Blackbird Barn is a lovely place to stay to explore the surrounding area. We were ideally placed to get to Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door, Wareham, Swanage, Abbotsbury etc. The house was spotless and had everything you could want for a relaxing stay. Jane's communication was first class. Thank you for a lovely stay.

A gem of a cottage in a great location on a quiet cul de sac. There's a wealth of things to do in the area. There are nice walks from the cottage and lovely beaches within a short drive. There is also a recreation ground across the road from the cottage which was ideal to take our dog first thing in the morning. The cottage is tastefully furnished Read moreand very comfortable. We had a super holiday and would love to return. It's one of the best cottages we've stayed in. Thank you, Jane! Hide

Lovely open space cottage with everthing you want/need. Very comfortable king size bed. Aga was a bonus as you could just pop anything in to heat it up. Plenty of local walks and a very dog friendly pub about 350yds away and a village shop with post office.

Blackbird cottage is a spacious, comfortable cottage with everything you should need for a wonderful stay. It's location is superb for exploring this part of the country, particularly if you want to stay somewhere quieter, away from the towns. It is an easy drive to the coast and to many places of interest, so much to do! Highly recommend.

Very pleasurable stay and will definitely book it again . It was clean and tidy on arrival and very well equipped. I liked the fact that it had a freezer with a few drawers. It meant that I could make/Freeze some meals before we went and then take them with us . It was good to be able to go out and about all day and just warm up the defrosted mealsRead more .
