The Downwood is a truly breath-taking detached holiday home nestled in Dorset’s picturesque countryside on the edge of Blandford Forum. This fabulous, dog friendly holiday home benefits from a fun-filled outdoor area including an outdoor pool, a tennis court, a badminton and croquet area and a hot tub as well as access to the Downwood Vineyard and 28 acres of woodland; the perfect choice for families or groups of friends looking to explore the wonders of Dorset. Cross the threshold into your holiday home and unwind in one of two welcoming sitting rooms, one of which boasts a crackling woodburning stove and Smart TV; the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring. Later, step into the fully-equipped kitchen where you can rustle up heart meals for the whole family, gather around the spacious dining table to tuck into their culinary creation. On sunny days head outside to take advantage of all of the amenities, to indulge in an alfresco affair with the help of the barbecue or watch the stars filling the sky from the bubbling hot tub. On rainy days you can still admire the beauty of the garden from the comfort of the conservatory and orangery and partake in some friendly competition in the games room with snooker table and table football. When the evening comes to an end, wash off the day in either of the bathrooms before choosing between eight beautifully-appointed bedrooms, including both king-sizes and twins, to catch up on some sleep. Make unforgettable memories with the whole family at The Downwood!

The market town of Blandford Forum, England, sits on the banks of the Stour River. Almost all of the town, which had been destroyed by a fire in 1731, was rebuilt in the 18th century, at which time it became known for its Georgian architecture. Local architects John and William Bastard were commissioned by King George II to design the new town square. Every year during the first week of May, Blandford hosts the Georgian Fayre, a festival honouring the town's Georgian past with displays, reenactments, live performances, and more. During the late Bank Holiday weekend, the town hosts the Great Dorset Steam Fair, one of the most popular annual events. Featuring over 2,000 exhibits and a vintage steam funfair, this festival is awash in colour. Features a variety of shops, supermarkets, restaurants, bars, cafes, and even a Georgian tearoom. There's a lot to see in this charming town, so it's great for tourists year-round.
