Frankham Farm is a stunning converted barn in rural Dorset. This 4-bedroom beauty sits on a working organic farm near Sherborne with flexible sleeping arrangements for up to 8 people. Each room can be configured as twins or doubles - perfect when you need to keep the snorers separated! The property includes a separate annexe, ideal for grandparents who need an escape from the chaos.
The farm offers four walking routes across the owner's land. Most are fenced, so your dogs can run free without ending up in Timbuktu. There's a secure paddock where dogs can play fetch till they drop and a shared tennis court for humans to work up a sweat. Fancy a farm tour? The owners will show you their tractors, organic crops and livestock.
