  • 18th-century converted barn with views over open countryside
  • Set over one level with open-plan living space and an enclosed garden
  • Close to the borders of Dorset and Hampshire and ideally placed for touring
Overview
Property code: 81377

This contemporary barn conversion was completed in 2021 and is set within an Italian-style courtyard. The striking interior has open-plan space and hints of original character.

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.

  • 2 bedrooms - 1 super king-size and 1 zip and link king size (twin beds available on request)
  •  2 en-suite shower rooms with shower and WC
  • Electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, microwave and washing machine
  • Smart internet only TV in lounge
  • Travel cot and highchair available
  • Enclosed courtyard style garden
  •  Use of a shared paddock
  • An off -road parking space for one car is available with a second space normally available on request 
  • Shop 3 miles and pub 2.5 miles
  • Pay as you go electric vehicle charging point on site
  • Increased accessibility - not suitable for wheelchairs
  • Electric vehicle charging on site
  • This property will be decorated for Christmas
  • Arrival: 16:00 onwards
  • Departure: before 10:00, unless otherwise stated in your arrival details
  • 2 dogs allowed. Dogs are charged at £20 each per full or part week

We enjoyed our stay. The cottage was big enough for four adults and two small dogs. The kitchen was very well equipped and we were welcomed in by the owner. The small problem we had with water temperature was sorted immediately. A quiet location, perfect for touring.

A modern, warm barn with some original features and a touch of luxury. Good location for exploring a wide area of Dorset. Great access to a paddock for dogs, (only from number 3). Owners were discreet, friendly and helpful. A basic welcome pack would enhance stay as shops are a car drive away. For a Chinese take-away the Oriental Express was amazinRead moreg. Keysafe available as only one key for property offered, so if needed ask on check-in. Hide

We booked 3 Ploughmans Row. The location is superb. The outside area is very nice, and we had a good secure garden for our 2 dogs. The accommodation is open plan, the living space is small for 4 adults, but bedrooms are a good size. Although the property had been open for a year, our accommodation had areas that were unfinished. There were also areRead moreas that werent very clean. We raised these issues with the owners, and with Holiday Cottages, and we have been told they are being addressed. Hide

The cottage is set within a group of five around an attractive open space. For dog walkers there is a paddock (not secure) but no dog walking from the property. The Forestry Commission site is close by but is not safe to walk to.
