Characterful and homely former farmhouse with plenty of space for families and dogs, all set within a country estate and near to magnificent gardens. An ideal choice for a multi-generational break.
True country aesthetics await in this spectacular Dorset farmhouse, a perfect space for 10 to stay. Playing a historic part in the village of Minterne Magna, this traditional five-bedroom cottage lives on the estate of the splendid Minterne House and shares access to its 27-acre gardens with tennis courts and heated outdoor pool. Boasting helpful hosting by the Lord of the majestic country house, this holiday home is perfect for any group of family or friends hoping to enjoy comfortable surroundings after long days of exploration in the Dorset AONB and along the stunning coastline. You can even bring up to two dogs to stay to discover the idyllic area by your side.
Complete with dining room, living room and cosy snug, the ground floor of this property comes complete with an abundance of space for the whole family to unwind. The heart of the house is the family kitchen with a generous breakfast table and Range-style cooker, all of which come in handy when assisting the group's nominated chef in serving up three meals a day. Let the young ones load up the dishwasher as you put your feet up come the evening, relaxing by the fireplace in the snug, alongside the wood burner in the lounge or sitting beneath the stars in the pretty gardens. A short walk from the garden leads to further shared gardens with the tennis court and pool facilities, ideal for sunny afternoons spent close to home.
