Leisure Facilities
At The Victorian Barn Dorset, leisure is woven into every stay. Set across 65 acres of countryside, our on-site facilities are designed to give guests space to relax, reconnect and enjoy time together — whether you’re here for a family holiday, group celebration or business retreat.
From peaceful swims and countryside walks to sociable games and outdoor space for children, our leisure facilities are shared by all guests staying on the estate and form an important part of the overall experience.
Indoor Heated Swimming Pool & Sauna
Our indoor heated swimming pool is available year-round and is a favourite with guests of all ages. Whether you’re enjoying a gentle swim, water jogging, or a relaxed family splash, the pool provides a calm and welcoming space whatever the weather.
The adjoining sauna offers the perfect place to unwind after a busy day exploring Dorset or enjoying time with your group.

Hot Tubs with Countryside Views
Many of our cottages and group properties feature private hot tubs, offering a peaceful spot to relax outdoors. Surrounded by countryside views, they’re ideal for unwinding in the evening, catching up with friends, or simply enjoying a quiet moment under the Dorset sky.

Games Room
Our games room is designed for relaxed, sociable fun. With a pool table and table football, it’s a popular space for families, mixed-age groups and those looking for something to enjoy together in the evenings.
Activity Suite
The activity suite provides an informal indoor space for movement and play. Equipped with badminton, table tennis, children’s toys, board games and books, it works well for group activities, family games or keeping active during your stay.
Children’s Play & Picnic Area
Families will love our outdoor children’s play area, offering space to burn off energy in a safe countryside setting. Nearby picnic tables make it easy to enjoy outdoor meals while children play, with plenty of room to spread out and relax.
Fishing Lakes
Our tranquil coarse fishing lakes offer a peaceful escape for guests who enjoy time by the water. Set within the wider grounds, they provide a quiet spot to slow down, take in the scenery and enjoy a relaxed day outdoors.

65 Acres of Countryside to Explore
The Victorian Barn Dorset is surrounded by 65 acres of private land, including fields, lakes, woodland and walking paths. Guests are welcome to explore at their own pace, whether that’s a gentle stroll, outdoor games, or simply enjoying the open space and views.
A Thoughtful Part of Every Stay
Our leisure facilities are shared across the estate (excluding the private hot tubs which are for each cottages sole use) and are designed to complement your stay rather than dominate it, giving you freedom to be as active or as relaxed as you choose.
