This property is ideally situated on the A31 and on the river in the village of Corfe Mullen which lies just six miles north of the harbour town of Poole. Poole, like its near neighbour, Bournemouth, is a popular destination for holidaymakers, offering a large number of attractions including boat trips to Brownsea Island, water sports in the harbour, a water park, and the beautiful beach in the well-heeled suburb of Sandbanks. Of course, there is also a good range of shops and eateries in the town, perfect for an afternoon of browsing or perhaps sampling the local seafood. For a change of scene, 5 miles west of the property, is Farmer Palmers Farm Park. This fantastic family-friendly attraction is a great way for children to get to know about farm life, meet the animals, and also burn off some energy in the fun playgrounds. The area really does have something for everyone!

You will feel transported back in time as soon as you set foot in this Grade II listed property, with mystery and magic in every room. Upon entry you will be greeted with the large dining table, perfect for those large gatherings, enjoying a delicious meal, also within this room is the handy utility area with microwave, fridge, freezer, and washing machine are located. From the dining room you will find the kitchen, with its beautifully handcrafted wooden units, a window seat, fitted dining area, a range oven and hob. The lounge is just as special with its exposed beams and fire place, along with a handy futon. There is also a WC on the ground floor, tucked away under the stairs. Stairs from the dining room will take you upstairs to the first of three bedrooms, a double which features a beautiful handcrafted four-poster bed, making it a wonderfully romantic place to sleep. Heading up another flight of stairs leading to a loft, chill out room, with a secret door which leads to a cosy twin bedroom. Heading back downstairs through the chill out room. you will come across another double bedroom. The family bathroom with shower-over-bath and WC completes this floor. Guests should be aware that this is a period property, and as such has some low ceilings, high thresholds, steep stairs, and uneven floors.

The outside space is just as unique as the interior of this property, heading across a walkway over the river, you will find an island garden, with plenty of garden furniture and a BBQ which is accessed via a walkway across the river. The garden is a delightful space, but the fast-moving river and stream, as well as the ponds do mean that all visitors must pay special attention and that children should never be left unattended. Why not have a go at fishing, there are paddle boards available to use during your stay which can be found at the end of the garden, where access to the back pond can be found.

Such a unique gem of a holiday stay! The house was full of surprises and has clearly been loved and looked after over many many years, it has everything we could have possibly asked for. The garden was such a huge surprise with kayaks and paddleboards ready. Everything was great and the location was within half hour of all sights, a perfect hub forRead more us. One note: Not suitable for anyone with mobility issues, this was mentioned in the ad but wanted to reiterate. Thank you Bobb and Dee. Hide

Made our Christmas so special! Amazing, quirky property! Bob & Dee were lovely hosts. Brilliant for dogs as there's a massive field/island connected to the back garden by a foot bridge where your dog can run off the lead. Renzo loved it! Would love to go back again if the opportunity arises! Thanks for an amazing week Bob & Dee
