“This is the third time I've stayed, previously it was booked under my parents name (Mr & Mrs Wilson) it's become a family tradition.”

I can honestly say it is like a second home now, my parents and I always enjoy staying and this visit was no different. I look forward to our next visit.

“Had a nice few days staying in Corner Barn.”

Great place to stay.

Julia September 2024

“We've now stayed at Hedge End Farm three times, once in New Barn and twice in Corner Barn.”

It's in a great location, there is a nice garden with trees and plenty of parking. Also it's very quiet at night with little passing traffic which is good for sleeping.

- Julia, September 2024
Amanda September 2024

“We had the most wonderful few days in the corner barn.”

The setting is beautiful and the barn was so well equipped and beautifully clean. The beds were comfortable and the sofas were comfortable too. Lots of thought has gone into making the experience of staying there pleasurable. The property is surrounded by stunning countryside but central to reaching places like Poole and Christchurch both of which we visited. We have already booked for next year.

- Amanda, September 2024
Sandy July 2024

“Ideal for our stay in Dorset, the barn was very well equipped, quiet and peaceful surroundings.”

Will definitely be back!

- Sandy, July 2024
Hannah July 2024

“The property is stunning and suited our needs perfectly (2 adults, 1 teen, 1 preteen and our dog).”

The games room was very popular with our kids (and my husband!) and the garden area was perfect for the dog. It's in a perfect location too - we visited Lyme Regis for fossil hunting, Poole and Bournemouth, Sherbourne Old Castle and Durdle Door, all of which were around 30-40 mins away in the car. A highlight was visiting Dorset Adventure Park which is overlooked by Corfe Castle - we went on a very rainy day and it was really good fun even in the rain! I'm going to be recommending Corner Barn to everyone I know

- Hannah, July 2024

Hannah, thank you for your lovely feedback. You brought a smile to my face this morning as I read it. Thanks for your booking and so glad you enjoyed your holiday. Margaret (owner) Property Owner
Trudy July 2024

“Lovely short stay at the Corner Barn, spacious and comfortable living and well equipped kitchen (thank you for providing more than the one fork and knife per person so many places don’t nowadays!”

). Extra bonus of having Podpoint charging stations for our electric car at a very reasonable rate. The only downside to our property was the kitchen and dining area were poorly lighted (we were there when it was grey and rainy) making it hard to see things such as settings on the toaster etc. and dingy to eat. The rest of the barn was lovely and light though. Highly recommend visiting the National Trust property Kingston Lacy and on a rainy day the local Royal Signal Museum.

- Trudy, July 2024
Mandy June 2024

“Lovely accommodation.”

The milk and biscuits were a thoughtful touch. Thank you

- Mandy, June 2024
Colin May 2024

“Unfortunately we had an issue with the shower but the owner came round and did a temporary fix.”

We also had a day without power due to maintenance which was very challenging for us. Disappointed not even a pint of milk was left for us most cottages do. Very comfy barn and lovely for a dog would return if in the area.

- Colin, May 2024
Nathaniel April 2024

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.”

Comfortable and what you'd need for a short break. Thank you!

- Nathaniel, April 2024
Paul March 2024

“Lovely comfortable accommodation in a peaceful location.”

Plenty of local dog walks and within easy distance of Dorset attractions. Only criticism, the shower curtains could be a bit longer.

- Paul, March 2024
Karen March 2024

“Everything thing and more at this beautiful barn.”

Comfortable, clean and would highly recommend, surrounded by a very pretty village and countryside.

- Karen, March 2024
Jacqueline March 2024

“We loved Corner Barn - very clean, very quiet, very comfortable and very well equipped, and look forward to coming back.”

The only downside was how gloomy the kitchen area is for cooking in the evening - some extra light would be much appreciated.

- Jacqueline, March 2024
Sarah February 2024

“I had a lovely stay at Corner Barn with my partner, 11 year old son, and 2 year old daughter.”

The accommodation was just as described and we really enjoyed using the games room. Thank you!

- Sarah, February 2024
Kerry December 2023

“Lovely accommodation - everything provided you could need.”

Remote location - pub within a mile - lovely walks directly from barn. Excellent location- for exploring Dorset.

- Kerry, December 2023
Julie December 2023

“Lovely few days away at Corner Barn.”

