“Fantastic place just to destress and take it easy a dream cottage with the log fire vaulted ceiling will be going back”

- Marian, November 2024
Daniel October 2024

“Comfortable and well equipped cottage.”

Games room facilities were really good and very much enjoyed by our teenage kids. Can’t fault the cottage or complex at all. It worked perfectly for our family. The only downside was that the pub in the local village was closed for refurbishment during our stay and looks like it will be for some time.

- Daniel, October 2024
Margaret June 2024

“The property was very comfortable, clean and well equipped and we had a most enjoyable week.”

It was nice to have a little patio and seating outside to enjoy in the evenings too. We found plenty of interesting places to visit and a lovely walk very close to the holiday cottages. We were very fortunate with good weather .

- Margaret, June 2024
Pauline June 2024

“Nice peaceful stay at New Barn.”

Really well equipped clean kitchen. It was nice to be able to turn on the electric heaters for a while when the weather turned really cold. Lovely countryside all around with nice walks spoilt only by the wet weather. Would be good to have some dishcloths to wipe surfaces. we actually bought one and left it. Enjoyed our stay.

- Pauline, June 2024
Elaine April 2024

“Never stayed in a farm complex before, but we were really impressed by the Hedge End Farm Cottages.”

We rented a really great barn conversion, which was well appointed, and equipped. The complex is in a really pleasant location, surrounded by super walking country. Hope to go back one day.

- Elaine, April 2024
Kath April 2024

“We loved staying at Hedge End Farm cottages!”

We were very impressed with the cleanliness and comfort of the property, but also the facilities provided in the games barn for the grandchildren. Again, this area was well maintained and looked after. We have already recommended this farm as a super place to stay for family of all ages!

- Kath, April 2024
Linda March 2024

“Lovely Comfy Barn, very clean and tidy, Dog friendly, Games room is a great addition.”

- Linda, March 2024
Denis November 2023

“Lovely clean and well equipped accommodation.”

Had our border collie with us and felt confident that she was secure in the garden. Would certainly recommend.

- Denis, November 2023
Jackie September 2023

“The cottage was everything that we expected.”

It was clean, comfortable and well thought out as to decor and furnishings. It was well stocked even for our four legged friends, a spare bowl just in case it had been forgotten. A cottage that is well situated within Dorset so you can visit coast or country. A place we will be happy to come back to.

- Jackie, September 2023
Mark September 2023

“The New Barn is a stunning place to stay, home from home, so cosy and perfectly equipped.”

We did not want to leave! It works perfectly with two ensuites either side of the cosy lounge, and everything you need is in the kitchen, including tea and coffee making, dog bowls and biscuits! The beds and settees couldn't be more comfortable and having an enclosed garden for our two dogs is just perfect, with the lovely communal garden directly in front too. The barn is in a beautiful location with very good local dog walks. The games room is a real bonus too - playing table tennis, air hockey and pool enhanced our holiday so much. We've had a brilliant holiday and would definitely stay there again and we can't recommend it highly enough. Thank you so much for providing us with such a beautiful place to stay in such a beautiful county as Dorset.

- Mark, September 2023
Susan September 2023

“A lovely stay at New Barn, very well catered for with outstanding surroundings our 2 dogs liked their own private garden.”

Will certainly return in the near future.

- Susan, September 2023
Elise August 2023

“Barn facilities very good.”

A secluded location and great if you want some peace and quiet-although that wasn’t always possible It’s a hard water area and the kettle needed descaling but I messaged the management and within a short time they popped around with the kettle descaler, which I think is good. Loved the games room. Everything was really well maintained, beautiful linen and quality feel to the rooms. Would have liked a bath sheet towel provided as well otherwise we would have brought our own - small face and body towel ok if you’re a size 10! I felt the double bed mattress was too hard and had backache- but I think that’s often down to personal preference and difficult to provide for all choices and preferences. Overall this was a beautiful barn and dog friendly with a great gated area for our pooch.

- Elise, August 2023
Robert August 2023

“All good thank you.”

