Pine Retreat

Set on a scenic dairy farm near Gillingham, this rustic chalet is a handy base for exploring Dorset. It’s convenient location makes days out a breeze.

Spend the morning roaming around Stourhead (6 miles), with its beautiful lake, sweeping gardens, classical temples, and grand house. Head into Shaftesbury (5 miles) for lunch beside the famous cobbled street and visit the Gold Hill Museum.

If you enjoy history, Fiddleford Manor and Old Wardour Castle are within 12 miles and offer a slower afternoon of exploring romantic ruins. Cranborne Chase National Landscape, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is just 13 miles away.

Discover ancient woodlands, scenic trails, parks, and dark skies at this diverse destination. Step up to the door and into your Scandinavian-inspired cabin.

Inside the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, wood panelling and a rustic design create a warm, cocooning environment from the off. In the kitchen, a fully equipped space features an electric oven and a coffee machine, allowing you to prepare any group meal with ease.

The space is adorned with a solid wooden table with six seats for memorable group dining. A contemporary lounge area features leather reclining sofas for maximum relaxation and a TV for watching your favourite shows.

French windows also open to the veranda, where you can enjoy breath-taking views, and on chilly nights, sit beside the flame-effect fire for a cosy atmosphere. There's a handy WC and boot room adjacent to this space.

When it’s time to turn in, three spacious bedrooms await. First is the ground-floor double bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom, with shower over bath and WC.

Head upstairs to the first floor, where a king-size bedroom is set beneath the eaves with natural pine cladding, exposed beams and a balcony with rolling views. An additional twin bedroom sits next door, and both rooms have en-suite shower rooms with WCs.
