Welcome to your perfect Dorset hideaway — a lovely bright and airy first-floor stable conversion tucked away near the charming market town of Blandford Forum. This stylish and spacious holiday let offers an inviting blend of rustic charm and modern comfort — an ideal retreat for couples, friends or anyone looking to explore beautiful North Dorset.
Step inside and be greeted by a generous open-plan living space that includes a well-equipped kitchen, dining area and comfortable sitting room. Bathed in natural light, this welcoming hub is perfect for cooking up local produce from the town’s market (held every Thursday and Saturday) and enjoying meals together, relaxing with a film on the sofa, or planning your day’s adventure.
Just off the living area, you’ll find a large double bedroom that’s been tastefully decorated to offer a restful and peaceful night’s sleep after a day of exploring.

Across the hall, the brand-new bathroom adds a touch of luxury to your stay, complete with both a separate bath for long, indulgent soaks and a walk-in shower for a refreshing start to your morning.
Outside your door, Blandford Forum awaits — a historic Georgian town on the River Stour with plenty to see and do. Wander the listed buildings on the Blandford Forum Heritage Trail and soak up centuries of history in the beautifully preserved streets and the Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul.
Just a short stroll will take you to The Blandford Town Museum and The Blandford Fashion Museum, where local history and costume collections make for fascinating visits. For families, Crazy Monsters Soft Play is a fun stop for kids, while nature lovers will adore wandering through Milldown Nature Reserve or picnicking in Larksmead Playing Field.

A short drive or bike ride brings you to the historic ramparts of Badbury Rings and the rolling, wild landscapes atop Hambledon Hill, both perfect for walking, photography and spotting wildlife. For military history enthusiasts, the Royal Signals Museum offers engaging exhibits on communications history. And if you’re exploring further afield, the stunning grounds and stately rooms of Kingston Lacy are well worth the short drive.
Whether you’re here to relax amid Dorset’s scenic beauty, savour local culture, or enjoy outdoor adventures, this charming stable conversion is your perfect base for an unforgettable stay.
