Frankham Farm, Sherborne

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. Just don't ask where dinner comes from if you're squeamish.

The accommodation includes a main barn with three bedrooms (super-king/twin, king/twin and king/twin) plus a separate annexe with another king/twin bedroom. There are four bathrooms total - one family bathroom, two en-suites in the main barn and a bathroom with separate shower in the annexe. Both sections have fully-equipped kitchens with electric ovens, hobs, fridges and dishwashers.

Nearby attractions include Sherborne Castle (5 miles, 15 minutes), the historic Sherborne Abbey (5.5 miles, 15 minutes), Haynes International Motor Museum (12 miles, 25 minutes) and Montacute House (15 miles, 30 minutes). A local farm shop and café are within walking distance for fresh produce and homemade treats.

Frankham Farm is perfect for multi-generational family gatherings or friend reunions. The incredible games room features pool, table tennis, air hockey, darts and a bar area with wine cooler. After competitive family tournaments, soothe sore losers in the private hot tub in the enclosed courtyard. Pure bliss!