Great accommodation and lovely to have a Christmas Tree in the barn to welcome us.

- Julie, December 2023
Nicola October 2023

“This is our third year of renting.”

Lovely and comfortable , feels like coming home . Used the games room for the first time as our son came with us , good fun. I would just say the curtains in the main bedroom are looking a bit drab and bedding is the same as it has been for the 3 years we have been using. But we love it .

- Nicola, October 2023
Lucy October 2023

“A lovely cottage, very comfortable, clean and well equipped.”

We had a lovely time, enjoyed the log burner in the evenings and made good use of the games room which is great. The only small thing that would improve it is bigger bath towels.

- Lucy, October 2023
Michelle September 2023

“We had a great stay in Corner Barn.”

We stayed as 3 adults - my husband and I and my father in law, as well as 1 dog. Having 2 bathrooms was perfect though do note the main bedroom is not en suite. It is next to its own bathroom but not connected directly so you do have to go in to the main room briefly. I like a firm bed but I did find the main bed a bit too firm. A mattress topper would have made it much more comfortable for me. The cottage was amazingly equipped though - any cooking utensils you could want, more crockery than just for 4 people, full tea, coffee and sugar, a hoover, broom, mop and even laundry detergent and dishwasher tablets. I’ve never used so little of my own stuff that I’ve brought! The bridle path opposite the cottage leads up to a lovely woodland walk where you can find a war memorial hidden in the woods where a pilot lost his life in the war. If you’re walking your dogs up the bridle path, please do pick up your dog mess - too many people were leaving it, making it a bit of a gauntlet! Good location for visiting lots of the Dorset coast. We’d definitely stay again!

- Michelle, September 2023
Charles September 2023

“Really clean and lovely , everything you could need , just a thought though ...”

Really clean and lovely , everything you could need , just a thought though maybe you can supply a mattress topper memory foam etc for the main bed as i found it far too hard for myself , i could not sleep on it

- Charles, September 2023
Jenny September 2023

“We loved the position of Corner Barn - it felt tucked away and private.”

It was a perfect base for exploration.

- Jenny, September 2023
Matt August 2023

“On arriving it was evident that the place was immaculate, clean and very well maintained.”

I really appreciated that and immediately felt relaxed. Everything I wanted from a holiday cottage including quality dishwasher, superb broadband, comfort and facilities. Very open plan kitchen and living area, but the electric heaters effective plus fire would keep you toasty in winter. The setting around a common lawn balances privacy but also community.

- Matt, August 2023
Jane August 2023

“Had a lovely stay in this property.”

It was actually nicer than it looked in the photos! Spacious, and immaculately clean, I would definitely stay here again. First holiday with our dog and it was absolutely perfect for her to be able to come in and out of the secure garden. The games room was a great bonus for our children they loved the air hockey.

- Jane, August 2023
Susan August 2023

“Could not fault the Corner Barn, It was prefect for are needs.”

The games room was a ideal for my son and his grandparents to use while I cooked the meals. The Bridle path walk up into the woods was such a lovely walk for the dog we went at least twice a day. My son took his scooter and with Blandford Forum amazing outdoor Skatepark only 10 minutes up the road, one of us was there for a couple of hours each day.

- Susan, August 2023
Ian January 2023

“A great property, well equipped with nice view of the hill opposite.”

Wood burner a nice addition for cosy winter evenings. We will be back.

- Ian, January 2023
Anne December 2022

“Another relaxing, comfortable stay at Hedge End Farm Cottages despite the weather!”

We've already booked again for November.

- Anne, December 2022
Tim November 2022

“Great presentation, warm and cosy, good location for the South Coast - thank you”

- Tim, November 2022
Andy October 2022

“Lovely as ever ,we feel really at home and would definitely recommend.”

We will be re booking.

- Andy, October 2022
Richard August 2022

“What a fantastic break.”

Clean and tidy property ,exactly as advertised. Couldn’t wish for a better break.loved the property, particularly in the heat. Lovely and quiet location within easy distance of Blandford forum. Very dog friendly which was good for Coco….

- Richard, August 2022
Anne July 2022

“Corner Barn is a great place to stay.”

