The Downwood is a huge detached holiday home in Dorset, right on the edge of Blandford Forum. This accommodation is massive - it sleeps 16 people across 8 bedrooms with 5 bathrooms. Perfect for big family gatherings where you actually want to avoid each other sometimes. The property sits within 28 acres of woodland and even has its own vineyard access. That's right - wine practically on tap!
The grounds are ridiculous. There's a heated swimming pool for when British weather decides to play nice, plus a tennis court, croquet area and badminton space. It's like a posh country club but without the membership fees or judgy staff.

It's like a posh country club but without the membership fees or judgy staff. The hot tub is where you'll end up after everyone's had a few glasses of the local vineyard produce.
Accommodation includes six well-appointed bedrooms - three king-size rooms (two with en-suites) and three twin rooms (one with en-suite). Two king rooms feature TVs and one has a freestanding bath for proper luxury soaking. There's a games room with snooker table, table football and a Smart TV. Two sitting rooms give feuding teenagers their own territory.
Nearby attractions include Longleat Safari Park (30 miles), Paultons Park with Peppa Pig World (35 miles), Hamworthy Beach (20 miles) and the Great Dorset Steam Fair which happens annually. The closest pub is just 0.4 miles away - an essential measurement for any holiday.
The Downwood is ideal for multi-generation family holidays or friend reunions. With a woodburning stove, BBQ area and enough space that you won't hear Uncle Bob's snoring from the other wing, this accommodation ticks all boxes.
