About the host
Hosted by Penny & Claire
You’re staying somewhere that’s personal to us, not just a business. I’m Claire and I live onsite with my husband and children. We run The Victorian Barn Dorset as a small family business, and we’ve welcomed guests here for many years.
What I enjoy most about hosting is hearing how families, friends and couples have made memories here. Whether it’s a child’s first swim, a quiet weekend away or a big celebration, it means a lot to us. We’ve created this space to be warm, relaxed and easy to enjoy, and we always aim to add little touches that make your stay feel special.
We’re not a big corporate setup and we like it that way. When you book with us, you’re supporting a family business that genuinely values your stay.

Why they chose this property
If you're planning a group getaway, this area gives you plenty of room to gather and breathe. There’s space here, not just inside, but outside too. You’re surrounded by fields, trails and sweeping views, so you’ll feel a million miles away from it all, yet you’re just a short drive from some of Dorset’s best-known attractions. You can split your days between exploring and unwinding, with everything from beaches to walking routes within easy reach.
What makes this property unique
Helena is a well laid out barn conversion which sleeps eight across four comfortable bedrooms and includes a private hot tub with views of the surrounding fields. It’s part of The Victorian Barn’s 65-acre estate and offers a peaceful rural setting with modern comfort. Guests of all ages enjoy the shared indoor pool and games room, and the cottage is perfect for multi-generational family trips or group stays. Relax, reconnect, and explore Dorset from the comfort of your own countryside base.
