My family and I had a wonderful stay at The Victorian Barn, the kids really enjoyed the facilities, and the beautiful surroundings. Our lodge was clean and very comfortable. A good family break and very close to Durdle Door.
Lovely place, like a home from home. Very quiet and staff where very responsive to our needs. The only issue that was most likely due to the local council, was the recycling and waste area, it was an absolute disaster as the large containers where overflowing and inundated by wasps and flies! This was potentially an easy fix as there where two large containers totally empty a few meters away from the overflowing container. I did not expect this at such a venue, I am sure this is not something the owners want but it put a real dampener on such a lovely place, if this is something that the owners are struggling with maybe take the issue out of the customers hands and offer to do the waste and recycling for us. I’m not sure the issue is related but we couldn’t sit outside and have food in our area near the Jacuzzi at the back of our property, due to being inundated constantly with wasps. It’s a beautiful place, but I wouldn’t stay again until this is resolved. Many thanks Jon
The victorian barn is in a lovely area with amazing views. The estate itself is lovely. The accommodation whilst clean is small and not very comfortable. The lounge is sparingly furnished and sofas uncomfortable and the beds also very hard. The spa baths are well maintained, with lovely views, but unfortunately not shielded from the views of other next door residents
The Victorian Barn Countryside Estate & Farm is located just outside the village of Woolland in North Dorset.
Woolland is situated in the Blackmore Vale under Bulbarrow Hill 7 miles (11 km) west of Blandford Forum.
The village is first mentioned in Cartularium Saxonicum from the year 939 Wonlond, the Domesday Book from the year 1086 Winlande and the Pipe Rolls from the year 1170 Wunlanda. The name is interpreted as Old English wynn-land meadow land or pasture land.
The sculptor Elisabeth Frink had a studio in the village during the 1970s.
Dorset has a varied landscape featuring broad elevated chalk downs, steep limestone ridges and low-lying clay valleys. Over half the county is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
North Dorset is largely rural, but includes the towns of Blandford Forum, Gillingham, Shaftesbury, Sherborne, Stalbridge and Sturminster Newton. Much of North Dorset is in the River Stour valley and is called the Blackmore Vale.
The northern half of Dorset lies a beautiful and largely untouched rural landscape waiting to be explored. Just 20 miles from the sea, North Dorset is filled with chocolate-box pretty villages, rolling farmland edged with thick hedgerows, wildlife-rich chalk downlands, hidden meandering streams and ancient woodland.
Dorset borders Devon to the west, Somerset to the north-west, Wiltshire to the north-east, and Hampshire to the east. The county town is Dorchester, in the south.
Around half of the population lives in the South East Dorset conurbation, while the rest of the county is largely rural with a low population density.
The county has a long history of human settlement stretching back to the Neolithic era. The Romans conquered Dorset's indigenous Celtic tribe, and during the Early Middle Ages, the Saxons settled the area and made Dorset a shire in the 7th century.
The first recorded Viking raid on the British Isles occurred in Dorset during the eighth century, and the Black Death entered England at Melcombe Regis in 1348.
Dorset has seen much civil unrest: in the English Civil War, an uprising of vigilantes was crushed by Oliver Cromwell's forces in a pitched battle near Shaftesbury; the doomed Monmouth Rebellion began at Lyme Regis; and a group of farm labourers from Tolpuddle were instrumental in the formation of the trade union movement.
During the Second World War, Dorset was heavily involved in the preparations for the invasion of Normandy, and the large harbours of Portland and Poole were two of the main embarkation points. The former was the sailing venue in the 2012 Summer Olympics, and both have clubs or hire venues for sailing, Cornish pilot gig rowing, sea kayaking and powerboating.
Three-quarters of its coastline is part of the Jurassic Coast Natural World Heritage Site due to its geological and palaeontological significance. It features notable landforms such as Lulworth Cove, the Isle of Portland, Chesil Beach and Durdle Door. Agriculture was traditionally the major industry of Dorset.
There are no motorways in Dorset but a network of A roads cross the county and two railway main lines connect to London. Dorset has ports at Poole, Weymouth and Portland, and an international airport near Bournemouth.
The county has a variety of eateries, museums, theatres and festivals, and is host to the Great Dorset Steam Fair, one of the biggest events of its kind in Europe.
It is the birthplace of Thomas Hardy, who used the county as the principal setting of his novels, and William Barnes, whose poetry celebrates the ancient Dorset dialect.
Dorset boasts some of the most beautiful coast and countryside and our great outdoors is waiting to be explored!
Dorset is perfect for a laid back, relaxing break or day out or one that's full of activity and adventure...the choice is yours!
One thing we know for sure it that you'll be amazed by Dorset's stunning scenery, friendly welcome and things to do.
Enjoy making happy memories in Dorset!