Great holiday with our dog for the first time. The set up with the gardens was perfect.

- Robert, August 2023
Susan July 2023

“New Barn was home from home.”

Everything you needed was provided. It was lovely to have tea, coffee, sugar, milk and biscuits provided to have after a long drive. All cleaning products were provided along with toilet rolls and dishwasher tablets. One thing that would have made me feel safer as an older disabled person would have been a grab rail in the walk in shower. But other than that we all had a great holiday.

- Susan, July 2023
Amanda July 2023

“Fabulous barn in a lovely location.”

Has everything you need to enjoy your stay. Great location for exploring Dorset.

- Amanda, July 2023
Suzanne June 2023

“The location is lovely & the facilities were just what we required.”

The Owner was a very nice Lady and very prompt to attend to problem of why Hob not working when I was right in middle of preparing food for our 53rd anniversary meal with friends due(instruction folder had been put in tv drawer across room instead of located near the Hob) Previous Occupier had set the childlock and we are not savvy with induction hobs! Unfortunately as we were putting food away in the fridge the brackets supporting the glass shelves started to crack up as have gone brittle and there was a near miss episode with the glass shelf collapsing on to the floor which could have been dangerous as I am disabled with serious leg disability. Fortunately the shelf didn't shatter. The shelves need replacing although the fridge/freezer worked well! My Husband thought it would also be helpful if each of the many fused switched Spurs were labelled so as to identify Hob&Oven etc Also he says it works have been helpful to have an Covered outdoor 13 amp power supply for our Hybrid PHEV car, as we do not use the type of charge facilities in the carpark. We enjoyed our stay though very much and thank the Owners for helping to make our 53rd Anni a happy occasion. The weather was good so we could get out & about this beautiful part of Dorset and enjoy using our NT membership

- Suzanne, June 2023
Amber June 2023

“Lovely cottage, with good facilities.”

We enjoyed our stay.

- Amber, June 2023
John June 2023

“A beautiful well equipped cottage in a well presented courtyard.”

Everything we needed was provided and everything was good quality. I found the king-size bed far too firm, however I'm sure a lot of people would be OK with it. It was situated in a beautiful spot close to Blandford and there were lots of places to visit.

- John, June 2023
Matt April 2023

“Great place to stay.”

Will consider staying again. Shame we were not allowed a one night sleep over with my granddaughter who hasn't see myself or my children for over a year.... A minor thing was the TV remote needs looking at as changing TV was difficult.

- Matt, April 2023
Jean March 2023

“This was a wonderful cottage in lovely surroundings I really couldn't fall it .”

Could have done with a pker for the fire. And the mattress on the king size bed wasn't very comfortable but everything else was spot on would definitely stay here again thankyou for a lovely week .

- Jean, March 2023
Lesley January 2023

“A delightful set up and our cottage (New Barn) was adequate for our needs.”

The hob was temperamental and the oven took a long time to reach required temperature. The log burner however was incredibly efficient and we were never cold! I imagine in the summer it is gorgeous there but it was more remote than we were expecting and nowhere in the immediate vicinity to walk the dog. Overall though, a most enjoyable few days and the games room was a bonus! Thank you

- Lesley, January 2023

Dear Lesley, Thank you for staying with us and for your comments. We're glad you liked the cottage and enjoyed your stay. It sounds as if you didn't find the bridle path immediately opposite the cottages which leads up to those lovely woods, and as we say in the information pack we're always happy for guests and their dogs to walk on our farm tracks which are immediately accessible from the cottages, so we're sorry you missed out on those. Please come again and we can show you! We will check the hob and oven. We've not had any other reported issues with those, but will deal with any defects found. Thank you again, Margaret (owner) Property Owner
Graham November 2022

“Property exactly as described clean tidy well maintained lovely and warm, ample parking.”

Location ideal for countryside walks making ideal for our two dogs as well.

- Graham, November 2022
Julia September 2022

“New Barn was very clean, it was a nice touch to have stainless steel bowls there ready for dogs.”

