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 is a super king size bedroom and a twin bedroom (can be made into a super-king-size on request). 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.
