The
Old Barn is a beautiful holiday cottage, converted from an old cow
byre and situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Downstairs
there is a large farmhouse kitchen with washing machine, dishwasher
and microwave which links to a large living area with extremely comfortable
furnishings, wood burning stove, TV and video machine. Upstairs are
two double bedrooms, both en suite. The first bedroom has a double
cast iron bed, the second bedroom has a kingsize bed which can be
converted into two singles if required. The let includes all electricity and linen.
A basket of wood and kindling will be provided free of charge, further
logs will be available to buy should you need them. Coffee, tea and
milk on arrival are complimentary.
The Old Barn is on an organic farm in the magical Kingcombe Valley amid 600 acres of the Dorset Wildlife Trust. The farm produces organic beef and lamb which, subject to availability, you may buy during your stay. The Wessex Ridgeway and the Jubilee Trail cross
the farm and there are many long and short walks to try without
the need of a car. Should you want to start your holiday with minimum hassle, for £8.50 per head, I can leave a casserole made from organic ingredients and a bottle of wine for two. Red and white wine will be available to purchase during your stay from our help yourself wine rack in the kitchen. The cottage is non-smoking and a 50% deposit is required with the booking, and the balance paid 3 weeks prior to arrival at the cottage. On departure we ask you to leave the cottage as you found it. "Huge amounts of love and energy have been
poured into making this barn so beautifully stylish. Its owners
are London escapees, bringing with them an interior flair not usually
found between the walls of the average Dorset cow byre. It's super
snug, too, with coir carpets, tapestry-style curtains, the odd carefully
place antique, white sinky sofas, a smattering of books on pine
shelves and a wood-burning stove. In the kitchen, with its Belfast
sink and wooden worktops, a large farmhouse table sits marooned
on a sea of wide flagstones. the attic-like bedrooms - cosy affairs
- lie under the eaves, with duck-egg blue walls, l toile de Jouy
curtains and pretty duvet covers. The barn sits on the edge of the
Kingcombe meadows Nature Reserve (SSSI) and Centre, a stunning stretch
of wildflower meadows and organic farmland. The centre runs fantastic
music, art and educational courses. Sunnyside Farm is an organic
one, so drop in on the wonderful farm shop next door."