The cottage has very nice fittings and furnishings and is very well maintained. Most other people there also had dogs and Hedge end Farm is obviously well known as being extremely dog friendly. Our next-door neighbours who had 3 dogs with them, told us they had stayed there 8 or 9 times before. The farm is also in a very quiet location, which was great for a good night's sleep. We were very pleased with it.

- Julia, September 2022
Gillian September 2022

“Comfortable clean holiday property situated in a lovely location.”

No complaints.

- Gillian, September 2022
Pamela June 2022

“Had a lovely, relaxing stay in this great place.”

beautiful area, lots of great dog walks, she was very happy, and places to visit. Second time we've been and booked again. My only suggestion would be that it would be good to have a mirror on a wall near a socket but, that's a woman talking!

- Pamela, June 2022
Martin April 2022

“A very clean, spacious and well appointed accommodation in a beautiful setting.”

- Martin, April 2022
Amy April 2022

“Very comfortable and clean.”

Everything you could possibly want at hand. Would definitely recommend.

- Amy, April 2022
Peter March 2022

“New Barn and its surrounding properties is one of the nicest cottages we have used.”

Ideal for dog walkers and Hedge End Farm is very helpful to its guests by allowing access to all of its farm tracks. A most enlightened feature. We would like to return in the future.

- Peter, March 2022
Jane November 2021

“We had a lovely stay - thank you.”

New Barn was great and the walk opposite through the woods was wonderful. Log burners look nice but are a bit of a faff!

- Jane, November 2021
Richard October 2021

“New Barn is in a lovely country location but close to some of the Dorset beauty spots, plenty of woodland walks too.”

Wouldn't hesitate to stay at New Barn again.

- Richard, October 2021
Stephen August 2021

“We had 3 sykes cottages with 11 of us plus 2 dogs staying.”

Dont know where else this could have happened ? so great for large families or group of friends. We all enjoyed the games room. The cottages were isolated - so doing anything else apart from walking involve car drives.

- Stephen, August 2021
Karandip April 2021

“The cottage was clean, however under the dining table and coffee tables there was dirt & dust etc.”

However overall we were very pleasd with our second booking through Sykes.

- Karandip, April 2021

Lovely location well kept grounds friendly staff accomodation was great Enjoyed our week at New Barn weather could not have been better for September

- Michael, September 2020
Lindsey September 2020

“Clean, well equipped property, all on one level.”

This property was perfect!

- Lindsey, September 2020
Patricia September 2020

“We loved the cottage and particularly appreciated how clean it was under the current Covid situation.”

It was well equipped and the small enclosed lawn on the front of each property meant it was very dog and children safe. The layout of the six cottages enables each cottage to have plenty of windows facing the central lawn without sacrificing privacy. We have already booked two of the cottages for Christmas. A couple of small telephone queries prior to our stay were answered very swiftly by the cheerful manager Leanne. My only grumble would be that our mixed age party all felt that the beds although good quality, were very hard.

- Patricia, September 2020
Sarah August 2020

“This place was lovely and quiet and very clean.”

The only downsides were the amount of flies (we put fly tapes up and still there were so many of them) and the gurgling of the water pipe in the bath; this did disturb my sleep one night.

- Sarah, August 2020
Angela July 2020

“Negatives: - The closure of the advertised Games Room - The huge amount of flies that prevented the door being left open.”

We had to regularly use the fly papers, which stick to everything, and fly spray! - No seat cushions or other chairs to sit on outside in the lovely sun. - The bathroom sink hot tap being out of order for 5 of our days and a lack of communication about its repair. - Not much storage space or even a cupboard for Hoover etc. - Towels for showering too small Positives: - Very clean with nice bathrooms and kitchen. - Nice quiet rural location.

- Angela, July 2020
Veronica March 2020

“Very pleasant barn situated in a beautiful barn complex very relaxing weekend thank you TeamSykes”

- Veronica, March 2020
Gary October 2019

“The cottage was very good, fitted out to a high standard with a lot of thought given to providing us with most of what we needed on arrival.”

