Close to the village of Arne on the Isle of Purbeck, this spacious and rural retreat is in a peaceful spot in the Dorset countryside, perfect for a large family or group, with space for eight guests and their canine companion. Enjoy adventures through the heath and marshland at the glorious RSPB Arne Nature Reserve, less than half a mile away, before returning to your country home for an evening tipple on the raised patio with its splendid views.
The property dates from the 1600s and has much of its original charm with stunning traditional features and period furniture. Head into one of the two lounges, light the wood burner and catch up on the day’s events as the TV plays your favourite movie. Cook delicious meals in the spacious kitchen, equipped with everything you need to create memorable meals that can be enjoyed in the country-style dining room nearby. Completing the ground floor is a convenient shower room. When day turns to night, head upstairs to find the four characterful bedrooms that await; a super-king-size room, a king-size bedroom, and two twins. These bedrooms benefit from a well-appointed bathroom and a shower room, both found on this floor. Outside are large grounds and superb views to enjoy, there’s a BBQ for dining al fresco on the scenic patio, as well as lawns and a play area for the kids and dogs to enjoy. There’s also a laundry room which is accessed externally, ensuring convenience for all.
For a typical Dorset day, head to the historic market town of Wareham (4.5 miles) to enjoy its wealth of eateries and shops, and head to the quay to hire a boat for the day. Enjoy a beach day at the golden sands of Studland Bay (13 miles) or discover the seaside attractions at the coastal town of Swanage (11.5 miles).
