Beautiful, comfortable, spacious cottage with all the equipment needed for a holiday. We're so pleased we found this gem to celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary.Helen the host helped make our stay extra special. We were welcomed to a wonderful food and drink hamper, flowers and card. She recommended places to eat and visit.There are lots of great places to explore including Lulworth Cove, Sculptures by the Lake and surprisingly The Tank Museum. Good to use the local buses, trains and walk to three pubs and the small shops.

We really enjoyed our stay at Meadow Barn. It's very comfortable, attractively presented and equipped with everything we could possibly need. Helen, our host, was very friendly and communication was excellent both before and during our stay. The cottage is in an ideal location for some great walks and we spent several days at the coast. There are some nice local pubs and the nearby village of Wool has a good range of amenities. We would happily stay at Meadow Barn again and would thoroughly recommend!
