Staycation
The quality of the barn was exceptional, everything that was needed was provided. Ian and Alison provided simple and accurate information prior to booking, when making the booking right up to arrival. The only negative I would raise is that everywhere needs a car to get there. There were no shops within walking distance and the local pub, although only a 10 minute walk away never opened. However this did not impact greatly on our stay and would strongly recommend the Rose and Crown, which is a short drive away, for lunch, dinner or just sitting in the excellently maintained garden and having a couple of cold pints. What an exceptional view! Also Sherborne is nearby and is a perfect spot for a stroll.

Einfach nur perfekt!!!
Das war die beste Ferienwohnung die wir jemals gebucht haben. Da gibt es nichts zu beanstanden. Die Küche ist perfekt ausgerüstet, Wohnzimmer mit nagelneuem Fernseher, DVD Player und einer WII mit Spielen. Alles perfekt sauber und genug Platz für 2 Erwachsene und 3 Kinder. Idealer Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge (Stonehenge, Südküste, Bath, Cornwall,.....) Toll wäre es, wenn sich mehr Vermieter an diesem Objekt ein Beispiel nehmen würden.

Well equipped cottage and comfortable stay
Very comfortable and peaceful place to stay in Over Compton. The property was clean and tidy when we arrived, and we kept finding more things that had been provided! An airer under the bed, a washing line outside, plenty of kitchen items, etc. A nice firm, large double bed and good internet speed.

About the host

Hosted by Ian Henderson

Host profile image
We live in Milton Keynes but like to spend time in Dorset having grown up in the area. We have stayed in many holiday homes and wanted to ensure that we offer the best quality for our guests.

Why they chose this property

We love to explore Dorset and found that this area offered us the perfect base to explore both coast and countryside. The nearest Beaches are Westbay and Weymouth, both around 25 miles. The ancient town of Sherborne has an amazing high street with many independent shops, great architecture and a fantastic abbey.

Our children love some of the local attractions including: The Fleet Air arm museum, Haynes motor museum, Longleat, Monkey World, Wookey Hole and many more.

What makes this property unique

The barn includes membership of a members only food and wine store, just a short walk through the grounds of Compton House which was once a silk farm that produced the silk for Princess Diana's wedding dress. The food store offers food and wine tasting events at various times during the year. They stock a fantastic selection of wine, cheese and meat along with home made ready meals and gifts.