The property was clean and extremely well equipped. I know not everyone cooks on holiday but if you do everything you needed was there - saucepans, cooking trays, casserole and baking dishes etc with enough crockery to wait to fill the dishwasher before putting it on! It was nice to have our own small enclosed garden outside the property too We did lots of walks from the property into the woods and along the farm tracks. Although we were inland, it didn’t feel that we were far from the coast either - around 45 minutes to the coast. We visited Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door, Studland Bay and Poole. We did a walk in the New Forest using the New Forest app which was great. We would definitely recommend the property and hope to return again soon.

- Anne, July 2022
Brian June 2022

“Corner barn is well situated and the charging point provided is an excellent plus for those of us with electric cars.”

The site is well maintained, and private. Furniture is clean, leather suite well cared for, scandi style floors make care easy. Directions good. Would have liked an extra seat in the lounge area and the external benches are a bit pub garden uncomfortable. Would say the two singles arrangement is probably more fitting for a family than two couples, but all in all a lovely place.

- Brian, June 2022
Brian April 2022

“Lovely peaceful place”

- Brian, April 2022
Terence March 2022

“We were after a short weekend break, to do a test drive of holidaying with our two Yorkies, who had never been away from home before.”

Needed to be not too far, (1.5hrs was a good target), needed to be dog friendly, with safe space for them at the accommodation area. This place ticked all the right boxes. And what a stunning little place! Finishings of a very high standard, very clean inside, very comfortable. The dogs were able to roam between the fenced-off garden and inside the accommodation without worry. Everything needed was supplied, with the bonus of a fireplace, enough wood for 2 nights, dishwasher, many various books, games room. etc. My only suggestion is perhaps to have an option to send £ rather than cash into an honesty box for the homemade jams, extra wood etc. (PayPal perhaps?) Can't remember when I last carried cash. Overall, I could go on and on with a review here, but that would be overkill. 10/10 recommended ... and I do think we'll be back again, very soon!

- Terence, March 2022
Sue March 2022

“We have stayed in several of the converted barns - all of them have been clean, comfortable, well equipped.”

Our stays have been really enjoyable. We appreciate the fact that with prior agreement with the owner we have been able to take all three of our dogs.

- Sue, March 2022
Liz February 2022

“We absolutely loved corner barn.”

Every aspect of the cottage was perfect! The kids particularly loved the games room which was a real added bonus for a winter stay. We will definitely be back!

- Liz, February 2022
Matthew December 2021

“Everything at Corner Barn is just perfect.”

Lovely furnished cottage, fully equipped kitchen, nice sofas, great log burner for cosy nights in and extremely comfy beds! Really couldn’t fault the barn at all. Our second visit, won’t be our last.

- Matthew, December 2021
Andy November 2021

“Great cottage very clean, warm and inviting we will be going back.”

- Andy, November 2021
Sue October 2021

“We have now stayed at Hedge End Farm four times in different barns.”

The little extra touches such as soap, cleaning products, Washing liquids and dishwasher tabs made life so easy. The property smelt fresh and was spotless. Bed was comfortable and information of the area and appliances was excellent. Can't wait until our next visit.

- Sue, October 2021
Carol September 2021

“What a great place to stay.”

Lovely and quiet but so many places to visit. The cottage was absolutely lovely, and so well equipped, we couldn’t find fault in anything. So beautifully clean to. Loved that each cottage had its own outside patio/grass which was great for our dog. We all had a good holiday and would definitely recommend Hedge End Farm Cottages

- Carol, September 2021
Nigel June 2021

“We really enjoyed our break in the corner barn, plenty of room and everything we needed.”

An excellent response when we reported an issue. Could do with brighter light bulbs or perhaps we are getting older! Excellent place to stay, would thoroughly recommend it.

- Nigel, June 2021
Angela June 2021

“Beautiful accommodation in a gorgeous location.”

Quite secluded but perfect for a quiet, relaxing holiday. We used it as a base to travel around Dorset with many of the bigger resorts an easy 45 mins drive away. We enjoyed it so much we have already booked to go back in September for a longer stay. The only negative was the sofa could probably do with replacing as we needed to use pillows for adequate support.

- Angela, June 2021
Susan May 2021

“Beautiful cottage located in a picturesque courtyard.”