So not just tea bags but a bottle of milk in the fridge and a Belgium Chocolate Fudge cake, logs, kindling,firelighters and matches for the log burner, clean and comfortable furniture etc. We will be going back.

- Gary, October 2019
Karen July 2019

“Great, well appointed cottage, one of just six on a farm outside Winterborne Strickland near Blandford Forum.”

Clean, everything works, lots of unexpected extras such as the ability to log into Netflix and Amazon Prime on the TV and electric charging points in the small car park. I’d recommend to family and friends and we’d stay here again.

- Karen, July 2019
M May 2019

“The property was rather tired and a very muddled mishmash mash of cooking equipment, too many of one sort of utensils and none at all of another which you could have done with.”

It needs a rethink . The shower heads and pressure was none adjustable, it was far to high and was quite uncomfortable to use . It also needs a rethink. Other than that not too bad.

- M, May 2019
Geoffrey April 2019

“Well thought out holiday cottage complex in beautiful Dorset village location.”

- Geoffrey, April 2019
J March 2019

- J, March 2019
Tony March 2019

“Lovely little cottage with everything you need, the enclosed garden was a must for us as have two small dogs.”

Inside the cottage it was very clean and very well equipped. Very good area to check out to Dorset. Highly recommended.

- Tony, March 2019
Tina February 2019

“A fantastic little cottage that suited our needs.”

A great location to get to anywhere around Dorset, particularly the coast and beaches. A lovely local pub, The Crown, which serves great food and has friendly, welcoming staff. A few nice little outdoor walks in the local area. No convenience shops nearby. A short 10-15 minutes drive to the local Tesco. Stock up on supplies on the way to the cottage. Highly recommend this cottage.

- Tina, February 2019
Joanna December 2018

“We spent our first Christmas with just two of us and the dogs at new barn (we have been together over 30years) and we had a great time.”

Great location you can start your walks from just across the road. Well thought out design to ensure comfort all round. Great facilities would recommend any body thinking of going to Dorset to chose this location as it is easy to visit many great places from this base

- Joanna, December 2018
John November 2018

“Great facilities, warm comfortable, nice fenced garden which was super so our two dog's could have an area to play and explore without bothering anyone else.”

The games was a plus and I now know I am not very good at Air Hockey. There are lots of places to visit that are not too far away plus the village pub was friendly and made you at home "The Crown" is only 1mile away and worth a visit.

- John, November 2018
Hilary October 2018

“Was everything and more.”

The CAKE.milk,tea coffee and sugar appreciated. All information in folder. Washing machine dishwasher a bonus. We can't wait to return only down side was living so far away and all the road works.

- Hilary, October 2018
Caroline October 2018

This cottage is on a complex of an old stable yard, and the facilities were first class - will definitely use this one again

- Nigel, November 2016
Michelle October 2016

“The Cottage was in a quiet location perfectly situated for the whole coast line.”

It was a beautiful cottage that was spotlessly clean and had everything you could ask for. We would recommend this place to anyone and we will be revisiting next year. Holiday was easy to book and helpful staff at the end of the phone. Very happy holiday makers xx

- Michelle, October 2016
Sandra October 2016

“The cottage was very comfortable, everything you needed was there.”

Thoroughly recommend this cottage and location

- Sandra, October 2016
Laurren October 2016

“We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend away in Dorset, this property was perfect for our needs.”

Plenty of space for the two of us and our two dogs. The property was exactly as described, the information pack had so much detail we knew exactly where to find the best local places to visit. When we next revisit Dorset we will be booking this property again!!

- Laurren, October 2016
Steven August 2016

“The location of the holiday cottage was a few miles outside of Blandford Forum as indicated on Sykes Cottages.”

