Vacation Rental Description
Manor Farm Barn is a converted Dorset barn offering an extremely high standard of accommodation full of charm and character with ample space for up to eight people.
Manor Farm Barn is situated about 5 miles from Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door in the beautiful Isle of Purbeck with its spectacular coastal walks and splendid beaches, including Studland Bay.
The barn is in a small hamlet and is set in beautiful Dorset countryside, with wonderful views across the valley of the river Frome. It is ideally located for Dorchester, Swanage, Wareham, Poole and Corfe Castle – all wonderful places to visit.
The barn offers an extremely high standard of accommodation full of charm and character with ample space for up to eight people, either as a group or as a family. It is very well-equipped with all modern conveniences including a hob, a double oven, a dishwasher, washing machine and DVD and video players and, of course, central heating.
One of the living rooms has an Inglenook fireplace, which provides a very cosy atmosphere for those nights in, and there is a separate dining room, which is beautifully decorated, and a further sitting room in which the TV/DVD and video are located.
Upstairs there are four double bedrooms (one galleried) with two doubles and four twin beds and two bathrooms (one en-suite) and spectacular views over the open Dorset countryside.
The garden lends itself to al fresco eating and there is a charcoal barbecue available for those warmer evenings. The house has a beautiful well-tended garden at the front with a wide variety of plants and colour throughout the year
The house is approached along a private road on which there is no through traffic and, in front of the house, there is adequate parking space for up to three cars.
You walk to the house through a beautiful and well-tended garden where there is ample space for children to play in a secure environment. There is a sturdy gate at the entrance to the garden and there is a barbeque available.
On entering the house itself, there is a small porch which is very useful for muddy boots after a long walk across the fields or those sandy sandals from the beach.
There is a large sitting room with a galleried room overlooking it and where there is an Inglenook wood burner. French doors give easy access to the garden.
On the far side of the sitting room is another large lounge which has a TV, video and DVD player. The room is furnished with two settees and an armchair, easily enough to accommodate eight people who want to watch TV, DVD's or just relax reading newspapers or a good book.
At the end of the lounge a door leads to the dining room which provides a wonderful environment for great dinner parties or family meals.
On the other side of the dining room is the lobby leading to the back door and the utility room where there is a washing machine and the central heating boiler. There is also a small downstairs WC at the end of the utility room.
The kitchen is off the main sitting room with views over the beautiful garden. The kitchen has extensive work surfaces, two ovens, a microwave, a breakfast bar and is equipped with all modern appliances and equipment.
From the sitting room, the stairs lead to the first floor on which there are four bedrooms, one galleried. On the left of the landing there is the yellow bedroom with wonderful views across the open Dorset countryside.
On the left of the landing is the main bathroom, which is large and equipped with a bath and handheld shower.
There are three further bedrooms (one galleried) and, out of the four bedrooms, two have double beds and two have twin beds (so four twin beds). The master bedroom is at the far end of the upstairs corridor and it has its own en-suite bathroom equipped with a fabulous, power shower.
Manor Farm Barn is a non-smoking cottage. Please ask about pets.
