Purchases Barn Reviews

Sheila

The barn was great, so clean, well equipped and peaceful. Di the owner was really friendly and accommodating. Our dog Cassie loved the garden there were plenty of pheasants to flush out of the hedges (she is a working dog so she does not chase them).

Gemma

We were a party of 8 (us, our four young children and our elderly parents) plus our two dogs. Purchases was perfect: The view (obviously!), the room layout of two doubles and two twins, the hot tub (enjoyed by children and adults alike!), the space and the great size garden - which the dogs enjoyed immensely. It was so peaceful! Di was so helpful aRead morend the property was so well equipped - completed to such a high standard. Super access links meant we visited beaches and local towns. Take me back!

Lovely holiday home, really comfortable and almost everything we needed (we did bring our own coffee machine). The hot tub was great and we enjoyed the log burner. Christmas decorations were lovely. Very friendly host.

Sue

A beautifully built and located barn. The views are amazing! Local coastal places are easily reached and local amenities in good supply. A most enjoyable stay! Would recommend.

Mary

The property was beautifully clean and the decor was tasteful and comfortable. The views from the property were spectacular and really had a positive impact on our stay as we were at home much of the time with 5 under 4s. It was an ideal location to visit a lot of old haunts we used to visit years ago. The only issue for us was the lack of a M&S fo od hall close by. Would definitely stay again but unfortunately it will be too small for our increasing family size moving forward.

Shannon

We (6 adults and 1 dog) had a lovely weeks stay at Purchases Barn. On arrival the barn was spotless and had everything we needed. The views are amazing and the hot tub is an added bonus. Di the owner was really helpful with any questions we had. The barn is close by to supermarkets, and Lyme Regis and Seaton are not far away. We would definitely re turn and would recommend!

Candlelight Inn i s a must, the place is really lovely and the food was great!! Would definitely like to return!

Heidi

We (6 adults, 1 dog) had a wonderful stay despite it being one of the wildest weeks the UK had seen! Everything we could have wished for was there, the kitchen in particular is spectacular, beautifully finished with fantastic open views. On arrival everything was spotless and a thoughtful welcome gift was left for us. We enjoyed the hot tub, visiti ng the coast and local attractions, and eating out in the area (The Candlelight Inn and La Campagna were both highlights). Thanks for a great stay!

Purchases Barn was amazing! We stayed as two families, and it was perfect. The hot tub was lovely, especially when the stars were out! Inside was extremely spacious and comfortable. The owner was so lovely as well, and made sure the hot tub was clean and ready to use each morning. It was such a lovely place to all stay and enjoy, I would definitely recommend this property for a get away!

A fantastic 7 day stay at a beautiful and thoughtfully designed high spec modern property. Everything you could need was there on hand and we particularly enjoyed the roomy spaces inside and outside and the amazing hot tub.

The owner was friendly and always on hand for questions or any help. You will have an amazing time!

Fiona

Had a lovely holiday here. Really good size for 2 families, gorgeous views, nice and warm with the underfloor heating. Well equiped kitchen and everything was really clean. Easy to get to/find from the A303.

Teresa

Nicely laid out & decorated house, plenty space, comfortable beds and good location for getting around the area. Bathrooms very good, although the yellow spring water was a bit off putting. However our stay was marred by a few things. No mention of the mobile phone mast right next to the house, a severe fly problem ( they got everywhere including d ropping in our food) and lack of basic essentials that a property of this standard should have. Wi-fi was slow in living area, non existent elsewhere.

Lara

What an absolute gem ! Beautiful property in a stunning location. Very spacious and clean and a great base to explore the area.
