Napier Farmhouse sits in Minterne Magna, Dorset - a proper old-school farmhouse with bags of character. This 5-bedroom beauty sleeps up to 10 (with 2 further single beds available on request) and comes with two cosy reception rooms including a snug with an open fireplace. Perfect for multi-generational family gatherings where you need space to spread out or hide from the in-laws.
Set within stunning countryside, the farmhouse offers exclusive access to Minterne Gardens - 27 acres of flowering plants and specified trees to wander through. Just 2 miles from Cerne Abbas and 10 miles from both Dorchester and Sherborne.
The accommodation includes five diverse bedrooms: a super-king zip-and-link with en-suite, a twin room, one double with two single day beds available on request and two additional double rooms. Three bathrooms ensure nobody's crossing their legs in the morning. The kitchen comes fully equipped with a range-style cooker, microwave, fridge and dishwasher, with a washing machine and tumble dryer in the boot room.
Nearby attractions include Minterne Gardens with its spectacular rhododendrons and bluebells (on your doorstep), the famous Cerne Abbas Giant (2 miles, 5-minute drive), Dorchester's museums and high street (10 miles, 20-minute drive) and Sherborne with its two castles and beautiful Abbey (10 miles, 20-minute drive).
