Cottage to rent with a log fire / woodburner in Sherborne (2mls S)

Accommodation details

This single-storey converted barn is a fabulous home from home with plenty to keep you entertained. Spend sociable times enjoying communal dinners and sundowner drinks after working up an appetite in the shared indoor pool and wandering the grounds and the lakes (also shared with other properties on site).

Just 30 miles from the Jurassic Coast and close to an abundance of well-trodden trails, explore far and wide or stay near the farm before returning home to relax in style. Sleeping four across two bedrooms, bring your pup along and have a ball with all the family. Step inside and find yourself in the heart of the home where the lounge, kitchen and diner all fit together to create a vibrant hub of the house.

Filled with heat from the wood burner and plenty of natural light, snuggle down on the sofa in front of the TV and sit awhile beneath the splendid, vaulted ceiling. Stocked high with your provisions and fresh local produce picked up on your way home from adventures, venture into the kitchen where colourful tiles greet you with warmth and welcome you to rustle up something delicious.

Plate up either inside or on the unenclosed patio and garden if the weather is balmy, and enjoy a sociable dinner filled with tipples and tales of the day. Two bedrooms are calming spaces in which to rest your head after soaking in the en-suite bathroom or rinsing in the en-suite wet room. Rise and shine and make the most of the shared facilities before heading out to explore.

The iconic cove at Lulworth is 30 miles from your door and is a must-visit destination when holidaying in picturesque Dorset. From here, you can walk the 1.5-mile path atop the cliffs to Durdle Door, where the magnificent natural arch provides a stunning view, and the seas are perfect for swimming in.

Treat family and friends to a night off from the kitchen and travel 16 miles to Dorchester for a meal out and a night at the pictures.
