Surrounded by dog-friendly pubs and exceptional walking routes, there’s no better place to spend quality time with man’s best friend than in Dorset’s first-class countryside. Perfectly appointed for four guests and two dogs, this barn conversion provides a top dog base for any pack hoping to explore this local area on foot. Routes for rewarding walkies are always guaranteed close by, simply set off and let your pups sniff out adventure along the River Stour or whilst following other waymarked paths. If your doggo acts as your favourite fishing companion, you’ll be pleased to find that the property benefits from a small stretch of river where you can sit and seek a catch of the day.
With quality fittings, original beams and remarkably high ceilings, this property is certain to impress from the moment you arrive. Indoors, you’ll find a lounge, kitchen and diner in one bright space. Let your pets find the very best spot to curl up after a day of adventure as you settle into comfy seating options. Discover two double bedrooms, one on the ground floor and one on a mezzanine floor above the lounge, along with a sprawling garden that’s enclosed and perfect for your escape-prone pups to play in.
Take the lead and mosey on over to Stourpaine (0.5 miles), a chocolate-box Dorset village with a welcoming local pub and direct access to the North Dorset Trailway. Well-loved by dog walkers, cyclists and horse riders alike, this 14-mile stretch leads you to some of the area’s prettiest woodlands and scenic spots. Set tails wagging with a summit of Hambledon Hill (4.5 miles), a stunning peak boasting views out over Dorset, Somerset and Wiltshire, or head for the coast (23 miles) to spend time on dog-friendly beaches.
