Lovely peaceful and friendly
Kitwhistle Barn
Spent a weekend here at start of September, owner is friendly and helpful, site is peaceful and quiet . There is a very nice little wooded paddock to exercise your dogs in and the site is twenty minutes drive from Cogden beach which is also dog friendly.We found phone and internet absolutely fine ..we don't have a TV ! We will definitely return to this cl as we need to explore this part of Dorset more .We have a fairly large MH at nearly 8 metres and we tow a car ..access is tight off the lane but perfectly doable ( the car was unhitched for this though ) Thank you Kitwhistle Barn we will be back !
nice quiet stay
Kitwhistle Barn
we spent a very quiet week here in early July this year . very helpful owners, lovely setting and handy for day trips out. tv reception was good and luckily phone reception not so good so nicely cut off from the outside world !!! will be going again
A real little gem!
Kitwhistle Barn
This is probably one of my favourite CLs - flat and pretty, wildflowers all around us in the hedgerows. An equally attractive dog walk up a gentle slope behind the site and looking down upon it. Bins etc close by but out of view behind a hedge. It is peaceful, whilst also being conducive to friendly chats with fellow Club members
Kim, the owner, is around regularly - taking the rubbish away, chatting with us all, sharing her valuable local knowledge. Grass is kept well mown with clippings taken away. Altogether a very well cared for site.
Easy access to so many places - the coast, Dorchester, Sherborne, Kingcombe Nature Reserve (Dorset Wildlife Trust), Poundbury was interesting (Kim can tell you more!).
A CL doesn’t come much better than this, and it’s very reasonably priced too.
Thank you for a lovely few days in absolutely sweltering Dorset!
Lovely stay in charming CL
Kitwhistle Barn
We stayed here for 2 nights in wet and windy weather over Halloween. There are 2 hard standings for wet weather all year round use that are screened from each other by trees and shrubs. The normal grass field for summer use is nicely flat. There is a small wall above the grass field for use with dogs/stretching your legs which has been planted with young trees and has some nice valley views from the top. Easy access to the coast for walks eg West Bay. Beaminster is a lovely local town too. Very friendly owners. Would definitely recommend, a thoroughly enjoyable stay.
Pleasant location
Kitwhistle Barn
Pleasant sheltered and quiet CL conveniently located to explore and enjoy rural Dorset. Accommodating host and welcome pack appreciated. Best to approach site via A356 and not through Beaminster as the road is steep and narrow.
