About this property

Cowleaze has a lovely countryside location where there are some great walks to be enjoyed and guests could spot some wildlife! . Bailey Ridge Farm Cottages, located in the beautiful Dorset countryside of the Blackmore Vale, are on the owners’ family run farm with a beef suckler herd, a small flock of sheep and chickens. These three delightful, converted stone barns (refs dbbm, dbbl and dbbk) offer good quality accommodation and a comfortable place to relax, unwind, enjoy country walking, see plenty of wildlife and are ideal for exploring Dorset and Somerset. They can be booked together to accommodate up to 18 guests. Golf and fishing are within easy driving, and yachting, canoeing and sailing are available at Halstock Reservoir. Wriggle View (ref dbbm) offers ‘upside down’ accommodation, whilst Jolliffe (ref dbbk) and Cowleaze (ref dbbl) are of the conventional design. The owners welcome guests to enjoy the farm activities and animals which the children will love.
