This stylishly converted property is extremely well-equipped in all areas and is a perfect retreat all year round with facilities to entertain everyone, whatever the weather. It is ideally placed for exploring the local area and pretty seaside villages and towns. There are some great visitor attractions in the area including Montacute House, Hardy's Cottage and Bovington Tank Museum. For those wishing to enjoy Dorset's more sedate offerings, a whole host of walks can be enjoyed from nearby the property, taking in the simply beautiful rolling hills that are littered with flora and fauna. A marked farm trail leads from the property for everyone to enjoy and explore, which is within the stunning Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Or if this all sounds too exhausting, a day relaxing at the property or unwinding in front of the wood burner is always a good option.

Entering the house into the large entrance hallway, a door leads you into the delightful open plan lounge/kitchen/dining area. This spacious triple aspect room benefits from underfloor heating, as well as ceiling to floor south facing windows and double doors which flood the room with light, offering a great living area and a perfect space for entertaining and gatherings. In the lounge area there is comfortable seating to relax on in front of the wood burner, watch your favourite programme or film on the Sky TV or Blu-ray DVD player or challenge your companions to a game on the Wii games console. The open plan living space overlooks the patio and the dining area contains a large farmhouse style table where you can enjoy your meals while catching up with family and friends. The kitchen is well equipped with a range cooker and five ring induction hob, a dishwasher, a fridge, a freezer and a breakfast bar. There is a useful separate utility room on the ground floor with a sink, washing machine and tumble dryer. Three of the bedrooms are on the ground floor, one with a king-size bed and a walk-in dressing room leading to an en-suite bathroom with a roll-top bath and WC. The next two bedrooms on the ground floor each contain twin beds and both have en-suites, one with a shower and WC and one with a walk-in dressing room and a roll-top bath and WC. Completing the ground floor is a shower room with a WC. Heading upstairs you will find three more bedrooms, two have king-size beds and en-suites, one with a shower and WC, and one with a walk-in dressing room that leads to an en-suite with a roll-top bath and WC. The third bedroom on this floor is a twin with an en-suite shower room and WC. Also upstairs is the games room which is located on the large mezzanine level overlooking the ground floor living areas. This is extremely well-equipped with a pool table, table football and seating around the TV which has Satellite TV as well as a Bluray DVD player, Xbox games console and Xbox Kinect. This property's eco credentials include heating and hot water provided by a ground source heat pump, with solar power to boost the hot water and power the EV charging point. A rainwater harvesting tank collects water from the roof and is used to flush the toilets, where recycled toilet paper is provided. The owners of the property and the farm manage it in a way that improves the environment by not using artificial fertilisers or insectices, and planting new hedges and woodlands to encourage wildlife.

Stepping outside from the living area through the large French doors, is the enclosed south facing patio which has a covered seating area and BBQ, perfect for al fresco dining or drinks. Please note: Stag or Hen parties are not permitted at this property.

I have to say, the weather was very kind to us but property is within easy reach of many attractions......we did Monkey World.

This is a beautiful property in a tranquil, rural setting. Our party comprised two families, both with two teenagers apiece, and a a grandad (me). We have rented many holiday homes across the UK for our family group of nine but what makes this property stand out is the excellent living space, i.e. a huge kitchen/diner, a vast lounge which could seaRead moret us all and a clever mezzanine lounge/games room allowing for different activities.

Loved our stay in this very well equipped & designed house. Friendly & helpful hosts. Having the mezzanine means that guests have options for relaxing or for using the games in there. Lack of outside play area means that it might not be ideal for those with younger children. Within easy reach of many attractions.

Great house for a multigenerational holiday- lots of space for everyone! We had four generations from 11 months to 86. Great that there are rooms downstairs and everyone enjoyed having their own bathroom. The games room was amazing too. The house is very well stocked for 12 people - no running out of plates!
