"This fertile and sheltered tract of country, in which the fields are never brown and the springs never dry,. . . . The hills are open, the sun blazes down upon fields so large as to give an unenclosed character to the landscape."

- Thomas Hardy

Welcome to Longbarn House Bed & Breakfast, ideally situated in the heart of Hardy country, West Dorset, close to the Jurassic Coast and just 2 miles from Dorchester.

Mark and Anya invite you to stay in their family home, Longbarn House, in West Stafford and offer a warm and relaxed atmosphere for all their guests (including children and dogs).

West Stafford is a small village nestled in the Frome valley just to the east of Dorchester with many pretty thatched cottages. There is also a small stone school house built in 1848 and a lovely thatched inn called The Wise Man where food and cask ales are available. The village is just 5 minutes from Thomas Hardy’s cottage, 15 minutes from the nearest beach and for those catching a ferry to France or the Channel Islands, we are 25 minutes from Weymouth.
