Corner Barn, Hedge End Farmhouse, Hedge End, Winterborne Stickland, Dorset, DT11 0EB

The main thing we look for in a cottage apart from facilities and location is cleanliness so we were disappointed to find the main bathroom toilet needing cleaning and lots of flies in there. (I appreciate it is on a working farm so flies are part and parcel).

We also had to clean all surfaces before using as we assumed if the toilet wasn't cleaned properly neither were the surfaces.

That is the (minor) negatives out of the way

The cottage was probably the best equipped we have stayed in (we were doing staycation before it was a thing ;o) )

The games room was amazing, as a pool player the table was better than half the tables I play on in the league. Electric air hockey, fussball (only the left back on the red team was slightly damaged) and a full compliment of paddles and balls for table tennis.

Lovely, well kept fenced garden ideal for dog owners and the centre garden was perfect for the kids to run around in.

Location is very good for Dorset's many attractions (Monkey world, heavy horse centre, Studland Bay (amazing sandy dog friendly beaches), Corfe castle, I could go on...

Enjoy!

Three of us stayed in The Corner Barn whilst the rest of the family (6 of them + dogs) stayed in The Old Cart Shed in March. The courtyard is a lovely idea to enable smaller or larger groups staying to get together.

Our barn was beautiful; the decor looked like it had been only recently refurbished when in fact it had been completed a few years ago. Everything was spotless, the rooms cozy and comfortable, although we only stayed for a long weekend (we wish it was longer) everything is supplied to make it feel like a real "home form home".

This is a beautiful place with lovely bluebell woods across the road. The accomodation is lovely and the cake awaiting us on arrival, with milk in the fridge and a pre-stock of tea and coffee was over and above any expectations. As birders I always make a list of birds seen from or around a property. Just 4 days in and I am already at 50 species, with raven and spotted flycatcher as star birds but supporting cast of bullfinch, yellowhammer, buzzard and a full set of mixed woodland species.

We stayed for two weeks in October 2014 initially with a friend then relatives arrived from abroad. Contact was made with the owner who left spare sheets for the out of sync bed change. It is ideally suited for visiting the Jurassic coast and Glastonbury, Stonehenge and many other 'must see' places. The Cottage has everything to make for a good stay. I have only given 4 out of 5 because the Sykes info is inaccurate. The twin room has the shower the double has a hand held shower over the bath. This cannot be attached to a wall so made for a bit of spillage o
