The Barn Flat is situated on a small farm with stunning views over the Dorset countryside. We have great access to local towns, beautiful walks and of course the Wessex coastline. Mainline stations nearby going to Exeter, London, Bath, Bristol and Weymouth. We look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful bit of Dorset and ensuring your stay is comfortable and enjoyable. Nearby Sherborne offers you great shops, the Abbey, 2 castles and many cafes & restaurants. Come & rest or explore!
We have lived here for 16 years and love this part of England - we truly appreciate living here. We look forward to sharing this with you. Our family consists of my husband and I, our 3 teenage sons and endless animals. We live next to the flat and your host, Alice, works from home so will always be there to meet you and show you where everything is. She will be pleased to help you with any plans for your stay to ensure you get the most of your time in Dorset.
Our house used to be a small farm and whilst we do not farm now, we are surrounded by two working, dairy farms. The views from the flat reach over the famous Blackmore Vale to Batcombe Hill and beyond. This is great country for walking and cycling. Please ask for details when you book. There is off road parking here with a dedicated area for our guests. Additionally we are 10 minutes from Sherborne which has a main line station (Waterloo line) from which you can get a taxi. We are also under 10 minutes from Thornford which is on the Bristol/Weymouth line.
