Tallet Barn West Reviews

Emma
We stayed for a long weekend to celebrate my birthday and honestly, it was just what we needed. The scenery was stunningand it was close enough to explore nearby villages. The hot tub was a lovely bonus! Mum and I really enjoyed our time there, thanks so much!
Emma
The setting is stunning and the hot tub is fantastic. Loads of lovely walks nearby, though indoor tennis is only in the afternoons.
Oliver
Our countryside getaway was just what we hoped for. The Tallet Barn West was cosy, but be ready for the bumpy, narrow lane when you arrive-that's a bit of a trek off the main road. We really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub, soaking in the stunning views. The area’s full of footpaths, perfect for exploring the landscape. The little football pitch was great for the kids, but indoor courts need booking a day ahead. Overall, a lovely stay with plenty to do!
Emma
The place is really lovely, set in a peaceful countryside spot. The beds were super comfyand everything we needed was there. The hot tub was a massive hit with everyone. The lane leading up can be a bit bumpy, but overall, a great stay!
Emma

We had a lovely time! The peaceful location was perfect for unwinding, though it’s a bit of a drive to get to shops. The tennis courts were a real bonus, especially for the kids. Great for a quiet family break with plenty of space to roam and relax. Thanks for having us!

We stayed here for a short mid-week getaway and honestly, it was lovely. The place was spotless and had all we needed for a comfortable stay. The log stove was perfect for the chilly November eveningsand the hot tub was a real treat. We also appreciated the thoughtful touches like bread, milk, butter, cakeand biscuits on arrival after our drive from Cornwall. The area is so peaceful too. Thanks, Simon and Lisa!
Alex
This place is a real hidden treasure! We had such a peaceful stay, with comfy beds and excellent facilities. The view over the fields was lovelyand the welcome touches made us feel at home. Definitely coming back soon!
Alex
We loved the cosy vibe of the place, with comfy furnishings and a real log fire. The hot tub was a bonusand having indoor tennis and badminton courts was great-just note they’re only open on weekdays. The views over the hillside are stunning and perfect for unwinding. Nice spot!

Monkey World - BH20 6HH
about 14 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.

This family orientated museum is dedicated to Teddy Bears both old and new Edward Bear and his family of people sized bears are one of the main attractions.  You can buy teddy bear gifts from the quaint shop including top notch brands.  The Steiff Teddy Bear and Merrythought bears are very popular.  Open 7 days a week all year round (except 25th and 26th December) this is a perfect all weather place to visit.
