A perfect holiday retreat for families and couples, this single-storey barn conversion nestles on the fringes of picturesque Cranborne Chase. Ideal for those eager to explore the glorious borderlands of Dorset and Wiltshire, the two-bedroom cottage sleeps four guests and is one of nine properties on the site. Just over 1 mile from the village of Semley, it is 3 miles from the picture-postcard market town of Shaftesbury, with its independent shops, galleries, restaurants, and museum and abbey ruins. Venture 5 miles from the barn to the impressive remains of the tower house of Old Wardour Castle or 11.5 miles to the National Trust’s Stourhead, with its exquisite Palladian house and immaculate, landscaped gardens. The safari park at Longleat, 13.5 miles from your base, makes a great day out for those with children, while history enthusiasts may well wish to plan a day trip to world-famous Stonehenge, 20.5 miles away. Return home from long walks through beautiful countryside or days out to exciting family attractions to your welcoming former barn. Step inside to find yourselves in a spacious, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with an airy ambience thanks to its high vaulted and beamed ceiling. Settle back onto the comfortable sofas to enjoy a little downtime after your exertions. Play a game together, watch the Smart TV or chat about the highlights of the day. As mealtimes beckon, wander over to the compact kitchen area, which has been creatively designed to encompass everything you are likely to need to help you cater for your friends or family. Pull chairs out from under the round table when it is time to sit down to your delicious meal. As the sun goes down on each fabulous day away together, amble through to one of the two bedrooms. These include a king-size with an en-suite bathroom and a twin room. There is also a family bathroom. Guests can request an additional single Z-bed at the time of booking if necessary. Spill outside into the summer sunshine to play games with the children on the shared lawn or to supervise them on the outdoor equipment, which includes a trampoline, slide, football goals and swings. Grill supper on the shared gas BBQ on fine evenings and take your canine companion over to unleash some energy in the dog exercise paddock. This cottage comes with private parking for two cars.
Short breaks may still be available.
