We had a really lovely stay at The Haybarn.

We had a really lovely stay at The Haybarn. All furniture and appliances are high spec and the layout is big and comfy. There wasn’t anything we missed in terms of kitchen equipment etc. bed very comfortable too. The welcome basket was a kind gesture and because of its remote location, it was much appreciated. There is a shop in the next village along but limited opening hours so I would say plan ahead for food/drinks. We didn’t visit the local pub which is a stone throw from the property (we have a young baby) but it looked lovely and we were told the food there is brilliant. I’d recommend The Haybarn to anyone but just be willing to drive narrow roads/lanes to see nearby places of interest. We visited Weymouth Harbour, took around 50 minutes to get there but was worth it!
