Property code: 83013

A real escape to the country, this charming property is set within a working farm in verdant North Dorset. Ideally placed for walking, touring or simply settling down beside the wood burner.

This delightful rural retreat in the heart of the Dorset countryside sleeps four guests, making it the ideal base for a small family getaway or a walking holiday with friends. Switch off from it all with a glass of wine in your peaceful courtyard, before snuggling up in front of the warming wood burner. The property is surrounded by beautiful walking trails through the Blackmore Vale and is also within touring distance of the Jurassic Coast (22 miles).

Follow the shared driveway and cross the yard to reach the gorgeous single-storey barn conversion. The property has been tastefully decorated and cute accessories sit against a backdrop of white walls and exposed woodwork, creating a chic yet cosy atmosphere. The barn embraces open-plan living and has a vaulted ceiling with elegant exposed trusses, making the lounge/kitchen/diner feel bright and airy. Rustle up a tasty meal in the stylish kitchen area, to enjoy around the round dining table, before retiring to the plump sofas and armchairs to watch the Smart TV and chat about your day. Outside, fire up the BBQ and dine alfresco in the sunny enclosed courtyard garden.

It’s easy to unwind in the tranquil Blackmore Vale. Wide open fields, quaint country lanes and meandering hedgerows give the area quintessential English charm. To really take in the landscape, climb to the top of Hambledon Hill (8 miles) for magnificent far-reaching views. Nearby Blandford Forum is a pretty Georgian market town, on the banks of the River Stour. Browse the open-air markets, take a tour of the traditional Dorset brewery, and enjoy a stroll along the traffic-free North Dorset Trailway. If you fancy a day at the seaside, the crystal-clear waters of Lulworth Cove are just 22 miles away.

Great cottage on a working farm, quite remote but not inaccessible, around 45 mins from most costal destinations. The enclosed courtyard garden and open grass beyond were great for our dog Bonnie. The host Lydia was great and so was the cake, wine and other goodies supplied. Would definitely recommend for a peaceful holiday.

Wonderful little holiday place in the depths of Dorset, away from any busy place and tucked nicely in a quiet farm yard. The place looked cared for and looked after. You can do a few walks from the house or about drive 20 minutes to a local town for bits. Owners were welcoming during our stay. Couldnt fault anything

Lovely stay, the cottage was perfect for us with a toddling one year old, all on one level and all the equipment we needed. Lots of great attractions all within 45 mins and some great wildlife spots around the farm.
