"We had a wonderful stay at Threshing Barn."
The property was beautifully presented with so much more space than we needed! Wonderfully helpful hosts and beautiful countryside views from the property.

"We returned again this year and once again had a fantastic holiday."
The property is home from home, very well equipped, very clean and comfortable. Hot tub enjoyed by all. We all had a wonderful time. Sharon is very welcoming and on hand if needed but not intrusive. Highly recommend this property. Thank you so much.

"Beautiful spacious property with quality furnishings."
A real home from home and equipped with everything you would need. Extremely quiet area too. Kitchen/dining area is gorgeous, such a relaxing social space for everyone to relax and chill. Outside is a decent sized bbq which we made use of as we were extremely lucky with the weather. Not to mention the large hot tub which we all loved and was checked daily, the water was clear as a bell for our whole 11 night stay. Properly perfectly placed for trips into Poole and Swanage and gorgeous beaches only a relatively short drive. A very relaxing and memorable break at this beautiful property, thank you to the owners who made us feel very welcome. We hope to be returning very soon.

"This is a beautiful property very well maintained and beautifully decorated."
The facilities were excellent and we couldn’t have asked for anything more. An extremely well appointed kitchen with everything provided you could possibly need. A very warm welcome from the owner and a lovely welcome hamper to get our holiday off to a great start. Very well located for enjoying tourist attractions and the hot tub was awesome.

Well maintained, ideal layout and beautifully decorated and designed. Very clean. The owners had thought of everything. We made use of the hob tub even though it was January as it was the perfect temperature. Thank you Sharon and Neil. We will be returning.

"One of three new cottages around an old yard that once contained a mill in Sparrowbush Farm, two of which have been available for rent for about one year."
The Threshing Barn is beautifully and tastefully appointed, very modern, and with everything required for a self- catering holiday, with all modern cooking and cleaning conveniences. Though the telephone signal is poor, due to the farms location nesting between rolling hills, WiFi is fine. The bonus is a very modern Hot Tub that is diligently maintained. Daily contact, if required, with a lady, Ellie was available. she was very friendly and helpful

"The friendly relaxed welcome set us up to relax and enjoy our week ."
The finish of the kitchen is fabulous and the layout was ideal for the dog . The bi -folds offer that inside /outside feel which is perfect. It’s light and airy even when the weather is grey . You need to go short drives to amenities , beaches , walks this is the only consideration when booking. The hot tub and barbecue area and the whole barn was enjoyed by the whole family. A great family holiday

Very comfortable rooms. Stunning from bedroom balcony listening to birdsong and owls, very relaxing. Hot tub was a hit with all of us, great relaxing in the garden after days out, plenty of seating inside and out. So peaceful. Sharon on hand should we need anything but not intrusive. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend and would love to return.

"Beautiful accommodation, very well equipped and welcoming atmosphere."
Helpful owners on hand if any problems, hot tub enjoyed by humans and countryside enjoyed by dog! Very warm house so it was cosy for a winter holiday, and Christmas decorations were discreet but lovely.
-
"We had a very enjoyable stay."
The House is like new with all modern facilities and the Hot Tub was excellent, the house was presented in a very clean state and the location and views were lovely. We particularly liked the open plan living space. The welcome pack from the Host was also a lovely thought. We would definitely stay again as this is a great location for exploring everything that Dorset has to offer. Very well thought out as well with a separate place for the Dog outside and everything fenced / gated.
-
"This recently completed barn conversion is comfortable and well equipped."
A good location for visiting places of interest including Poole, Dorchester and Swanage and had a great Sunday lunch at the local pub. Plenty to do or good place to relax. Recommend Swanage Railway, Dorset Heavy Horse Centre and Durlston Country Park to name a few.
-
"The property was as described and was very comfortable."
It was well equipped for cooking in which we did quite a lot in our week. It is very quiet which we loved all you could hear in the morning were the pheasants. The hot tub was very nice as well. We had a great stay and would come back.
-

We spent so much time at the cottage, the surrounding fields and facilities provided (even for our dog) just made us want to stay and make the most of it. We were very sad to leave.

"Amazing stay."
Very clean and modern. Kitchen well equity. The hot tub is huge, definitely more than big enough for the amount of people that can stay at the barn. Great hosts! Already recommended the barn to family and friends!
