Discover your own little corner of paradise when you arrive at this idyllic former mill at Stour Provost in Dorset. Sleeping just two guests, the exquisite conversion near Gillingham is perfect for that romantic retreat you have been considering. Enjoy walks through the picturesque Blackmore Vale, then head back to bask beside the crackling wood burner or soak up the sunshine in the gorgeous garden.
Head inside to find impressive accommodation where a range of original mill features have been incorporated into the design. Glass features and a natural wood floor complement beautiful exposed stonework and beams. Enter via the chic open-plan kitchen/diner, with its high vaulted ceiling, to unpack any Dorset provisions you have bought and rustle up dinner for two. Take a step down into the gorgeous lounge to peer through the glass viewing point in the floor and admire the mill workings. Settle on the plush sofa in here to watch the Smart TV and enjoy the heat of the wood burner. Follow the beautiful wood and glass steps up to the first floor to discover your double bedroom, with its handsome beams and sloping ceiling. Savour a restful night’s sleep in this peaceful space. Your shower room is also at this level. Sit outside in the pretty garden, looking out over the river and watching for wildlife. Dine out here on occasion and linger over a bottle of fizz at the table as the sun sets over the fields. There is private parking for two cars.
Grab your shopping bag and head 5 miles into historic Shaftesbury to potter in the independent shops and stock up on Dorset delicacies. Wander the charming streets and visit Sherborne Castle and Gardens. Venture into the Cranborne Chase National Landscape to follow a myriad of footpaths through the rolling countryside.
