A truly wonderful location, the cottage was outstanding with great thought and care given to the accommodation. The welcome hamper was a pleasant surprise and generously supplied . We were made to feel very welcome.
Excellent modern barn conversion with a genuine "home-from-home" feel. Very well equipped throughout, very comfortable beds and plenty of space to relax. The welcome pack was very nice and the hosts were extremely friendly and approachable. Would definitely recommend as a great place to stay and explore both the countryside and coast which are easily accessible.
Lovely place. Lots of equipment though a few more mugs would be useful. Extremely pleasant family who were very helpful.
Beautiful cottage, spacious, clean and well equipped set in a peaceful rural location yet close enough to the many attractions Dorset has to offer. Had a really enjoyable week there and would highly recommend.
We have just enjoyed a lovely two week holiday at Rampisham Hill Farm Barn. It was a return visit and we loved it so much we have booked again for two weeks next year. The owners are so friendly and helpful, the cottage so well equipped and the location is perfect for us. We have stayed in many holiday cottages and this is certainly one of the very best.
Our second time at the farm and lovely to be back. Comfy, peaceful and beautiful spacious home. You can’t go wrong with Rural Retreats
A well equipped, clean and comfortable cottage in a great location. The owners were friendly and helpful. Some small additions would have given it five stars eg shade in the garden, shelving and mirrors in the bedrooms, a mop for the kitchen.
First class holiday home!
Very clean, comfortable and we'll presented. The fire, which we used a lit, was great. It was also a great experience watching the sheep & lambs and we were made to feel very welcome.
We recently stayed for a week during lambing. The hosts were fantastic They made us feel so welcome and were pleased to tell us all about the process of lambing, plus gave us the opportunity to see lambs being born. By the end of our week, we felt like we were part of the farming community. The house is lovely. It is beautifully furnished, clean, well equipped, warm and cosy. During the summer I would expect there would be a lot to keep all the family occupied with trips to the beach and wonderful walks, but during the cold winter we were more than happy to settle in front of the fire with a good book. We would like to thank our hosts for a memorable week and wish them all the best for the future.
A long overdue return to Rampisham after 5 years. It's still the amazing place it was. Hosts are wonderful, so kind and accommodating. This time we brought 3 small grandchildren and they loved meeting the animals and having a little pony ride! The cottage suited us, 3 generations, 3 bedroom suites. Allowed us some precious family time together for a few days. Everyone said they'd love to do it again so we hope to see you in 2024!
The house was beautiful. Well furnished, wonderful hamper of goodies, and the owners were lovely. What more could you ask for.
A return visit - everything provided was top notch. Comfy beds, pillows, well equipped facilities and delightful hosts. Thank you so much.
Perfect cottage in lovely location. David and Ruth were very helpful and friendly. Everything you need is supplied and it was a perfect place for a girls weekend away from it all.
This property is fabulous. The house is so clean, extremely well furnished and has everything you need. David and Ruth are very friendly and are there if you need anything. Would recommend to any of my family and friends.
The ideal holiday destination for a young family. We were made very welcome by our hosts who spent time engaging with our two young boys and supporting them in experiencing life on a farm.
Superb barn conversion, definitely worth 5 stars. The accommodation is high end, immaculate and lovely and warm! The owners have added everything you need and more. Really enjoyed our stay.
Rampisham Hall Farm Barn is one of the best holiday cottages we have ever stayed in. Lovely peaceful location, yet easy to find and access. Very well appointed and fully equipped with many extra touches. Very nicely furnished with lovely big comfortable beds. Everywhere was scrupulously clean. Lovely friendly and helpful owners, who went out of their way to make us welcome. We have already booked for two weeks next year!
We had a really lovely holiday at Rampisham Hill Farm. Extremely accommodating hosts who put up with us wandering about the lambing shed and gave us an educational tour of their amazing woollen mill. The house was perfect and had everything we needed. We enjoyed exploring Dorset and found plenty to do even in February. The weather was kind to us despite the wind from whichever storm it was that week! I wish Ruth and David all the very best with their endeavors. Thank you for having us to stay it was great to get to know you.