Let down by the bathrooms - shower in en-suite of off the second bedroom is completely broken. In addition, very poor quality bedding makes for terrible sleep - the pillows are like sleeping on bricks. Suggest that these are changed immediately to significantly improve guest satisfaction.

- Susan, May 2021
Ruth October 2020

“The cottage is lovely with such good quality appliances.”

The bed was comfortable and we had everything we needed.

- Ruth, October 2020
Linda August 2020

“We had a lovely stay at corner barn.”

It was rural and relaxing. Some beautiful walks near by. We would recommend this for a quiet holiday.

- Linda, August 2020
Hannah July 2020

“We had the most wonderful week staying at the corner barn at the beginning of August 2020.”

The barn was extremely clean and despite covid measures milk, biscuits and tea, coffee and sugar were provided which was a lovely welcome gesture. Basic cleaning products were also stocked in the cupboards including washing up liquid, hand soap and tea towels. The barn is very spacious and the communal green space outside was a lovely safe area for our children to play. Unfortunately the games room was not open due to covid restrictions. Corner barn is set in a beautiful peaceful area. There is a nice pub just down the road in the village of Winterborne Stickland called the Crown, which was open on certain days. Seating was provided outside due to covid. A large tesco and other shops are only a 10 minute drive to Blandford forum. Corner barn was a great base for exploring the stunning Jurassic coast which was about a 40 minute drive away. We had lots of days at different beaches and enjoyed crabbing in Weymouth harbour with the children. We also went on a lovely walk up bulbarrow hill which is one of the highest points and has lovely views of the coast. I would definitely recommend staying here and would visit again as we had such a great holiday.

- Hannah, July 2020
Derrick September 2019

“A couple of points: the shower room has a rusty (metal)soap tray so we left our soap on the floor whilst having a shower.”

We left a note to tell the owners to replace. The toaster had crumbs so had not been cleaned. We did not use it and used the grill instead. Also put this in the note. A few points that they might like to observe: They need to get stronger lighting as the open plan area was quite dark I ended up putting a bedroom lamp on the kitchen units! The slate shingle was difficult to walk on where the parking was its possible without strong shoes on to slip, sandals were difficult to walk on it. for your information: Hedge End is a good 4 miles to drive to so anyone wanting to be close to amenities might find it a drag to drive to Blandford Forum, there is no local shop now in Winterborne Stickland, I understand from locals the local shop closed down 2 years ago. Google unfortunately shows the shop! Apart from that we enjoyed our stay at the barn and the milk and cake when we arrived was a nice gesture.( I see below you ask would we like you to publish our feedback we have put the above for your information so they can correct the rusty tray and dirty toaster! so they might not want that on...

- Derrick, September 2019
Helen August 2019

“Well what can I say.”

... we had the most fantastic holiday staying in the corner barn. Our children loved the games room. Corner barn was very well equipped a lovely place to stay will recommend to friends and family. The weather was kind to us too. Lots of places to visit such as Bournemouth, Weymouth where we could spend time on the beach with our children and dog. We also visited Swanage railway where we enjoyed a ride on the steam train, we also visited Durdle door for the first time and was amazing to see, Lyme Regis was lovely too. Hedge end farm was in a good location so we could get from place to place very easily by car.

Rosemary July 2019

“A spacious and well equipped cottage.”

- Rosemary, July 2019
Lynda May 2019

“Corner Barn is a perfect holiday home.”

Comfy, warm, clean and everything has been thought of. The small fully enclosed front garden was perfect for our two dogs imbetween lots of lovely long walks. There is a bridle path just across the lane from the cottage that leads up into beautiful woods which was carpeted with bluebells when we visited. The surrounding countryside is all stunning and we grew up in Cornwall and live in Devon so thought we had the monopoly on breathtaking views. We are already trying to identify a week to return to this cottage.

- Lynda, May 2019
Andy February 2019

“Lovely clean cottage.”

Milk in the fridge and cake on the table when we arrived were a welcome surprise.

- Andy, February 2019
Holly August 2018

“Corner Barn was a real treasure.”

