About the host
Hosted by Penny & Claire
When you stay here, you’re booking with a family who lives and works onsite. I’m Claire and I help run The Victorian Barn Dorset with my parents, husband and children. We’ve lived in this part of Dorset for decades, and our family transformed the old farm buildings into the cottages and barns you see today.
We genuinely care about every guest’s experience, whether it’s your first visit or your fifth, and we love seeing people relax and reconnect here. Being a host means more than handing over a key. It’s about creating a space that feels welcoming, comfortable and easy to enjoy.
If you need anything during your stay, I’m never far away and always happy to help with tips, directions or local recommendations.

What makes this property unique
The Granary is a charming barn conversion which sleeps five and is ideal for a small family or a group of friends.

There’s plenty of space to play or unwind, and local attractions are just a short drive away. Whether you’re here for a weekend break or a longer stay, it’s a cosy base for your Dorset adventure.
