About Lynne O'Reilly / Alec Edmonds
We are a local family, having lived just outside of Swanage for many years so have an excellent knowledge of the area and local facilities. We now live in a neighbouring cottage to Old Dairy, where we are enjoying the wonderful wildlife and countryside surrounding us.
Lynne O'Reilly / Alec Edmonds purchased this Barn in 2016
Why Lynne O'Reilly / Alec Edmonds chose Winfrith Newburgh
Stepping inside Old Dairy, this property envelopes you with a wonderful feeling of privacy, but spacious both inside and out. Although set in the heart of countryside, the location is ideal with the coast 3 miles away, set on the Jurassic coast, and a village just a mile away, with ample shops and a mainline station, but near to all Dorsets attractions.
What makes this Barn unique
Old Dairy is approached by a tree lined drive, which is a wonderful habitat to pheasants, ducks, deer and many species of birds. There is a pretty garden adjacent to facilites for car parking, and a barn that used to be home for dairy cattle, but now home to owls and our pet ponies. The whole area is surrounded by fields, with a wonderful feeling of open space.

Lovely Autumn break
Delighted - very convenient for Bovington Tank museum, Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove - all of which we enjoyed immensely. Would recommend the Old Dairy to friends.
Lovely clean and cosy property
The Old Dairy was lovely and light. Everything you needed for a lovely stay. The area is one of our favourites as lovely places to visit and very dog friendly. I would have given it five stars had it not been for the noise from the boarding kennels up the lane. Saying that we had a lovely time. Thank you for the warm welcome.
Great place to stay!
The Old Dairy is fully equipped and is perfect for two people. It is well set back from the main road and we found it to be a peaceful place and felt very relaxed during our stay, It was lovely to sit in the garden and eat breakfast one morning during our week's stay and also enjoy the tranquil surroundings and sunshine. There are several pubs within a few miles for eating out and a small Co-op in Wool 5 minutes drive away. The lovely towns of Wareham and Dorchester are great places to visit, along with the coastal locations of Lulworth, Swanage and Durdle Door. We have no hesitation in returning to the Old Dairy again in the future!
Lovely location.. very peaceful .. not overlooked
Lovely clean property with everything provided. Thank you
Perfect little hide away
We really enjoyed our stay here. The cottage was lovely and clean. Even though we own a dog, I always worry that a pet allowed property wont always be as clean, but it was very clean and no doggy smells at all. Everything we needed was provided in the cottage and we were made to feel very welcome, our dog included. The garden was a perfect sun trap and lovely and secure for our dog. The only thing I would say, is from the main road it isn't very well sign posted and the postcode seemed to make our sat nav go to the vets!
We will definitely return to this property again.
Thank you for a lovely, homely and comfrotable stay.
Comfortable and well equipped unit for 2.
Lovely rural setting, positioned well back from main road down private road to small group of dwellings amongst gardens. A short drive away from pretty villages and spectacular coastal walks at Lulworth cove. Easy reach to Dorchester and Poole area as well. Owners very friendly and good suggestions for local dining and places to visit.
Map

Swanage and Corfe Castle are less than a 30 minute drive, and Weymouth aprroximately the same. We have many National Trust properties within a short drive, and the RSPB reserve at Arne, Wareham.
