We spent a delightfully peaceful and comfortable week in Abi and Mike's holiday home. Little Farm Barn is beautifully furnished and the surroundings are inspiring and full of interesting wildlife and easy country walks. There are lots of things to do in this lovely part of Dorset, and many good pubs and restaurants to be enjoyed.
