This stunning 3-bedroom hot tub barn is a holiday retreat in Melbury Abbas, Dorset. This 4-star property sits in the heart of rolling hills and open farmland with footpaths right from your doorstep. Perfect for families or friends who want to escape the rat race without sacrificing comfort. The views are so good you might forget to blink.
The setting is rural bliss with miles of countryside to explore. Shaftesbury is just 5 minutes away, while the Jurassic Coast (a World Heritage site) is within easy reach. Dog owners will love the enclosed garden and paddock - finally somewhere your four-legged pal can run without you having panic attacks about them disappearing.
The accommodation sleeps 6 across three bedrooms: a king-size with dormer window, a twin zip-and-link (convertible to super king) and a bunk bedroom - all with TVs because holiday arguments about what to watch are so 1990s. There's a galley kitchen, open-plan lounge/diner with oak flooring and exposed beams, plus two bathrooms including a wet room.
Nearby attractions include Longleat House and Safari Park (great for kids and adults who still think they're kids), Stourhead House, Salisbury Cathedral and Monkey World, all within easy driving distance. The games barn with table tennis and football will keep everyone entertained when British weather does its thing.
This rental is ideal for families, couples, or friends seeking quality time together. Previous guests rave about the peaceful location and thoughtful touches. Just don't blame us when you don't want to leave.
