About this property
Fabulous character barn conversion, in a gorgeous rural Dorset haven.
A unique, 4-bedroom barn conversion in the corner of a secluded courtyard, with brand NEW KITCHEN!
Rated 4 star by 'VisitEngland', who described it as 'a striking conversion, providing a very good standard of self-catering accommodation'.
The house has been re-decorated and furnished to a high standard. There is a brand new kitchen, complete with electric Aga (not required for heating, instructions provided, very easy to use) Original features of the old stables have been retained, in the sympathetically restored master bedroom, including beams and names of the former equine residents! New family bathroom. New bath, shower & cabinet
The master suite includes a Kingsize bed with en-suite shower and garden access. A double bedroom also has French windows to the garden. Two twin bedrooms complete one side of the L- shaped house. All beds & mattresses are brand new. There is also a family bathroom with bath & shower.
The other 'half' of the L houses the enormous living room and kitchen, with wood-burner, flat-screen TV, large French windows to the garden, which surrounds the house. The old wood kitchen table seats 8. There's even a bed for one well-behaved dog, who has easy access to the garden & great walks in the surrounding countryside.
A trip to the renowned 'Old Inn' pub across the road is a must, if you don't feel like cooking. They cook delicious pizzas in an outdoor oven.
There's a washer/dryer in the well-equipped brand new kitchen. A travel cot and high-chair can be made available: if required, please give at least one week’s notice. There are also hair dryers in the two double bedrooms.

About the host
Hosted by Mrs AMH
We are a family of 5 - with 3 teenagers, who need plenty of sleep and activities in equal measure. We've fallen in love with East Dorset, for it's countryside, stunning coastline and fun things to do. Based in London for a decade, we now divide our time between Dorset and Switzerland - as we love nature and the great outdoors - be it the mountains or seaside.
Why they chose this property
Having looked for a couple of years, we decided being near to the New Forest AND the Jurassic coastline was ideal. It's very quiet, but there's plenty to do - and nearby Wimborne Minster has all the amenities you could want. Having room for 8 people and a garden were also important for us. We wanted a property with character, but easy to manage. This ticked all the boxes for us, and the kids love it as much as we do.
What makes this property unique
We've been amazed at the variety of things to do, from a waterski school at a nearby lake, to a sanctuary for monkeys, and a 'Go Ape' activity centre in the forest, with zipwires (at Moors Valley country park). There are also great restaurants in Wimborne Minster, with its' own theatre, that also shows movies. It's a corner of paradise, where you can chill out, unwind and do something different every day, if you want to. Every time I visit I want to stay longer...
