Middleton Barn Reviews

Usha

We arrived on Thursday night for a friends 50th birthday, there was 5 ladies just wanting to explore the area, go on nice country walks and relax. The accommodation is wonderful, with the added treat of the hottub. It is not too far from Durdle Door.

Elwyn

Very enjoyable stay

Joanne

The barn is a spacious and well equipped home from home on a equine working farm. The owners are friendly and welcoming. Plenty of parking and places to walk with the dog. Most places were within 30 minutes travel, such as Weymouth, Poole, Durdle Door. We found a lovely pottery painting place in Blandford and can recommend the gardens at Abbotsbury . Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Joanne

Sarah and Neal provide stunning, clean accommodation that is very disabled friendly. All of downstairs is accessible in a wheelchair, including a fully fitted bathroom and bedroom. They are so welcoming and helpful. They even offered to help with our dog if it was too hot to go out with us. From the guest book reviews they go above and beyond for a ll their guests. Set in gorgeous countryside with excellent local pubs you can easily relax and unwind. We will be booking again with them.

Louise

A Simply stunning barn set in beautiful countryside which was beautifully peaceful. The barn has a downstairs bedroom of a good size and a good sized wet room, the barn is also very spacious which makes it a great stay if you are a wheelchair user. The bedrooms upstairs were comfortable and felt "home from home" the living area was comfortable and felt lovely and cosy on chilly evenings. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Debbie

Fantastic stay. The Barn is immaculate and is in a great location. Hosts were very welcoming and friendly and couldn't do enough for us. The kids loved the farm and seeing the lambs and horses along with the hot tub.

Sally-anne

A perfect get away! We was greeted by Sarah on arrival and she was friendly and accommodating our entire stay. The barn was perfect for my dad who has limitations with his mobility, the bedroom and wet room downstairs was ideal and gave my dad independence whilst away. The location of the barn was perfect, we were able to see the sheep and lambs wh ich was lovely, hot tub and additional bonus fun for all. 15 mins drive to Tesco for essentials. Visited Weymouth and monkey world also.

Carolyn

A really nice location, flexible for coast and countryside. A quiet spot which suited us. We were happy to be visited by the friendly farm dogs, and saw the farm cats on patrol. The village is picture postcard material, very lovely. Our host was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Following our host's advice we found some good local eating places within easy reach.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here- the location was perfect- quiet, relaxing and peaceful, with tons of great walks nearby. The owner was delightful- friendly, helpful, and accomodating. The house itself was very nice indeed- with a real 'wow' factor in the lounge! The hot tub was a really nice touch. I also noted how perfect this house would be for those who had accessibility issues- it's very wheelchair friendly.

Adele

Very peaceful location. Hosts very friendly and helpful. Accommodation very clean and comfortable. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Highly recommend .The host is very pleasant and the location is perfect. The local village of Milton Abbas is a short walk away and it is very unique something you would see in a movie or on a chocolate box. Local pubs are great too and the food we had was excellent.

Monkey World - BH20 6HH

about 8 Miles

Monkey World is not only a local attraction but the work they carry out is amazing. Rescuing and rehabilitating monkeys and assisting governments around the world to stop the smuggling of primates are just some of the purposes of the centre. You get to see the primates themselves many of which have become famous from appearing on the TV show Monkey World - a documentary about this place. Open year round we think this is one of best attractions in Dorset and you even get the chance to adopt a monkey if you choose.
