The property is located just five miles from the historic market town of Sherborne where you can spend an interesting day exploring its two castles, the historic Abbey, as well as its range of shops and choice of restaurants and pubs. Of course, Dorset is well-known for its breathtaking Jurassic Coast, which lies just thirty miles south of the property, offering a wealth of sweeping beaches, clifftop walks along the South West Coast Path and opportunities to try out a range of watersports. Other places of interest in the area include the Haynes Motor Museum, the Fleet Air Arm Museum, and the Cerne Abbas Giant.

Stepping into the ground floor of this attractive semi-detached barn conversion property, you will find yourself in the inviting open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with its beamed ceiling and homely atmosphere.

The dining table comfortably seats four, behind which the kitchen area running along one side of the room is equipped with an oven, hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and washer/dryer. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms, both with sloping ceilings, and therefore some reduced head-height. The first of these is a double room which benefits from its own TV, whilst the second is a pleasant twin room. The shower room with its shower and WC is also located on the first floor.

Heading outside, the property has a delightful enclosed patio garden with a table and chairs from which you can enjoy views over the surrounding fields. Guests are also able to make use of a shared games room which offers a snooker table, dartboard, and a table football table. The property is located on a non-working part of the owners’ organic farm, but they are always happy to show guests around and introduce them to the resident sheep and chickens. There is secure bike storage available.

A very special place in a beautiful location. We enjoyed the peace and quiet, soaking up the sun and relaxing in such a beautiful setting. Fantastic for the dog - with the fields so close to run around in - and with accessible walks all over the area.

Chris was a great host and, while unobtrusive, available if we needed. Thank you Chris & Lynne! Hide

We had a lovely stay at the Creamery. The property was a little small but that is mainly because I have 2 growing boys who like to lay on the sofa and a husband who is 6ft 7 and so the 2 x 2 seater sofas were a little small for us. The cottage was very comfortable otherwise and the games room is a nice touch.

The Creamery is a superb cottage. A great place to stay in, really cosy and nothing was missing. The views out from the patio doors was wonderful: straight into the sheep paddock. Our dog was very happy, too: 24 hours 'telly'. The owner looked after us very well and gave us some additional suggestions for places to visit. We would come back anytimeRead more. Hide

The Creamery is a simple cottage hideaway on a farm that oozes comfort, cosiness and quiet. Quite literally plonked in the middle of a stunning vista of rolling verdant countryside, you will will be greeted by some local sheep in the field opposite. If ever you need to get away from it all this is the place. Enjoy!
