"Firstly we would like to thank Bill & Shan for a wonderful stay. They are genuinely kind people who will go that extra mile to make your stay exactly what you want it to be. We were greeted with a pot of tea & a slice of wonderful homemade Victoria cake, most welcome after a long journey. We stayed in the newly built oak framed courtyard suite which was stunning & very private. The underfloor heating makes this a really cosy room (great for the winter!) but equally when turned off; the room is well ventilated with two opening windows (great for the summer). This was a spacious room equipped with a TV & DVD player, a small selection of discs, a computer & a radio. It really was a home from home & all beautifully clean. The bathroom is well stocked with quality toiletries so no need to take your own. Tea & coffee are in abundance together with bottled water & biscuits. The breakfasts are outstanding, fresh fruit to start, juices, cereals, yoghurts, toast & an excellent cooked breakfast - be prepared to put weight on!
Hilltop Barn is in a perfect location for touring the Dorset area.
We cannot recommend this place enough. It is truly outstanding & not to be missed."
