Description

This detached 200-year-old stone and slate barn was converted in 2005 and is set in its own walled courtyard with spectacular views of rural Dorset.

Spacious and light, with open-plan mezzanine floor design, the barn offers flexible accommodation and sleeps up to eight guests in three en suite bedrooms. The disabled twin bedroom with en suite wet room, designed carefully to meet Visit Britain’s National Accessible Scheme standards, was newly built at the time of conversion.

Entrance to barn is disabled-friendly with easy level access from the car parking space outside the front door and the bedroom’s French windows. The property is maintained by the owners, who live 100 yards away and aim to provide a holiday you will not forget.

The self-catering holiday barn and neighbouring cottage are situated three quarters of a mile at the end of a private drive. The location, low light pollution and no road noise offer a peaceful and secluded holiday getaway.

There are many reasons why guests come back year after year for their break and find the farm a special place to be. Here are just a few of them:

• Unwind in the peaceful surroundings of wide open spaces and long-distance rural views. Enjoy an environment where children can play in 132 acres of grassland, woodland, streams and a very large wildlife pond.
• If you want a bit more activity, why not see what’s happening on the working farm? Owners David (an ex teacher) and Sarah love people to get involved in a safe and controlled way and the activity on the farm never stops!
• Everyone is welcome, including pets and children. Families and couples alike will have lots to do.
• Beautiful beaches on the Dorset World Heritage coastline, amazing sea views and lots of other attractions are a short drive from the farm.

Pet-friendly information: Maximum of 4 small dogs. Extra charges may apply.

Room specifications

The accommodation is flexible: Part of the Barn can be closed off for 1-4 guests but can sleep up to 8 in two mezzanine double bedrooms with en suite bath/shower rooms and, on the ground floor, a twin bedroom with en suite wet shower room. The second sitting room with double futon sofabed can be closed off along with its mezzanine bedroom above to leave a smaller, cosy area for 2-4 people.

There is a large open-plan living room with kitchen/dining area, with a double futon sofa bed and opening floor-to-ceiling picture window with stunning views. Full gas central heating and a log-burning stove keep you toasty!

Area information

The farm is situated near Wynford Eagle, a small rural Dorset village 550 feet above sea level on a chalk ridge overlooking rural west Dorset. Whilst secluded, the barn is situated only 10 miles from Dorchester, 7 miles from Bridport and 8 miles from the Dorset World Heritage coastline. A perfect place to enjoy your holiday, with local attractions including:

• Bridport with its wide pavements, twice-weekly street market and lively cafes.
• West Bay, with its new accessible piers, level esplanade and attractive harbour.
• Abbotsbury Sub-Tropical Gardens, Swannery and Children’s Farm.
• Lyme Regis and Charmouth - fossils galore and a beautiful Regency town with esplanade and harbour.
