About the host
Hosted by Penny & Claire
You’re staying somewhere that’s personal to us, not just a business. I’m Claire and I live onsite with my husband and children. We run The Victorian Barn Dorset as a small family business, and we’ve welcomed guests here for many years.
What I enjoy most about hosting is hearing how families, friends and couples have made memories here. Whether it’s a child’s first swim, a quiet weekend away or a big celebration, it means a lot to us. We’ve created this space to be warm, relaxed and easy to enjoy, and we always aim to add little touches that make your stay feel special.
We’re not a big corporate setup and we like it that way. When you book with us, you’re supporting a family business that genuinely values your stay.

Why they chose this property
If you're craving peace and quiet, this part of Dorset is the perfect choice. You can start your day with birdsong, enjoy coffee with a view, and head out for gentle walks or local food spots. It’s all about switching off, soaking up the views, and reconnecting, whether that’s with nature, your partner, or yourself. The slower pace here invites you to truly relax.
What makes this property unique
The Byre is a comfortable ground-floor apartment that sleeps four and is ideal for a young family or a couple travelling with friends. There’s a spacious open-plan layout, countryside views, and easy access to all the facilities onsite, including the indoor heated pool, sauna, and play areas. It’s a peaceful setting with everything you need for a relaxed Dorset break and it’s all on one level for convenience.
