Unique location and extremely well appointed barn. Very easy access to south west path and places to visit.
This barn is beautiful and in a wonderful setting. We walked for miles and miles from our doorstep and watched deer in our garden and surrounding fields every day. Dorset is always gorgeous and Blagdon Lower Bar has taken it to another level. Lizzie, the owner, is super helpful and the housekeeper Sue has the whole place immaculate with a great welcome hamper. If we can squeeze in another holiday ,we will certainly book again.
Great comfortable accommodation in a wonderful secluded location. Dear roaming and a kestrel hovering close by.
Blagdon Lower Barn is a well designed barn conversion set amid beautiful scenery, perfect for countryside walks. It’s also well located for coastal visits. The barn itself has lots of space and is extremely well equipped. A wonderful rural retreat !
This accommodation has everything, a wonderful place to recharge. Great facilities, super clean and comfy and lots of little extra touches, would highly recommend
Blagdon Lower Barn is perfection. It is in an idyllic setting with breathtaking views . Absolutely everything has been thought of to make your stay wonderful. A well stocked kitchen to really comfortable beds and great outdoor furniture. Small details like outdoor blankets and towels for the beach give an idea as to the thought the owners have gone to to make the stay perfect. We have stayed in numerous Rural Retreat properties and this is the best one due to location and facilities. We wouldn’t hesitate to go back or recommend 100%.
The place was beautiful and very well equipped. The only thing I would change is to put a shower curtain up in the main bedroom so one could shower
Beautiful Isolated barn, ideal with a pet. Indoor space, great for a group. Kitchen great with all amenities and kitchen roll, tin foil, spices etc supplied, everything you require. Brewers Arms pub half an hour walk away, food excellent. Log burner and underfloor heating, wonderful. Communication with owner top class. Loved it!
We had a wonderful Christmas break at the barn. The surrounding landscape is beautiful and the barn itself is very spacious with wonderful views of all the local wildlife. Everything we needed was there, it's very well serviced for cooking and entertainment / games.
Lovely barn in lovely location, well presented and has everything you need. Well located for the coast or walking in the countryside, lots of wildlife all around everyone you look out. Good holiday had by all and will go back.
Good place apart from no WiFi and the flies in the doors and windows
Thank you for your review for our special property Blagdon Lower Barn. The wifi at the barn is now excellent and regarding flies in the windows and doors - this is a very rare problem (cluster flies) that happens normally for just a few days of the year in rural properties. The flies are not harmful to humans and they are not a constant in one location.
Beautifully designed and comfortable barn, very spacious and well equipped. We were celebrating 3 birthdays and a wedding in our family so there was lots of food preparation involved. There were plenty of glasses, cutlery and china, not to mention all the kitchen equipment, so we were never stuck for anything and never ran out. We loved the different seating areas which included an upstairs balcony - so much room for the six of us and a toddler. Everything was perfect and we had a lovely few days. A peaceful location too, with deer, a kestrel and pheasants close by.
Wonderful barn great secluded location but still near to walking routes beaches and main towns.. Perfect for a large family or group holiday
Wonderful location, away from it all, so happy to be back again, and perfect weather was icing on the cake!
A fantastic, top quality holiday base. Large and airy with plenty of space, wonderful views and many extra touches to make our stay so enjoyable. We definitely plan to visit again!
Simply but perfectly converted barn in a very secluded dip in the landscape. French windows out onto grass and fields beyond. Our dogs thought they were in heaven.
Lovely barn conversion in beautiful countryside, very secluded and great for dogs and walking.
A spectacular property!! The barn is beautiful and he setting is amazing. Fields as far as you can see and abundant wildlife. A very well appointed property with every little detail well thought through. Sue and Liz couldn’t have been more helpful. Had a wonderful relaxing and peaceful holiday and will be booking again.
What amazing feedback for our gorgeous property Blagdon Lower Barn. Thank you so much for taking the trouble to leave your comments.
Fantastic location and equipped to a high standard. The perfect retreat to get away from it all. Great communication from the hosts, Lizzie and John, could not have done more for us. From the very generous hamper to the great communication re our stay. Thank you
