Overview
Property code: CHURT

Charming listed barn conversion located next to the owners’ organic farm in the rural village of Leigh in North Dorset, enjoying beautiful countryside views.

Escape for a rural retreat and make yourselves right at home in this gorgeous abode. Brimming with charm and character, adventure the days away before getting competitive in the games room (shared with other properties). Just 7 miles from the heart of historic Sherborne and 23 miles from the vibrant resort of Weymouth, explore far and wide and spend time on the renowned Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. Sleeping four guests over two bedrooms, bring your pair of pups along too so you can enjoy exploring with all the family.

Arrive at this welcoming barn conversion and find yourselves in the heart of the home. Open-plan and full of character, the kitchen/lounge/diner is a wonderful space in which to spend quality time together; a pair of sofas welcome you to sink down and relax, whilst the kitchen has all you need to rustle up tasty dinners. The oven, hob and microwave mean you can cater for all occasions, from quick snacks to three-course feasts, and the washer/dryer is handy for washing any muddy clothes or well-worn holiday outfits. Dine in style at the table or take your plates outside and enjoy more time in the fresh air with a cold tipple to hand. With verdant views, the patio area is a great spot to sit at any time of day and is perfect for enjoying your morning coffee. A pair of bedrooms reside on the first floor and are lovely spaces to drift off and dream. Sloping ceilings and exposed beams add charm but mean you must take care.

Didnt want to leave! Everything needed for a relaxing stay away was provided. Bed was super comfy and sleepable! The dogs loved the enclosed garden and were mesmerised by the chickens. The daily sloppy kisses from the calfs were a happy welcome and Chris was super welcoming and it was fascinating to hear about the conservation work he was doing at Read morethe farm. Final added bonus was the games room. Although a little dated we had fun. Thanks for a great stay we will be back. Hide
