    The cottage was clean and in great condition, with a very nice view into a very nice yard. The location was great with a nice pub and an interesting old church just down the street. Highly recommended.

    This was a great base for us to explore Dorset. The Little Barn is delightful, both inside and out. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Great communication by Kaz, our host, for a smooth check in. Hopefully, we will return.

    The property itself is charming and well thought out. You'll find that Kaz and David have provided everything you need for your stay. Your outlook is onto a huge lawn, with trees, wildlife aplenty and the river Cerne to round it off. Little Barn was spotless upon arrival and we were greeted with a welcome card and most tasty biscuits. We immediately felt at home. The welcome pack is comprehensive and tells you all about the accommodation facilities and local attractions and eateries. Turning to the hosts, Kaz & David really are the most considerate people and their attention to detail and desire for guests to have the best possible experience shone through. Great communications too. We'll definitely be back!

    Little Barn is a fantastic place to stay, immaculate with everything you need. Location is great for visiting the area. The garden by the river has plenty of wildlife and is delightful. You struggle to find anywhere better to stay. Thanks to Kaz & David especially for the delicious chocolate cake. Hope to visit again.
