About the host

Hosted by Penny & Claire

Host profile image
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

You and your dog will love this part of Dorset. You can walk for miles through the surrounding countryside, explore woodland trails, or visit one of the many dog-friendly pubs nearby. It’s peaceful, open, and full of natural beauty. Whether you’re here for a weekend or a longer break, it’s a perfect place to slow down and spend quality time with your pet in nature.

What makes this property unique

The Lodge is one of our dog-friendly options at The Victorian Barn Dorset, offering the ideal base for you and your four-legged friend to explore the beautiful Dorset countryside. With miles of walks on the doorstep and open fields all around, it’s a peaceful spot where dogs and owners can relax. Set within our 65-acre rural estate, the cottage combines rustic charm with modern comforts and includes access to our indoor heated pool, sauna, and play areas. Whether you're planning lazy mornings or active days out, it’s a lovely space to unwind together.
