Overview

The Victorian Barn provides self-catering holiday cottages suitable for families. These cottages are on a 65-acre farm in rural Dorset, only a 30-minute drive from the famous Jurassic Coast. The facilities the Victorian Barn offers include an indoor heated swimming pool, sauna, games room, outdoor play area, and private hot tubs.

Activities

There are plenty of child-friendly activities to keep kids of all ages entertained during their holiday. The site’s top recommendation is the indoor heated swimming pool in a charming pine log cabin. This fantastic pool guarantees a fun activity every day of the holiday, no matter what the weather is like outside.

There is an indoor games room equipped with a pool table, table football, quiz machine, board games, and books. For those who prefer more active pursuits, then enjoy an impressive activity center located in another pine lodge. This center features a badminton court, table tennis, Jenga, and floor games. Lastly, there is a lovely outdoor children’s play area, complete with a swing, slide, playhouse, and two trampolines.

Parents who enjoy fishing can fish in the three on-site coarse fishing lakes, which are open year-round.

Food

There’s a pub nearby, perfect for casual dinners or drinks in the sun.

The properties include smaller cottages, which can sleep up to four people, and larger ones like Leopold or Helena (which can sleep up to eight people), Beatrice (which can sleep up to ten people), and Victoria Albert (which can sleep up to 14-16 people).

Originally farm buildings, these cottages and apartments have been beautifully converted while retaining their original features such as exposed timbers and brickwork. They are equipped with all modern conveniences to ensure a comfortable stay. Additionally, many of the properties come with their private hot tubs, and all have access to outdoor patios with picnic tables.
