Set in rural Dorset, you're surrounded by fields perfect for long walks. The enclosed garden backs onto open countryside where you can watch birds while soaking in the hot tub with a favourite drink. Fancy a pint? The Gaggle of Geese pub is a 25-minute walk across fields - even better walking back after dark (trust me, I've tested this theory).
The accommodation sleeps 4-5 people with three bedrooms: one super king-size and two singles (the second accessed through the first). There's also a pull-out sofa bed in the master bedroom and a day bed in the den for a child under 10. Two bathrooms include a ground-floor wet room and first-floor en-suite. The open-plan lounge features a wood burner, while the kitchen opens to a conservatory with countryside views.
Nearby attractions include Dorchester's markets (4 miles, 10 minutes), historic Sherborne Abbey (15 miles, 25 minutes), the famous Cerne Abbas Giant (1 mile, 3 minutes) and the spectacular Jurassic Coast (15 miles, 30 minutes). Perfect for fossil hunting and coastal walks.
The Olde Chapel School House works brilliantly for families or couples wanting countryside peace with easy access to attractions. The covered hot tub overlooking fields is the perfect spot to unwind after exploring Dorset's treasures.
