Overview
Property code: CHURT

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. Kick start your day with a challenge in the games room (shared with neighbouring properties) or ask the owners for a tour of the farm.

We had a lovely stay at the Creamery. The property was a little small but that is mainly because I have 2 growing boys who like to lay on the sofa and a husband who is 6ft 7 and so the 2 x 2 seater sofas were a little small for us. The cottage was very comfortable otherwise and the games room is a nice touch.

The Creamery is a simple cottage hideaway on a farm that oozes comfort, cosiness and quiet. Quite literally plonked in the middle of a stunning vista of rolling verdant countryside, you will will be greeted by some local sheep in the field opposite. If ever you need to get away from it all this is the place. Enjoy!
