Set amidst stunning countryside, a grouping of early 19th-century dairy cow sheds and milking parlour have been restored and converted into three unique and spacious dwellings. This picturesque spot offers abundant walking trails and a rich historical backdrop, with the nearby ancient Iron Age hill forts of Lewesdon Hill and Pilsdon Pen, both within 4 miles. The Wessex Ridgeway, a long-distance path running from Lyme Regis to the Dorset/Wiltshire border, passes through the farm and is footsteps from the cottage. The popular pub in Stoke Abbott is also within walking distance (2 miles). Perfectly situated for exploring, you'll be conveniently close to charming towns like Beaminster (4.5 miles) and Bridport (5.5 miles), where you can enjoy local delicacies and peruse independent shops. Venture just 8 miles south to the iconic Jurassic Coast, home to West Bay and beloved Lyme Regis, renowned for its quaint cottages, vibrant streets, and diverse array of galleries and eateries. Within a 23-mile radius, you'll find a wealth of attractions such as Tintinhull Gardens, Montacute House, and the Fleet Air Arm Museum.

From the parking area, head across the shared courtyard garden and take the steps down to your private entrance door. Once inside you'll be met with a welcoming open-plan living space, cleverly divided into zones. There is a comfortable space to relax beside the wood burner and Smart TV, as well as a gorgeous hand-built kitchen, finished in a cheery colour sure to lift your spirits. There is room to dine just opposite and the vaulted ceiling, combined with exposed stonework, creates a wonderful ambience. At opposite ends of the property are the two bedrooms.

The other room is an inviting twin complete with a striking en-suite bathroom with a free-standing bath and a very generous separate shower.

The cottage we stayed in was beautiful, lots of love has clearly gone into refurbishing it. All of the furniture and equipment was top quality. The rooms were huge and spacious, yet felt very cosy and homely. Beds were so comfy, with really cosy bedding. Some really nice treats were left out on our arrival, including local eggs, which were deliciouRead mores. The courtyard was also stunning, with beautiful planting, we definitely come back in the summer months to enjoy! Host was also really friendly! Hide

A fabulous property in a beautiful location on a working farm. Jo and her family made our family of four (two teens plus dog) feel very welcome.

We loved staying at Stoke Knapp Farm. Woad Cottage has just recently been beautifully renovated and furnished to a very high standard and it's in an absolutely stunning location.

This was a new property refurbished to a very high standard. Everything first class and very tastefully done and it felt very private and not overlooked. There was a generous Welcome Pack and the owners were discretely around on the farm if needed. There are many walks from the buildings over the fields and up to the ancient forest of Levesdon HillRead more. Dorset is one of the most beautiful counties this country has to offer and this is the perfect place to explore it. Will definitely book again. Hide
