The Cider Barn

Beautiful barn conversion and nice people.

We stayed here 3 nights while touring the area.  It's excellent in every way.  Bill is a friendly and attentive host, pleasant conversationalist, and source of lots of useful local information.  The entire property is clean and in good repair; no problems, and had there been any, I'm sure Bill would've attended to them at once.  Comfortable room and bed, with goose down pillows--really pleasant.  Breakfasts were delicious.  All in a most peaceful and serene location; we heard nothing at night but silence.  We'd gladly stay here again, and hope to do so.

Lovely spot, great accommodation Breakfast was amazing and cooked fresh. Ordered me and choices night before, so food was served at the time that suited us. Nothing was a problem, rooms were comfortable, great heating, lovely views. Converted barn, would highly recommend 
. Bill was very helpful and recommended places to visit and great pub to eat. Great few days away.

What an absolute treat to stay at Hilltop Barn, it’s a delightful building with superb surroundings and the most fabulous breakfast that you could wish for, courtesy of Bill who is a most welcoming host.
We stayed in the Mango room which is spacious, beautifully furnished and very comfortable.
The village of Winterborne Zelston is beautiful and comes complete with a “Pooh Sticks”bridge, ducks, geese and swans.

Hilltop Barn is a gorgeous barn conversion, charming and full of character. Bill is the perfect host, so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Our room was so comfortable and had a large en-suite. Breakfast was delicious. We had the most relaxing stay, the perfect escape from our everyday chaos, thank you!

Wow what a beautiful barn conversion b&b. Arrived and was met by Bill who made you feel welcomed straightaway. We had the olive room with en suite looking over the field and it was just lovely couldn’t fault it at all. The breakfast done by Bill was amazing and all locally sourced produce and Bill always had time to chat and tell you the best places to visit. Every morning at breakfast Bill always asked where we had been the previous day and what we were doing that day. The barn conversion  is just a beautiful place and would highly recommend staying there. Will definitely be visiting again.

Hill top Barn offered the peace and tranquillity we were looking for. From the moment we arrived and met Bill our host we knew we were going to have a wonderful stay. We had booked the Mango Room with amazing views across the paddock at the rear of the property and the garden to the front. We wanted for nothing during our 4 day/ 5 night stay, from an amazingly comfortable bed with lovely bedding to a luxurious bathroom, towels and toiletries. Breakfast was indeed a feast with an amazing range of choices to suit all appetites and palates. Bill was happy to chat to us at breakfast and share his local knowledge to help with our daily trips out I would mark our trip 11/10 if I could .. we didnt want our stay to come to an end and would return in an instant 

It was a fun experience staying in this converted barn.  We had a large bedroom with a comfortable bed and en-suite bathroom with both shower and spa bath. Excellent breakfast too but the main thing was our welcoming and entertaining host.

This is a long overdue review after my wife and I spent the last weekend of September 2022 at The Hilltop Barn to attend a friends nearby wedding.

The Hilltop Barn is beautiful, even as you park outside you can instantly see it's going to be a lovely place to stay. The rooms are spacious, with super comfortable beds and furnished wonderfully. The grounds are very well kept and the views are gorgeous. We stayed in the 'superior double' which had the spa bath... good grief, that was lovely.

What sets this place apart though is the owner, Bill. What a lovely man he is. Bill is so welcoming and instantly makes you feel at home. He brought us coffee and cake upon arrival, made delicious breakfasts for us both mornings (which had a very wide range of options) and was just a delight to chat to at length. He's clearly a man who loves what he does. What's more, he helped us and another couple who stayed at the Hilltop Barn to not get ripped off by local taxi drivers who quoted us absurd prices to take us to and from the wedding venue; Bill dropped us off and picked us up himself! We couldn't have been more grateful.

We will definitely return here in the future, probably not for a while though as our stay resulted in us expecting twin boys!!

Fantastic welcome, lovely room, beautifully clean and amazing breakfasts. We couldn't find a single thing that didn't get a five-star rating. Would recommend Hilltop Barn to everyone. On arrival we were given tea and home-made cake, plus complimentary tea/coffee and biscuits in our room. Toiletries provided in the en-suite.
DVDs n the room, plus a lounge with any books and games.

Pleasant stay in rural Dorset

Great b& b.

Go whilst you still have the opportunity!

A tranquil hideaway

Amazing B&B

Wonderful from start to finish 

A truly wonderful hotel, with a fantastic owner.

An absolute gem

We came across the Hilltop Barn whilst searching for places to stay near Durdle Door. We were impressed with the 5* rating and customer reviews. We booked and arrived in the village and were instantly impressed with the quirky barn surroundings and interior.  Bill, our host and barn owner, was very hospitality and nothing was too much trouble from cake & tea on arrival to cheese & toast for supper (when we missed the last orders at the local pub!).  Breakfast was epic with the best veggie sausage I have ever tasted. We most certainly hope to come back :)

Fab host, great breakfast and good location

This is an idyllic slice of rural England. Winterborne Zelston is but a turning off the main A31, but a world away form modern day life. The houses and scenery are wonderful and appear set in a time capsule. The barn is magnificent and Bill a brilliant host to tales delight in spoiling his guests. My room was so comfortable, warm and individualistic. Breakfast was delicious. If you are visiting Dorset, don't miss it!
