About this property
Bramble is an eco retreat with a wood fired hot tub
Bramble, one of a trio of luxury eco retreats, sits within a wonderful rural landscape with far reaching countryside views. Guests will enjoy the space and luxury of this exceptional holiday property, which offers the bonus of a private dining terrace with its own wood fired hot tub. Constructed in 2020, this two bedroom, detached holiday home boasts a ground source heat pump, underfloor heating, bi-folding doors and a cosy wood burning stove.
The light and spacious, open-plan accommodation is all on the ground floor which leads out via the bi-folding doors to the sunny terrace, garden and beautiful countryside beyond. Sleeping four guests in two king-size bedrooms, both with their own en-suite, with luxury features of a copper bath and large copper shower tray. Bramble is an ideal choice for your Dorset holiday with family or friends, or the perfect romantic retreat. The well-appointed and sociable living and dining area with kitchen are perfect for spending time together, with the wood burning stove creating a cosy atmosphere for relaxing evenings.