It was larger than the photographs suggested (we couldn't find a way to capture the size in photos either!) and the owners had thought of everything. From a cake, coffee, tea and milk waiting for our arrival, to a comprehensive booklet of cottage information and tips on local places to visit, we wanted for nothing. The cottage was well-stocked with all basic household items, and there was even a hosepipe outside to rinse down a muddy dog after a day out. It made an excellent base for us to explore the area. The building seemed well-insulated so we didn't use the wood stove or electric heaters, nor could we hear any of our neighbours. All in all, a lovely place for a relaxing getaway. The TV has spare HDMI ports and the WiFi strength was perfect so we connected a tablet and had family movie nights in the evenings after long days of hiking and swimming along the nearby coast.

- Holly, August 2018
Joanna July 2018

“Corner Barn was the perfect holiday cottage.”

I would highly recommend this property to families in particular. The games room was great feature and kept the children entertained for hours. The cottage is in a beautiful location and accessible to many local attractions. We had a great holiday in Dorset with great accommodation.

- Joanna, July 2018
Janet June 2018

“Corner Barn is part of the Hedge End barn conversions and is utterly delightful!”

The cottage came with a secure, fenced grass area (with a picnic style table) making a safe place for the dog to wander before his daily walks (great walking right on the doorstep too). The cottage itself was very comfortable, with everything you'd need for an enjoyable stay. We made use of the games room (Big Barn) for table tennis and billiards/snooker/pool (?) The cottage is well placed to explore both Dorset and Devon, although some of the country roads can be a bit narrow!. We'd love to come back with our daughters and their families, as it suits all ages (the play equipment in the Big Barn is great for small children) and families with dogs. The opportunity to buy rapeseed oil and flour produced by the farm was another bonus, as was the lemon cake and milk ready for our arrival. Thank you for a great mini-break!

- Janet, June 2018
Anthony March 2018

“Quality of bedding and beds could be better.”

Shower in ensuite not hot enough. Dog poo in car park.

- Anthony, March 2018
Nick March 2018

“Perfect holiday location - the owners and their staff have gone over and above to ensure the guests feel welcome.”

- Nick, March 2018
Diane January 2018

“It was brilliant even in the winter!”

Already recommended it to a number of people.

- Diane, January 2018
Jodie November 2017

“By far the best self catering accommodation we've stayed in.”

An extremely high standard which is not what we were expecting for a dog friendly cottage. Would recommend over and over!!!

- Jodie, November 2017
Samantha November 2017

“The corner barn was fantastic.”

Spacious. Great facilities. VERY clean. Loved the play barn facilities and the gardens being enclosed was a godsend with having a dog. Parking was great too. We felt at home as soon as we walked through the door. All items were provided in the kitchen which was lovely and spacious and made cooming easy. We definately will return.

- Samantha, November 2017
Shirley July 2017

“The only minor detail that we did not like was the twin bed bedroom.”

None of us recall seeing it on the website. We did not feel that this was an ideal room for two adults.

- Shirley, July 2017
Susan June 2017

“My second visit here, this time with my sister and 2 dogs as a much needed getaway .”

As before we could not fault anything .

- Susan, June 2017
Linda May 2017

“Lovely cottage, equipped with good quality equipment and furnishings.”

- Linda, May 2017
Belinda April 2017

“Luxury equipped cottage with high spec furniture.”

Loved the wood burner.

- Belinda, April 2017
Miles February 2017

“Lighting could be brighter in kitchen area.”

All in all, though, a gem of a cottage. As this was my second visit to this property in here months, I knew exactly what to expect .

- Miles, February 2017
Miles November 2016

“Cottage was brilliant, easily the best let we have taken.”

Usually we find there are items, such as washing soap, scourers, kitchen paper, not provided. Corner Barn provided just about everything we could need to make our week stay a truly worry free holiday. The appliances were all of a high standard, and felt new. Household utility items were all neatly stored. There was a well documented book of appliance instructions, and during our stay, we found the Internet connection always worked, and fast enough for our needs. It was sometimes the little things that impressed us. The well sourced water, free of chlorination, was great, either neat, or in tea. We had some nights of ground frost, and found the cottage stayed warm, even just using the electric radiators. With the wood burning stove suppling heat as well, things were really cozy. Did we have any problems? Well, we never got to grips with the wi-fi linked TV. The guide made it sound easy, but to be honest, most nights we preferred to read or watch a DVD, so we never tried that hard to understand the system. We had a lovely time. The mid Dorset setting, just below the Ridgeway, with loads of good walking straight from the front door was our main reason for booking. The dog loved the holiday as much as we did. Any suggestions for improvement? A hosepipe in the central courtyard, so dirty footware and muddy dogs could be cleaned would be appreciated. Perhaps there already is such a facility, but we never found it.

