We had the most fantastic and memorable stay at Helena cottage! The place was so cosy and clean and so well equipped, as well as the most accommodating and helpful hosts available with whatever we needed at any time. My 5 children had the most fantastic time in the pool, playground and picturesque grounds! Been doing self catered holidays many times, The Victorian Barn is highly recommended, it topped it all by far!! Thank you Claire for your constant kindness, you have a heart of gold.

We’ve just returned from a week at The Victorian Barn and we had a fantastic time. The cottage was extremely comfortable with everything you need for a self catering holiday. The on-site facilities (swimming pool, badminton court and games room) were a real bonus and the private hot tub was great!

Durdle door is great. Lovely swimming. The Fox pub does good food and is lovely setting.

Blessed family holiday at the highly recommended Victorian Barn. Lots of information on the website and in messages from the owners, who were responsive to our messages and very helpful. It is so peaceful, wild flowers, butterflies, plenty of things for all the family to do and no traffic noise. Lots of fish in the lakes. Park Lake was ideal for our grandchildren learning to fish.
