The Victorian Barn nestles under Bulbarrow Hill on a small working beef farm in an area of outstanding natural beauty.  It is situated 8 miles west of the Georgian town of Blandford Forum and four miles south of Sturminster Newton, being an old Medieval market town as mentioned in the doomsday book.

The Victorian Barn is a triple span barn and was originally built in 1849.  Dairy cows were kept in stalls and milked by hand some of the milk was processed and made into cheese and the whey would have been fed back to the pigs on the farm.  The working shire horses were also stabled in the barn.
