A former Victorian school with contemporary interior styling, and easy access to Dorset’s most famous attractions. With character features and a wood burner, it’s the ideal year-round base for a fun-filled holiday.
A fantastic destination for lovers of the great outdoors, this charming bolthole sits close to both coast and countryside and is also just 4.5 miles from the bustling Dorset town of Dorchester. Sleeping six guests over three bedrooms, with two of your pups welcome along, this home is great for groups of friends and family. Spend your days exploring the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site and return to snuggle in front of the wood burner or continue your evening al fresco in the courtyard.
Step inside this old schoolhouse and make yourselves at home amid fresh spaces decorated with bursts of zesty colour and rustic-style features, such as exposed beams. Head to the kitchen/diner to unload your provisions and pack away the treat jar. A light room with ample space for cooking up a storm, do just that and plate up at the table before making your way to the enclosed courtyard for an after-dinner drink in the last of the sun. With a warming wood burner and TV, the lounge is a great place in which to retreat after long adventures out and about. Pick a book from the shelf which is piled high with tales, or pop on a DVD for a family film night. The two first-floor bedrooms have beautiful, pitched ceilings with exposed beams, and plenty of space. Suited to younger guests, the ground-floor twin is a lovely place for little ones to rest their heads. There is off-road parking for two cars.
A trip to Dorset is not complete without a trip to Lulworth Cove and the mesmerizing arch at Durdle Door. Pack up a picnic, grab your towel and travel 10.5 miles to the beautiful, horseshoe-shaped bay at Lulworth where you can swim in the crystal seas and settle down for a day on the beach. Walk 1.5 miles along the coast to Durdle Door and marvel at the stunning structure. With plenty of places to grab a bite to eat and a pair of cinemas, Dorchester (4.5 miles) is a great place to spend a night out.
