What a stunning location! WE enjoyed the amazing view of Corfe Castle and the beautiful surrounding. The Great Barn provided us with a convenient base to explore the local area. The walk from The Great Barn to Kimmeridge was stunning. WE enjoyed cooking a lovely roast in the very well equipped kitchen and appreciated the great shower at the end of our busy days. We have had a lovely relaxing week and would love to have a return visit soon.
A great place to stay, the property had all the amenities required and Tracy was extremely helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend!
happy and grateful I/we are for your support in this major endeavour with our 5-dog-trip-to-Purbeck! Everything was wonderful right from the start. Our holiday turned out to be a very special one. The Great Barn at Scoles Manor became our home away from home. We felt so welcome there and even our two extremely sensitive dogs Toffee and Emma were able to relax right from the start. I loved getting up in the morning, looking over the green hills and seeing Corfe Castle in the distance. We went on long walks near Worth Matravers along the Coastal Pathway, visited St. Aldem's Chapel, Lulworth and Durdle Door, Corfe Castle (of course), Wimborne, Poole and Weymouth. I would LOVE to come back. Thank you again for everything, your help and support.
What a fantastic place to stay. Ran out of words to describe the view! The barn is an incredible place to stay, very well thought out and a proper home from home. We didn’t want for anything. The hot water bottles and the throws were a lovey touch. We will be back!
Thank you for a really enjoyable three days. We loved The Great Barn – so comfortable and cosy and so close to all the fantastic walks in this area. We would love to return and bring the family next time.
Highly recommend this place, was the perfect size for a family of four. Living area is beautiful and spacious, bedrooms are a good size and the showers are incredible - powerful and always hot. Kitchen is very modern with high quality hob, large fridge and modern double oven. We went in Feb so didn't make as much use of outside space but the views of Corfe Castle must be one of the best you can get. Footpath is accessible from the garden. Difficult to think of any way this property can be improved, it's even better in real life than in the photos. Appreciate how much effort has gone into making this a clean, modern space. Thanks so much Tracy at Corfe & Purbeck Holidays, we had a great stay.
Once again blown away by the beauty of the barns, Our 6th visit here and we have enjoyed it as much as our first! The weather was kind considering the forecast and we were spoilt we some incredible rainbows. Already looking forward to next year. Such a comfortable, relaxing break for all. Thank you.
What a wonderful week of sunshine. How wonderful to be back at lovely Scoles after a gap of a couple of years – we have been coming most years since 1999! See you next year.
We have really enjoyed our weeks stay at The Great Barn – such a lovely, peaceful location. Our grandchildren enjoyed the outdoor play area – the football goal was especially popular. This is a lovely spot – so much to do and see. We hope to return one day.
Thank you for the most amazing place to stay, we all relaxed and everyone enjoyed the lovely area. The boys are now table tennis champions!
We have had the most amazing stay at the Great Barn! The location is the most beautiful place and the facilities for Albert have been perfect, he has lovely playing outside and seeing the ducks! The beaches are all fantastic for a toddler to experience the sea properly for the first time too! Thank you for making us feel so welcome, we will definitely be coming back soon!
Beautiful location – we a had a lovely few days. The football pitch was a great success! Dogs loved the field. Very comfortable and friendly.
A wonderfully quiet and relaxing place to stay, eat, drink and walk, despite the weather! Thank you
We spent our Christmas Holiday at the Great Barn, Scoles Manor and had a fantastic time!! Our group consisted of 5 adults and the layout with 3 bedrooms and 2 shower rooms was perfect. The setting was beautiful with panoramic views that included Corfe Castle and the surrounding area. We loved the rustic feel of the building and the modern appliances were great! (We were thankful for the black book with instructions on how to use the appliances as they were quite modern!) When we arrived our hosts had decorated the great room for the holidays with fresh holly and crocheted bells! They also invited us to join a village caroling held on the property during our stay! One of our favorite parts of the stay was the resident Indian Racing Ducks!! They were quite personable and so fun to watch! Tracy at the Corfe and Purbeck Holidays office was very helpful throughout the booking process, answering our questions promptly. During our stay our plans changed allowing us to possibly stay an extra night. She was great and worked with us to make it happen! It was a perfect holiday for our family and we would definitely stay again if the opportunity arises!
We have had a lovely stay here at The Great Barn. It's very centrally situated and we have had many beautiful days out. The facilities in the property are great, we made a few meals and found the crockery to a high standard. The dogs have loved the space and overall we have thoroughly enjoyed our time.
I loved staying at this place, it’s beautiful, one of the best views ever. The barns are so well designed and kitted out and the general atmosphere of the whole complex is so relaxed and welcoming. This was our second time and we would come again in a heartbeat. Thanks.
Such a wonderful stay, beautiful barn and surroundings. Charlie our dog loved exploring the fields and the children enjoyed playing cricket, table tennis and croquet! There is so much to do ...we shall be back. Thank you
Thank you for such a wonderful base to return to, we have had a fabulous time and the children have enjoyed exploring. Especially the visit to the orchard & pulling carrots. Thank you!
Thank you very much for the warm welcome – the flapjacks were loved by all five of us. We love the house, the space, and the views of Corfe Castle. The kids had lots of fun in the playground. We enjoyed the natural beautify of the Isle of Purbeck. A wonderful holiday.
Thank you for the most delightful stay in the beautiful barns. Your property and the area are gorgeous, we love it here. Until next time.
Lovely visit – thank you for the kind and friendly welcome. Flapjacks much appreciated and enjoyed!
Great week in fantastic accommodation. Kids loved all the facilities and spent hours playing with the other families’ children. Never tire of the views across to Corfe Castle and had some stunning sun-sets. Love to return one day as a truly special place!! Recommend walking to the viewpoint towards Kimmeridge.
Had a fabulous week here in this lovely barn – everything you need and high-quality refurbishment. Weather was great we visited Swanage, Studland and plenty of local walks with the dog. Kids don’t want to leave!
One of the best views on the Isle Of Purbeck. Facilities are excellent.
We had a great holiday here with two other couples and our boys. The Great Barn had a huge upstairs lounge, great for family time and meals around the dining table. The grounds are beautiful with a play park for the kids that's set in the trees just stunning. A great walking location too. We used it as a base to get around. It's a stones throw from Corfe Castle. Brilliant place for a holiday with kids and friends.
