Lovely CL

Just got back from 5 very hot days at this lovely CL Site, large hardstanding pitches with EHU and individual water taps. Lots of space between each pitch and grass between the hardstandings. The owner Len is extremely friendly and helpful and makes sure you are happy and the site is well maintained. Easy access off the main A35, just a couple of hundred yards down a country lane and although you can hear a very slight hum of traffic, the site is very quiet and peaceful. Loads to do in the area especially if you like coastal walks, Dorset is exceptionally beautiful. Lovely to meet Len and his border collie, Jess, we had a great time and will be back. Thanks for a great holiday Bev and Terry.

Fabulous site

Absolutely loved this site! The pitches were spacious and very well maintained. The CDP was spotlessly clean and the free wi-fi was a bonus. The site is central to all tourist destinations in the area and the local beaches are a definite must to visit. The owner Len and his canine companion, Jess, were very welcoming and knowledgeable about the local area. We had a very relaxing and peaceful stay here and we will definitely return in the future.

Great CL

We stayed at Barnhouse Retreat this week. What a great site. Peaceful, well designed and extremely well maintained. Greater by Len, who gave use all the information needed. Good WiFi. Sad to leave, but will definitely book again. I can see this CL becoming a regular visit.

The Perfect CL

The CL is tucked away off the busy A35. We had a lovely welcome from Len who showed us to our pitch. Spacious pitches - hardstanding with an area of close mown grass to one side, so you have good elbow room between you and your neighbour. Drinking water supplied to each pitch. Grey waste water emptying point close by, and an up to the mark Elsan chemical emptying place - not just a hole in the ground. A really well kept and obviously loved CL.

Excellent CL, welcoming and helpful owners and free Wifi a great bonus.

I can only confirm all the very positive reviews to say this is indeed an exemplary CL in every way. It is newly established and much expense and thought has been put into the layout and facilities, which are kept very clean and well organised, especially the toilet emptying point and recycling area. The level hardstandings are very well constructed. Len is very friendly and likes a good conversation, covering many aspects of the area, and was very helpful when we seemed to have a problem with the caravan, which actually corrected itself. Free WiFi was an very much appreciated bonus, still rarely offered on CLs. The location is peaceful, on a quiet lane along which we enjoyed walks to the local village Uploders, and although there is some traffic noise from the A35, its nearness meant very easy access to Bridport, Lyme Regis, Dorchester and Poole during our stay. Bridport is a fascinating town with many independent shops, while Dorchester occupied us for two days, visiting Hardy's Max Gate and the excellent Dorset Museum. The famous Dorset coast and path is also easily accessible from the site, at Burton Bradstock.

What a site, Just got back after spending 4 nights at Barn House Retreat and we wished we booked more, We got an email the day before as Len was going to be out telling us the pitch no and wifi password Yes Free Wifi and it was good speed as well, Len came round and introduced himself to us and pointed the waste and water points, always had time for a chat, Jess the sheep dog always came for a stroke. Great site and the area is brill and will be making a return trip in near future, Thanks Len, Linda and Jess

Excellent site !

We have just returned from a 5 night stay. The site was everything we wished for, from the level quiet site to the superb location for the section of coast that we wanted to explore. Len was the perfect host who told us everything we wanted to know, from walks to the best pub ! His companion Jess was the sweetest dog and we laughed every time we left the site as she rounded us up as though we were a flock of sheep. All round cracking site and holiday Thanks Kevin

Good location

Had a lovely ten night stay here and was made to feel very welcome from the start to end of it. We really liked the location being so handy to get into Bridport town and also the lovely beaches nearby. The children particularly enjoyed these. Also Jess the dog is so lovely and made us smile with her attempts to round everything and anyone up. We will definitely be back. Thanks Len and Sandra.
