The Dairy, Manston, Dorset

What a beautiful place! The home is finished to a very high standard, with everything that you could possibly need. The photos really don’t do it justice, it’s so spacious! Although the hosts live next door, they didn’t bother us as all (apart from a welcome and checking if we needed anything). Lovely welcome pack too (great cake!). A great base for exploring the area, not too far from the coast, and the tank museum was a great day out. Would happily stay again, and highly recommend.

We came down to Dorset with our son and family for a wedding close by. The Dairy was ideal for us all with three bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms or showers. It had been beautifully restored with all mod cons and quality fittings. The main living area was huge with room for everyone. The owners were very friendly and happy for our grandchildren to play with their dogs, which the children loved. There was also a tennis court and swing for them to play on. The owners also set us up with a babysitter to look after the children on the night of the wedding. All in all, a great weekend.

Look no further for a place to stay in the beautiful countryside of Dorset. The Dairy is a spacious, well-appointed and luxurious converted barn, with great views and even a tennis court. Brand new appliances, very comfortable beds and a well-stocked kitchen made us immediately feel at home. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended!
