Purchases Barn Reviews

Sheila
The barn was great, so clean, well equipped and peaceful. Di the owner was really friendly and accommodating. Our dog Cassie loved the garden there were plenty of pheasants to flush out of the hedges (she is a working dog so she does not chase them).
Gemma
We were a party of 8 (us, our four young children and our elderly parents) plus our two dogs. Purchases was perfect: The view (obviously!), the room layout of two doubles and two twins, the hot tub (enjoyed by children and adults alike!), the space and the great size garden - which the dogs enjoyed immensely. It was so peaceful! Di was so helpful aRead morend the property was so well equipped - completed to such a high standard. Super access links meant we visited beaches and local towns. Take me back!

What a lovely property in beautiful surroundings. The barn had everything you could possibly want and had plenty of space for 4 adults and 3 children. The garden was very dog friendly with fantastic views and the hot tub was an added bonus which got used every day. The location is central to many attractions and the coast is only half an hour away.Read more Thank you to Di our host for a wonderful holiday in your beautiful barn.

This is a beautiful property in a stunning location with amazing views. It is very well appointed and spacious. The rooms are well proportioned and it truly does accommodate 8 adults with ease. This was not our first visit to Purchases Barn and it won't be our last!
Kerry-Lea
This barn is absolutely fantastic. Our group had the nicest, most relaxing and enjoyable time together. The view is simply spectacular. Its easy to find. The amenities are brilliant and the decor is beautiful. Loads of space and yet still retained a cosy feel. We had such lovely weather too. We will return, as soon as we can. Xx
Sarah
Purchases Barn is spacious, very clean and well equipped. The garden is great for your four legged friend and secure. The added bonus of the hot tub is perfect for relaxing. There is plenty to see and do in the area without having to travel too far. Situated at the top of a hill the views are exceptional and also away from the main road so very pea ceful. Would highly recommend.
Anna
A wonderful stay had by myself and friends! The barn was just beautiful and absolutely spotlessly clean. The hot tub was a real added bonus!

We had a fantastic stay at Purchases Barn. The Barn is immaculately clean, the space is well laid out and very comfortable. The views are excellent particularly at sunset and sunrise.
Alison
Just returned home after a new years get away. This property is beautiful, Iv never stayed in a holiday let so clean, we honestly thought we were the first to ever stay at the barn. Outdoor area was perfect for our dog to run around as it was nice and secure. The views are amazing, the kids loved spotting the pheasants and deer. I really couldnt fa ult anything We cant wait to return
Timothy
Lovely holiday home, really comfortable and almost everything we needed (we did bring our own coffee machine). The hot tub was great and we enjoyed the log burner. Christmas decorations were lovely. Very friendly host.
Sue
A beautifully built and located barn. The views are amazing! Local coastal places are easily reached and local amenities in good supply. A most enjoyable stay! Would recommend.
Mary
The property was beautifully clean and the decor was tasteful and comfortable. The views from the property were spectacular and really had a positive impact on our stay as we were at home much of the time with 5 under 4s. It was an ideal location to visit a lot of old haunts we used to visit years ago. The only issue for us was the lack of a M&S fo od hall close by. Would definitely stay again but unfortunately it will be too small for our increasing family size moving forward.
Shannon
We (6 adults and 1 dog) had a lovely weeks stay at Purchases Barn. On arrival the barn was spotless and had everything we needed. The views are amazing and the hot tub is an added bonus. Di the owner was really helpful with any questions we had. The barn is close by to supermarkets, and Lyme Regis and Seaton are not far away. We would definitely re turn and would recommend!
Emily
We had a wonderful stay at Purchases barn -cant recommend it highly enough! The barn is beautiful - spacious, comfortable, very well-equipped and spotlessly clean. The location was peaceful and the outside space just lovely. Views to die for! Owner was very accommodating and helpful.

Perfect relaxing weekend away with the family. The property is beautiful with amazing views and is the perfect space for a family get-together. The wood burner and hot tub were a bonus! The host Di was lovely and accommodating, allowing us a slightly earlier check in and late check out so we could really make the most of our time. Candlelight Inn i s a must, the place is really lovely and the food was great!! Would definitely like to return!
Heidi
We (6 adults, 1 dog) had a wonderful stay despite it being one of the wildest weeks the UK had seen! Everything we could have wished for was there, the kitchen in particular is spectacular, beautifully finished with fantastic open views. On arrival everything was spotless and a thoughtful welcome gift was left for us. We enjoyed the hot tub, visiti ng the coast and local attractions, and eating out in the area (The Candlelight Inn and La Campagna were both highlights). Thanks for a great stay!
Kristen
Purchases Barn was amazing! We stayed as two families, and it was perfect. The hot tub was lovely, especially when the stars were out! Inside was extremely spacious and comfortable. The owner was so lovely as well, and made sure the hot tub was clean and ready to use each morning. It was such a lovely place to all stay and enjoy, I would definitely recommend this property for a get away!
Alastair
A fantastic 7 day stay at a beautiful and thoughtfully designed high spec modern property. Everything you could need was there on hand and we particularly enjoyed the roomy spaces inside and outside and the amazing hot tub. The property has a wonderful aspect with far reaching views across the countryside. Plenty of parking for cars with easy acces s to shops, walks and a trip to the coast. The owner was friendly and always on hand for questions or any help. You will have an amazing time!
Amrina
The barn was absolutely beautiful, pictures online dont show the true beauty of the barn. It had more than enough space for 6 of us including a massive living room beautiful kitchen. Very family friendly, the hot tub was an amazing add on and had such a private plot around making it so much more relaxing. Too add on Di, the host was amazing, super welcoming and support with any question. Will defiantly be back soon!

Stayed at purchases barn with a group of friends. The barn is stunning!! It has been done to a high standard and has wonderful views. We had everything we needed and throughly enjoyed our stay!! I would highly recommend staying here and would definitely return!! Many thanks to the owners!
Fiona
Had a lovely holiday here. Really good size for 2 families, gorgeous views, nice and warm with the underfloor heating. Well equiped kitchen and everything was really clean. Easy to get to/find from the A303.
Teresa
Nicely laid out & decorated house, plenty space, comfortable beds and good location for getting around the area. Bathrooms very good, although the yellow spring water was a bit off putting. However our stay was marred by a few things. No mention of the mobile phone mast right next to the house, a severe fly problem ( they got everywhere including d ropping in our food) and lack of basic essentials that a property of this standard should have. Wi-fi was slow in living area, non existent elsewhere.
Lara
What an absolute gem ! Beautiful property in a stunning location. Very spacious and clean and a great base to explore the area.
