While The Barn welcomes children and infants, it is important to note that the property may not be entirely suitable for younger guests due to various hazards, such as a spiral staircase, and there are no provisions like cots or high chairs available. Parents are advised to supervise their children closely during their stay. Located in a rural area, The Barn is in proximity to local landmarks such as Shaftesbury Abbey Museum and Garden, as well as the natural beauty of the surrounding areas, including Larmer Tree Gardens and Wessex Raceway.
