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.
