Property code: 87915

This luxury barn has a sun deck with a private hot tub and is situated in an idyllic rural location, surrounded by rolling countryside. An ideal base for couples and small families to relax and tour.

Head to this gorgeous former barn, set in open countryside between the towns of Yeovil and Sherborne, to indulge in a splendid, rural Dorset stay. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom retreat captures magnificent views, right out towards the National Trust’s Golden Cap on a clear day. Strike out on scenic walks through the countryside then return to the single-storey property to bask on the sun deck and luxuriate in your own private hot tub.

One of several similar retreats on this gated Dorset site, the barn has a spacious, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with a vaulted ceiling, for you to enjoy. Here you can unpack the fresh produce you have bought in town and cook up tasty homecooked meals in the kitchen. Dine together inside or out then carry a cup of fresh coffee from the machine over to lounge area where you can settle down in front of the Smart TV or a DVD. There is also a handy utility room, with a washing machine, plus a family shower room for use before and after you hop into the hot tub. There are two super-king-size bedrooms, one of which has zip-and-link beds and can also be made up as a twin room if discussed in advance. Both bedrooms have Smart TVs and en-suite shower rooms. The generous sun terrace, where the hot tub is located, is ideal for enjoying breakfast, lunch and dinner out in the fresh air. The barn has parking for two cars.

Explore both Dorset and Somerset from this sumptuous holiday home. Head into Sherborne, 3.5 miles away, to wander its charming streets, peruse its shops and visit its famous abbey. Plan a day trip down to Dorset’s Jurassic Coast: try West Bay, 21.5 miles away, where you can swim, picnic on the sand and go fossil hunting.

Oh my lord, we had the best time. Nick made the stay so easy and welcoming from the wine and chocolates to washing up liquid. The Cow Shed is a beautiful and relaxing place to stay and we will be back. The whole place is immaculate with great details, it feels like someone has just said "what do I like" and implied it all. We had teenagers with useRead more who enjoyed is and loved the hot tub. Hide

Very good spacious accommodation home from home. Everthing you could want from a self catering holiday. Beds were very comfortable and to have an on suite to both bedrooms was lovely. The hot tub is a bonus and very good to come home to at the end of the day.

We had the most amazing time at The Cow Shed. The accommodation is absolutely beautiful and has been designed to perfection. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the location is extremely secluded and peaceful. Everything was immaculate and we even wondered if anyone had ever stayed there before! The kitchen was very well equipped and had everyRead morething we needed to cook a full meal. The hot tub on the decking was a real treat. The lodge had also been decorated for Christmas-a lovely surprise. Hide

Lovely place to stay. Very comfortable and peaceful location. Has everything you need and more. Set out rather like a posh caravan park. In between Sherborne which is beautiful with lovely shops/cafes and Yeovil which is the total opposite. Recommend Tamburino Gold in Sherborne for delicious Italian dinner.
