was properly enclosed with no escape routes. So a big thank you from us.

-
"A beautiful cottage in a wonderful setting ."
Everything you could think of was included. Wonderful welcome pack . Available if needed Friendly and very helpful, would love to visit again

"Our stay at Hebe was perfect."
Superb, clean and tidy accommodation. Sun in the morning in the back garden and in the evening in the front garden. Wet rooms well stocked with fluffy, cotton Laura Ashley towels, soap and cleaning produce. Kitchen had everything we needed. A dog walk just along the Frome Way suited our younger dogs really well and was just at the end of the drive. Centrally placed to drive to Dorset's jurassic coast and tour!
-
"This holiday property was one of the best we have stayed in to date."
As a wheelchair user my husband found it very easy to get around with the added extra of a choice of wet room. The owner was also able to provide us with a shower chair. The property had everything you could wish for and the owners were very friendly, popping in at the end of our stay to check we had had a good stay. Set in a peaceful countryside location with plenty of walks nearby it gave us the restful break we needed. So good we put a deposit down on our 3rd day for next year!!
-
"We have just had a wonderful stay at Hebe with our 3 dogs."
It was spotlessly clean, extremely comfortable and completely dog friendly. The owner is a lovely lady who checked we were ok but wasn't intrusive at all. Thanks for the goodies. Booked again for May '24, can't wait!!!

"A very well equipped cottage in a beautiful setting ."
The owner was very welcoming and friendly. We have already booked again for next summer.

"We found the property extremely clean and well equipped."
The gardens were well kept and the surroundings lovely and quiet. There were some lovely welcome gifts for us and the owner was very accommodating to our requests. The property is situated in a good spot for visiting the coastal areas of Weymouth, Poole and Swanage. Will definitely be looking to book again at some point.

"Our second stay at Hebe was as enjoyable and comfortable as our first."
Well appointed, in a good location with an excellent, secure garden meant a relaxed stay for us humans and the 'girls' - Breeze, Looby Loo and Luna.

Very disable friendly, very clean and really relaxing holiday ,lovely and quiet location but close to all coastal locations ,would definitely recommend it and would stay there again
-
"We arrived a little earlier than planned, everything was ready for us to enter the property."
Everything was exceptionally clean and tidy, we had three dogs in our party, and even they had been catered for, throws throughout the barn. It was like home from home, exceptionally comfortable. The owners were very welcoming and told us about local places to walk and go. All in all we had a fantastic time. Thankyou for making our week so enjoyable.

"My husband in a wheelchair indoors and out after a recent stroke ."
He found this beautiful cottage was easy and ideal . We were warm and comfortable on one of the coldest weeks for ages. Everything was provided and the owners were very friendly and helpful. Thank you for a really reviving little holiday,.
-
"We had a lovely stay at hebe."
There was everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The accommodation was of a very high standard. Blankets and water bowls were provided for dogs. Near to Dorchester and Weymouth. We had a lot of rain overnight and the entrance road was flooded by the river frome, just something to note if going in winter. We would recommend and will visit again.
-
"Absolutely stunning!"
We stay in 2-3 holiday cottages a year, this has to be one of the nicest we have stayed in. We had a little issue with the heating and hot water but this was sorted shortly after reporting it, can’t really ask for more. The entire place was modern, comfortable and well equipped. The front and back garden are both a good size, and actually secure for the dogs, something that many places say they are, but rarely actually true. Very impressed with this place and we will be back to visit again
-
"An excellent, comfortable property."
Everything supplied plus goodies on arrival. Large enclosed garden and plenty of local walks for the dogs. Many thanks for a lovely, relaxing stay.
-
"Lovely accessible cosy cottage with everything we needed."
In a peaceful location. Horses and sheep in the field next to the house. Owner was friendly and checked on us to make sure we were happy with everything and have us advice on the local area.
-
"My wife and I have had a comfortable stay."
The welcome pack was much appreciated. No faults what so ever, just a perfect place to stay.
-
"We had a fantastic stay at Hebe cottage."
The owners have thought of everything down to the finest detail. The cottage itself was comfortable and well appointed. It is very disabled friendly with wide doors and easily accessible en suite wet rooms in both bedrooms. The outside space was large with both front and rear secure gardens, which allowed our dog to run around and roam the grounds freely without worry. The added bonus of two horses in the field at the bottom of the rear garden made it even better. We would highly recommend this property to anyone and would definitely book it again for ourselves.

Be welcomed into the contemporary open-plan living space, with toasty eco-friendly underfloor heating and tiled flooring, where you can look forward to cooking up a storm in well-equipped kitchen, featuring a handy dishwasher and washing machine, before savouring your meal over a bottle of wine at the dining table for four.
If the weather is nice, why not dine alfresco out on the private patio, where you can soak up views of the rural countryside and your canine companion can stretch their legs?
Afterwards, retire to the plush seating in the sitting room, with French doors allowing the natural light to flow in, and select a family favourite from the TV, as the electric fire crackles nearby.
When sleep calls, retire to one of two well-presented bedrooms, a super-king-size with zip/link and a king-size, both served by generous en-suite wet rooms one of which has adjustable support rails.
Awake from a leisurely slumber and take advantage of your unique setting with ponies & pet sheep you are welcome to meet, what could be better?
