The Olde Chapel School House is a striking converted chapel 4 miles from Cerne Abbas in rural Dorset. This historic building offers three bedrooms sleeping up to 4 guests in a peaceful countryside setting. The original features like stained glass windows give this accommodation genuine character without the usual religious guilt trip.
Set in the heart of Dorset's rolling hills, this property gives you direct access to miles of countryside walks right from your doorstep. The sheltered hot tub overlooks fields where you can soak while bird-watching (the feathered kind, not the nosy neighbours).
Accommodation includes an open-plan lounge/diner with wood burner, fully-equipped kitchen with electric oven, microwave, fridge, dishwasher and washing machine. There's a downstairs bedroom and bathroom, plus two more bedrooms upstairs. Kids will love the cosy den, tucked away as a quiet spot of their own.
Nearby attractions include Dorchester (15 minutes), Sherborne with its historic abbey (25 minutes) and the world-famous Jurassic Coast (30 minutes). The local markets offer fresh produce and crafts worth exploring.
The Olde Chapel School House suits families or small groups wanting countryside escape with modern comforts. Where else can you soak in a hot tub while contemplating sheep instead of spreadsheets, with nothing but Dorset's fields for company?
