Swallows Nest, Puxey

Brilliantly maintained and well presented modernised Barn. Has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Very friendly and helpful owner. 100 recommended!

Really nice property in a very quiet location. Very comfortable with very friendly and helpful owners.

To say I am picky is an understatement, I have a lovely home which is well equipped and I expect the same in any holiday home I go too. Swallows Nest surpassed that, from the beautiful location, the converted building, the lovely host attentive to your needs and the ambiance of it all. My husband, my assistance dog Finley and I had a lovely time. What made this holiday was the abundance of land away from motor vehicles, whereby we let Finley be off duty. He was so lovely watching him wriggling to be allowed off the lead, for him to be off smelling and coming across different wildlife from bunnies, hares and a deer it might have been a monk jack but for city folks like us we dont know the difference. At night without all the light pollution you could gaze into the stars and the hot tub was brilliant. Poor Finley has been somewhat sad or flat since returning home and walking in the normal dog park. I would highly recommend this location and we would definitely be back although maybe off season as we were there when records were being broken with the temperature. Dont procrastinate and book this location you will be pleased as we were.

Very friendly greeting from Nici on arrival with Procecco and cake. Very spacious barn conversion presented immaculately. As both a centre for peace and quiet with local walks around Sturminster Newton or touring the likes of Weymouth, Lulworth, Swanage, Bridport even the Isle of Wight it was great with the 3 friendly Alpacas and hot tub the icing on the cake.

Had an absolutely fabulous stay here. Hosts were brilliant and very welcoming. Location was lovely and quiet. Hot tub brilliant and relaxing especially with the view. Lovely walks around the area too. Would go back again.

We have stayed 5 times over the last 6 years. That should tell you alot. The accommodation is spotless, very nicely decorated with a nice theam to it. Everything you need is provided. Better than most 5 star hotels we stay at. Niki & Steve are excellent hosts, about if you need them & very helpful. The views, the hot tub & the 3 boys Alpacas all make it so peaceful and relaxing. We have already discussed coming back next year. It makes a lovely break. You will not be disappointed in any way if you choose to stay.

Swallows nest is absolutely stunning , I totally recommend it to anyone who wants to stay in Dorset. Nicki was an amazing host and we were greeted with a homemade cake, flowers and a bottle of Prosecco. My grandson loved watching the alpacas and the view from the hot tub was beautiful 1010

A lovely place, so peaceful. The swallows nest had everything we needed for a relaxing holiday.

It was a wonderful time spent in a glorious location, I would recommend anyone to stay there if they want a break from the hustle and bustle. Fantastic views and the property was of a very high standard.

This is a beautiful, well equipped barn conversion in a peaceful and tranquil area. The hot tub is relaxing after a day of exploring. It's a great base for exploring Dorset. The town of Sturminter Newton is about a 40 minutes flat walk away and there are some really good pubs serving food within a 1020 minutes drive away. Definitely one on the list to revisit.

An absolutely perfect stay. So peaceful and set in beautiful surroundings. Nici, the owner, was always there if you needed anything. This is by far the best place we have ever stayed at and look forward to returning soon

What a hidden GEM this is. Nici the owner was lovely the place itself was outstanding if you want to explore Dorset this as a base is perfect in every way you're in a great central spot to visit all Dorset has to offer and come back to a tranquil secluded place to relax and unwind the barn conversion is done to a tasteful and very high standard we could have easily just moved in and stayed it was a home away from home. Keep up the good work Nici

Beautiful cottage and location. Hot tub great after a day out. Owners extremely friendly but not intrusive. Would thoroughly recommend this property.

A beautiful barn conversion set in an idyllic spot, so quiet and peaceful ! The barn is to a high standard and is equipped well. We had a lovely week there with our friendly neighbours, The Alpacas, and we loved the hot tub. We would like to come back again one day. Thanks to the owners for their kind hospitality !

Beautiful place to stay, secluded yet within easy reach of everything locally. We enjoyed sitting in the hot tub and watching the alpacas. Would definitely recommend a stay!

It was idyllic, beautiful scenery, relaxing and the owner was great very friendly and accommodating. Seeing the alpacas every day was the icing on the cake.

Lovely property, clean, well equipped and well maintained with a decent amount of spacer. Beautiful situation and broader area with plenty of places to visit. Hot tub was really good.

We had a great week in lovely accommodation but very disappointed that, even following ALL instructions the hot tub wasnt maintained and became unusable by the last 2 days. It was one of the main reasons for choosing swallows nest.

We had a fantastic few days, the barn was awesome with everything you needed and a great hot tub. We would definitely visit again.

This is a lovely place to stay. The house was spotlessly clean and was bright and airey. There was a lovely welcome tray and the owners are helpful and attentive without being intrusive. The llamas are a just gorgeous and young children will love them. We also made good use of the hot tub which was checked by the owners each day. Dorset is a lovely part of the country with much to see and do.

We had a lovely stay at Swallows Nest in a beautiful setting. The accommodation was spot on, down to the comfy beds and hot tub which was well maintained during our stay. Nic and Steve were friendly and welcoming hosts and looked after us well. Quiet and relaxing setting with the lovely Sturminster Newton down the road with great pubs, shops and takeaways.

We had a wonderful week staying here. It's such a fabulous and stylish place, lots of space, incredibly clean and in such a peaceful setting. It was idyllic sitting in the hot tub and watching the alpacas! The owner was incredibly helpful, and there was delicious cake and fizz on arrival. It's also an ideal location for exploring Dorset. We hope to return!

This is a lovely cottage with a great hot tub and funny alpacas. I would recommend

A beautifully presented barn conversion in a truly quiet part of Dorset. Nici and Steve were excellent hosts friendly and helpful. The boys ie their alpacas, were an extra bonus!

Really nice modern accommodation in a great position and very quiet. Steve and Nici very welcoming and helpful and our thanks for the Prosecco and cake. Lots to do in the surrounding area and great countryside.

This is a really lovely property. Everything is of a very high standard and has been well thought out. The owners are also very friendly. We loved it and if we're down that way again, we'd definitely look into staying there.

Beautiful setting and lovely property all enhanced by the delightful Alpacas and very friendly owners.

Lovely accommodation, very quiet and peaceful, we had everything we needed and the owners left a welcome tray with flowers, Prosecco and a homemade cake. ..whats not to love! Central to lots of lovely places to visit, whether market towns, beaches, national trust or other houses and gardens we thoroughly enjoyed it.

We have a fantastic stay at swallows nest. The accommodation was spotless, spacious and perfect. Thank you

A warm welcome awaits you at this great property. Ideal for a relaxing holiday, with charming Alpacas to watch, and wild life in abundance in a rural setting. Well worth a visit.

Excellent accommodation which was both clean and comfortable with everthing you require . The location is both good for Dorset and Somerset. Owners very friendly and helpful. Extremely dog friendly. Would recommend and stay again.

Welcome pack, including information book, very useful. Space and facilities well designed and well presented. Very tranquil and peaceful. Good base for travelling around. Hot tub a great treat at the end of a day instructions for usage would be helpful.

We had a wonderful stay at Swallow's Nest. No complaints, only praise.
