Purchases Barn Reviews

Emma
The barn was lovely-spotless, cosyand really calming. Di, the owner, was super friendly and made us feel right at home. Our dog Cassie adored the garden; she even got a chance to flush out some pheasants, which she loved. Great stay!
Emily
Our group of 8, including kids, grandparentsand two dogs, had an amazing stay. The view was breathtakingand the layout of two doubles and two twins suited us perfectly. We loved the hot tub - a hit with everyone! The garden was huge and kept the dogs happy all day. The place was so peaceful and well-equipped, really high standards. Plus, the location made it easy to visit nearby beaches and towns. Di was super helpful too. We’d definitely love to come back someday!
Emma Carter
The views here are absolutely stunningand Diana, the owner, really makes you feel welcome. We had a lovely time and would definitely recommend staying at this charming cottage!
Emma
We recently stayed at Purchasers Barn for a girls' weekend, celebrating my 60th. The place is beautifully decorated, with such a lovely layout and stunning views that really make it special. We loved the cosy atmosphere the aga created, especially after getting caught in the rain during a walk-definitely a highlight! Our host was incredibly helpful and friendly, making us feel so welcome. It’s the perfect spot for relaxing and catching upand we left feeling refreshed. Would definitely recommend for a peaceful escape!
Emma
The barn was spotless and really spacious, perfect for our family gathering. The fixtures felt top-notchand we thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub. Using the AGA was definitely a highlight of the stay!
Emily
Really enjoyed our stay! The place was spotless and felt really cosy. The owner was super friendly and let us check in early, which was great. The views are absolutely breathtakingand we loved the thoughtful touches like milk and cookies on arrival. Definitely coming back!
Emily
The place was spotless, had all we neededand the views were stunning. The host responded quickly and was really friendly. Can't wait to come back!
James
We had an amazing stay for my 60th birthday! The house was beautifully maintained and thoughtfully designed. The garden was perfect for our dogs-they really enjoyed exploring, though one did manage to escape twice into the lower field, which was a bit nerve-wracking since she’s a bit of a digger. The large garden and ample parking were great, but some extra lighting would help in the evenings, as it gets quite dark out there.
Emma
This place really impressed us! The setting was stunningand the house felt spacious and cosy, with comfy beds. The hot tub was a real highlight. Can’t wait to return next year, definitely recommended!
Emma
We had such a lovely stay here! The property is nestled in stunning surroundingsand the barn had everything we needed-plenty of space for our group of four adults and three kids. The garden was perfect for our dog, with amazing viewsand the hot tub was a real hit, used daily. The location is ideal, close to loads of attractionsand the coast is just half an hour away. Huge thanks to Di for being such a great host. We definitely need to come back- a week wasn’t enough!
James
Perfect for unwinding here

We really enjoyed our time at Purchases Barn. It’s super tidy and spacious, with comfy beds. The best part was definitely the stunning views during sunrise and sunset. Would happily return!
Emma
Just got back from New Year’s here and honestly, what a lovely stay! The barn was spotless, probably the cleanest holiday let we’ve ever been in - felt like we were the first guests ever! The outdoor space was perfect for our dog to run free, fully secure. The views are stunningand the kids enjoyed spotting pheasants and deer. Honestly, we couldn’t find a single fault. Can’t wait to come back!
Emma Parker
We had such a great week at Purchases Barn! The place was spotless when we arrived and had everything we needed, which was lovely.

The owner was friendly and always available if we needed anything. We’d definitely come back!
Emma Carter
We had a great stay! The place is spacious enough for two families, with stunning views and cosy underfloor heating. The kitchen was fully stocked, very cleanand easy to find off the A303. Loved it!
Emma Johnson
We really enjoyed the house’s lovely decor and spacious layout, making it a comfy stay. The beds were super cosy and the location was perfect for exploring the area. Bathrooms were spot on, though the yellow spring water was a bit strange. A couple of issues dampened things - we weren’t told about the mobile mast right outsideand the flies were relentless, even dropping into our food! Also, some basic essentials were missingand the Wi-Fi was patchy, which was a bit frustrating. Still, overall, not bad at all.
