Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
I have stayed at Pleck Barn before - and was grateful when I saw their was a vacancy this time round. Superb tranquil quintessential English rural location, handy for exploring all the attractions of not just Dorset, but much of the West Country. You feel as if you are being welcomed into a friend's home. A very happy relaxed comfy place to stay - great if you like the unspoilt unpretentious honest relaxed lifestyle- through in a warm welcome, comfy spacious rooms , a charming hostess. I really like this place - not perfection but amongst the best most honest places you could stay.
United KingdomClaire went the extra mile organising an evening meal for my elderly parents and then breakfast in their room before their departure. Alex was extremely helpful carrying luggage etc. Thank you very much for looking after my parents so well.
United KingdomThis place was perfect for me and my partner! We wanted to go somewhere that was out in the countryside to get away from our Urban lifestyle. It's the perfect place to stay and relax. The host was very friendly. Sherbourne was not far away and was lovely for a little bit of shopping and some nice food.
United KingdomGreat value for price, comfortable rooms, and very hospitable host.
United KingdomGreat stay for the night, with the dog. Couldn’t have done any more for us, felt very homely and great breakfast
United KingdomExtremely comfortable bed, great nights sleep. comfortable clean room and bathroom. Good breakfast.
United KingdomClare was very friendly and took the trouble to find and cook the haddock I preferred instead of a "full English" breakfast (as I gave her advance notice of this). Coffee and bread/toast were very good quality and my wife said the Sausages and Bacon and Eggs were excellent (local produce). Bed was very comfortable. The shower room was clean and gave a good hot shower. Plenty of free parking. Quiet location (no road noise). On a plot shared with a small Horse Livery, so perfect B&B for lovers of horses and dogs. Great Gastro Pub 5 minutes away with outdoor and indoor seating, plus another excellent Gastro Pub in Piddlehinton 20 minutes away. Great to cover the whole of Dorset:- Go South to reach Dorchester County Town and Tolpuddle Martyrs Museum easily. Go East to Wareham and Poole, and go West to Bridport and Lyme Regis. We went to them all easily in a 3 night stay.
United KingdomGreat shower ( like a power shower). Comfy bed. Good & nicely cooked breakfast. Friendly, chatty and down to earth host.
United KingdomLovely surroundings nice and tranquil lovely host
United KingdomClaire made us feel very welcome, loved her dogs and ours loved them. Breakfast was great, room was big and plenty of space (Blue room). Loved the views and stables. Had a lovely meal at Fox Inn in the village.

Host Info
My property is a 1850s converted thrashing barn . I bought it when it was derelict and got planning permission to live and work there in 2002 . It is a brick and Flint building typical of this area of Dorset . It is very secluded, quiet and peaceful There is a large secure parking area 1/4 mile from a quiet country lane. The parking can be seen from the bedrooms and has security lights and is on gravel
Higher Ansty is a little Hamlet with about 20 houses. Pleck Barn is on the outskirts . It is very rural here , there is no light pollution or road noise

The fine print
The SatNav does not take guests all the way to Pleck Barn. The property is half a mile outside the village of Higher Ansty, traveling towards Hazelbury. The property is on the right-hand side, down a farm track.
Please inform Pleck Barn of your expected arrival time in advance. You can use the Special Requests box when booking, or contact the property directly using the contact details in your confirmation.
