Tallet Barn West, Blandford Forum

Tallet Barn West is a stunning converted barn on a working farm in Sturminster Newton, Dorset. This peaceful countryside retreat offers spectacular views across rolling fields and sits just half a mile from the village. It's the perfect spot for anyone wanting to escape the daily grind without being completely cut off from civilization.

Set in tranquil farmland, this location gives you the best of rural Dorset. Explore the network of footpaths right from your doorstep or take a short drive to Hambledon Hill (5 miles away). The area is wonderfully dark at night - perfect for stargazing after a day of exploring. No light pollution means you'll see stars you didn't even know existed - almost as many as you'll see when you close your eyes in the hot tub after too much local cider.

The accommodation sleeps 4 guests across 2 bedrooms - one king-size and one twin. There's a shower room with WC plus a separate toilet. The barn features a well-equipped kitchen with all modern appliances, a cosy wood burner (first basket of logs included) and Smart TV. The enclosed patio area includes BBQ facilities and a picnic bench.

Nearby attractions include historic Shaftesbury (8 miles) with its famous Gold Hill, Hambledon Hill's Iron Age fort (5 miles) and several market towns within easy driving distance. The property is just 3 miles from the nearest market town where you'll find shops and pubs.

Tallet Barn West is ideal for families or couples seeking relaxation. The private hot tub and wood burner make it perfect year-round. Tennis enthusiasts will love the indoor court available for afternoon bookings.
