Tucked away in the quiet hamlet of Wigbeth, this wonderful property promises an unforgettable escape to guests – including the canine ones! This serene property offers plenty of space for families, friends or couples and up to two pups – you could all soon be off exploring the beautiful village of Beaulieu in the New Forest (29 miles) or stay closer to home to admire the architecture of Wimborne Minster (8 miles).
The property, which is part of a complex of holiday homes accessed via a shared courtyard, is spacious and comfortable. The open-plan living area is fresh and bright thanks to vaulted beamed ceilings and large bifold doors that open out onto the garden, but you’ll still find it cosy in the evenings when you want to snuggle up on the sofa in front of the TV. Retreat to one of the two welcoming bedrooms, one super king size and one king size - both can be arranged as twins on request, for a good night’s rest. On lazy days, pack a picnic and head to the shared paddock on-site; the children and pups will love running around together on sunny afternoons.
Head off to Badbury Rings (11 miles), an Iron Age hill fort that dates back to 800BC, and see how many wild herbs and flowers you can spot. It’s part of the National Trust’s Kingston Lacy estate (10 miles); make sure you take a stroll around the stunning 17th-century gardens and take one of the 12 way-marked footpaths around the wider estate. But if it’s a beach you’re after, Hamworthy Park (16 miles) is dog-friendly all year round and has a paddling pool (open May – September) and a play area, all framed by beautiful views of Poole Harbour (21 miles) and the Purbeck Hills.
