Set on a 65-acre farm in rural Dorset, gazing out at the countryside with views of Bulbarrow Hill, The Victorian Barn is a collection of family friendly holiday cottages in Dorset, with an endless list of things to do. Originally a cattle barn that was built in 1849, this unique group accommodation was converted in 2009 into 7 adjoining houses that form part of The Victorian Barn Estate. Helena House, one section of the barn sleeping up to 8 people, offers a cosy and relaxing space to take some time off with the family, or take a holiday with some friends.
Helena House is located on the corner of The Victorian Barn, and neighbours two other lodges in Dorset, Victoria & Albert House, and Leopold House. Due to the nature and layout of this accommodation, the three can be linked according to your needs. Victoria & Albert sleeps up to 16 people, while Leopold sleeps 8. Depending on the size of your group, you can chose a combination of accommodations that are appropriate to your group and connect the spaces.
For much larger groups, the centre of The Victorian Barn is home to a large function hall, which can be used for weddings and all sorts of events. The barn is divided into 7 holiday cottages in Dorset, all sharing a wall with the hall, and all of which can be rented out simultaneously for groups of up to 55 people. Paired with hot tubs for each accommodation and even a games room and outside furniture, The Victorian Barn is a great place for large group events with varying accommodation requirements.

Kitchen and Reception area:
Helena House is distributed over two levels. The kitchen and living room make up the ground floor of this holiday cottages in Dorset, making it very well suited to groups with varying bedtimes. The kitchen provides ample space for cooking and mealtimes and is fully equipped so that guests can enjoy delicious, home cooked meals. A large, 8-seater dining room table positioned at its centre is a welcome space for family and friends to come together over a home-cooked meal. Additionally, with the help of the dishwasher, you’ll be able to truly relax at the end of the day, without getting your hands into the sink.
The living room, with 4 comfortable leather sofas, can comfortably seat all 8 guests, and even two more should you be a larger group with fellow guests in one of the adjoining houses. The living room is all about conversation, with the 4 couches positioned in a square around the coffee table. A TV in the corner provides entertainment during down time, or while the weather is looking grim, but the arrangement of this room is perfect for group chats on rainy days. Helena and her neighbouring lodges are great holiday cottages in Dorset for groups of any age group.
Bedrooms:
Another great feature of this holiday cottage in Dorset is the fact that the living areas are separate from the bedrooms. Upstairs, 4 bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms sleep up to 8 guests between 6 beds. Two double rooms with super king-sized beds are perfect for mums, dads, and anyone else in need of ample sleeping space. Both king-sized rooms have floor to ceiling windows and blackout curtains. It is also possible to add a cot to these rooms if need be.
The two twin rooms work well for the little ones or friends. With two beds in each room, everyone gets at least a little privacy and a nice quite space to sleep. This can be helpful for mixed age groups, as younger kids can be put into one room and older kids into another. To top it all off, at this lodge in Dorset, you won’t be counting sheep with their crisp, cotton, lavender infused sheets.