- Miles, November 2016
Kevin October 2016

“The whole complex is tastefully presented with a clean modern feel.”

Definitely worth a revisit. Minor points to note. 1: a few cobwebs especially high in main bathroom. 2: no batteries in blue ray remote 3: I found the cutlery unpleasant to use a the handles were too slender. 4: Unlike the other dogs we saw there mine are large working dogs who will get as muddy as the can as quickly as possible, so some sort of garden hose would have been handy after a long day walking. The dry weather this weekend meant that this was not such a problem.

- Kevin, October 2016
Philip September 2016

“As it was October and cottage was north facing our personal garden was in shade all week which was a shame as weather was great as was cottage and complex.”

I would certainly return but would get a south facing cottage. Great walks with dogs and some spectacular views.

- Philip, September 2016
Brian August 2016

“The peacefull location and excellent property,”

- Brian, August 2016
Margaret June 2016

“The property was well appointed so it was a home from home.”

- Margaret, June 2016
Kathy November 2015

“We really liked the garden with the cottage as we had our dog with us and it was just perfect.”

We stay in many cottages for holidays with our dog and this was lovely. My only concern was the road, however once the large gate was closed there would be no way he could have got out. The cottage was warm, cosy, very clean and all fitments were of a high standard.

- Kathy, November 2015
Julia November 2015

“What a fabulous find.”

Such a beautiful cottage in a beautiful setting, ideally situated for exploring this part of Dorset. We were impressed by the attention to detail and the cottage was spotlessly clean.

- Julia, November 2015
Colin September 2015

“Our third week in the cottage in two years and will be booking again for next year.”

Very Spacious and well located.

- Colin, September 2015
Sara July 2015

“Corner Barn was fabulous, very well equipped.”

There was absolutely nothing they had not thought of. It was even better than we expected.

- Sara, July 2015
Paul June 2015

“The location was excellent with many places to visit within a short travelling distance.”

The cottage was spacious, the overall quality of the site and property was excellent.

- Paul, June 2015
Jane February 2015

“Had good walking from the cottage.”

It was very much better than other cottages we have stayed in and was excellent for dogs.

- Jane, February 2015
Andrew February 2015

“I would highly recommend this property.”

Great position for visiting Dorset. Excellent facilities in the barn and very spacious. Our boys loved the games room, which is good to fall back on in the rain.

- Andrew, February 2015
Kim December 2014

“Beautifully located, quiet and fantastically kept property.”

From the furnishings to the standard of cleanliness, couldn't fault it.

- Kim, December 2014
Karen November 2014

“Liked the added extras in the kitchen and great quality linen - furnishings were all high spec so it was a proper home from home.”

- Karen, November 2014
Colin September 2014

“The cottage was excellent in every way , very spacious and very well equipped.”

Set in a secluded area 10 minutes drive from Blandford. We drove to the coast most days and were blessed with some fantastic weather. We will be booking again for next year.

- Colin, September 2014
Colin August 2014

“It was well laid out, the games room was a welcome addition as on one of our days it was raining throughout the whole day.”

The Barn was well equipped and covered all our needs and more. We have already recommended to some of our family and they will hopefully be booking the same location in the near future. We would highly recommend this property to anybody needing a quiet and lovely location that was central to lots of attractions around the area.

- Colin, August 2014
Paul August 2014

“The Barn was private, the site was quiet and the garden was reasonably secure for the pets.”

The internet and the television service was very good for the location. The information provided for the area was very useful for the local shops, eating out and just about the farm itself which was good to know. Lots of guides about good places to go and also where dogs were allowed was helpful to us on planning our day. The standard of the furniture could not be faulted and the welcoming cake was a nice surprise, along with the basics of making a hot drink. The heating of the Barn was very good and the logs for the burner were not needed. Would recommend the local pub as we ate there every night or had a takeaway from them and the food was lovely as were the people who ran it.

- Paul, August 2014
Vanessa July 2014

“The Corner Barn was very comfortable and in a great location to explore the surrounding areas.”
