Once a barn, this sprawling Dorest home offers country living with all the comforts of home. With several sitting rooms and the alfresco dining area, there's plenty of space to spread out here – we think this makes it perfect for multigenerational family gatherings. The large beds are perfect for getting well-earned rest after an epic hike, and the two zip-and-link beds offer some flexibility if you're travelling with kids. When it's time to head out, you'll find plenty to see within walking distance, including the 14th-century St Catherine's Chapel, the charming village of Abbotsbury, and Chesil Beach (part of the Jurassic Coast).

About Dorset AONB
It’s been more than sixty years since half of Dorset was classified as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and while the world has changed immeasurably in that time, this corner of England looks much the same as it did back then.
