Willow Barn In The Marshwood Vale

Set in the rolling hills of Marshwood Vale, this contemporary home is a tranquil base for friends and family wanting to explore the beautiful Dorset landscape. The market town of Beaminster is 6 miles away, offering independent shops, cafés and places to eat, while Bridport (8 miles) is well known for its lively markets, historic streets and inviting atmosphere.

For a taste of the coast, the dramatic landscapes of the Jurassic Coast are also 8 miles away, where you can hunt for fossils, follow clifftop paths and admire some of England’s most spectacular scenery. There are plenty of other opportunities for memorable days out nearby.

Roam the woodland trails and countryside at Symondsbury Estate (7 miles) or head to the seaside resorts of Lyme Regis (9 miles) and West Bay (10 miles) for beach days, harbour walks and traditional seaside treats. Enter into a beautifully designed open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area, where vaulted ceilings, oak details and large bi-fold doors create a light-filled and welcoming setting with rural views.

The sociable living area centres around a cosy wood burner, with the first basket of logs included for those cooler evenings, while the dining table provides a relaxed gathering point for shared meals. The U-shaped kitchen is well appointed for preparing everything from simple breakfasts to family dinners.

A central hallway leads through to the sleeping accommodation and bathrooms. There are three bedrooms comprising a restful king-size room with an en-suite shower room, a double bedroom, and a bunk room suited to children, which includes an additional shortened single bed.

The family bathroom includes a bath and a separate shower for added convenience. Outside, the private patio is furnished for al fresco dining and comes complete with a hot tub and charcoal BBQ, creating a delightful setting for evenings beneath the stars.