This gave us a better opportunity to explore different areas with the dogs and we found some fantastic walking opportunities with stunning views. New Barns was comfortable and everything we had expected, if not more. The enclosed areas to each house enabled you to have your own space, allow the friendly dogs to join in with the family sat outside (picnic bench) but also the opportunity to meet and talk to others staying on the complex. We will definitely be booking New Barns for our next trips to Dorset. The only negative I would like to point out is the arrival (3p.m) and departure (10a.m) times of the property, understandably the cottages need to be cleaned and checked for the next tenants but I feel that this could be improved or adapted for guests.

- Steven, August 2016
Jo August 2016

“We had a wonderful holiday in New Barn.”

We've stayed in some very nice cottages but this was by far the best. The setting was beautiful and the cottage itself was fantastic - well laid out, very clean and equipped to a high standard with attention to detail and comfort. Sykes and the cottage manager were both so helpful. Would highly recommend both Sykes and Hedge End Farm Cottages. Thank you.

- Jo, August 2016
Sue April 2016

“This was a lovely cottage in a great location.”

Everything about the accommodation was first class. It made it very easy to have a really good time,

- Sue, April 2016
Jacqueline February 2016

“The accommodation was excellent.”

Excellent value for money. Great for dogs. Fantastic enclosed gardens that were well kept. Situated in a lovely, quiet area; ideal for visiting the whole of Dorset. We are about to book again for a return visit. This accommodation is highly recommended.

- Jacqueline, February 2016
Patricia November 2015

“Great property.”

Every detail thought of, I will definitely recommend to family and friends.

- Patricia, November 2015
Sandra October 2015

“The general high standard of the accommodation makes for a very pleasant stay.”

- Sandra, October 2015
Sarah October 2015

“Lovely little barn for our small family of 4.”

Everything was finished to a high standard, clean and cosy. The whole set up of all the cottages was lovely and everything we needed and wanted to see and do wasn't more than 40 mins away. Fab first holiday as a family of 4.

- Sarah, October 2015
Ian September 2015

“When you arrive and open the door to the property you know it feels like home.”

Our first use of these properties and they are magnificent. Will be returning next year for two weeks.

- Ian, September 2015
David July 2015

“The accommodation was excellent throughout.”

We have extensive experience in renting holiday cottages throughout the UK and Europe, and this unit was at the top!

- David, July 2015
Jeremy F July 2015

“Not only was the accommodation excellent but the whole setting was ideal for a family get together.”

We all appreciated the planning that had been put into your cottages so that both adult and child alike were catered for. Thank you.

- Jeremy F, July 2015
Mr Williams June 2015

“The Barn is in a lovely, quiet location and just 1.”

5 miles away from the local pub. Everything you need is provided in this home from home. Had lovely gardens, with a green area in the middle of the barns. We had a lovely holiday with friends and plan to book for next year shortly.

- Mr Williams, June 2015
Zena May 2015

“We liked how clean everything was, including the gardens and surrounding areas.”

The 5 stars are a true reflection on the cottage and we would recommend this to anyone. We also liked how safe the garden was for our dogs. This is also a very quiet area, great for anyone wanting to relax.

- Zena, May 2015
Alberta April 2015

“We had a great time.”

Everything was first class. We will be back.

- Alberta, April 2015
Russell March 2015

“A very good cottage and the little extras given made this break.”

In a good area for walking your dog and the beaches are close. The local village had a very good pub that offered a variety of dishes on their pub menu. The games room within the cottage complex was excellent - the cottage would suit any family.

- Russell, March 2015
Mr Bush September 2014

“The property was well placed for visits to a wide range of interesting places, set in beautiful country.”

- Mr Bush, September 2014
Adam August 2014

“Property was finished to a very high standard and in a perfect location for exploring Dorset.”

The property water is supplied from a private natural spring - better quality water from the tap than most premium mineral water you buy in a glass bottle. Where else can you have a shower in pure spring water. We will be back for sure. You will not be disappointed with this property.

- Adam, August 2014
Glyn June 2014

“This was an ideal base for exploring the county of Dorset.”

The whole complex was finished to a high standard with New Barn being no exception..
