Escape to the Dorset countryside with this sustainably built and developed barn conversion on a small organic farm. Boasting rustic and quirky accommodation with exposed beams and wooden floorboards inside and a private patio for al fresco dining outside, this is the perfect bolthole for two. Explore this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on foot with your loved one and dogs as you discover both its unspoilt countryside and the dramatic Jurassic Coast, which is just 2 miles away.

Set adjacent to the owner’s home, this delightful annexe is a spacious, homely and charming retreat for two. Rustle up delicious romantic meals in the kitchen area, which occupies one end of the open-plan living space. In the evenings, draw the curtains and snuggle down on the inviting sofa to enjoy a cosy night in front of the TV. Or, if the sun is shining, throw open the patio doors and enjoy a spot of stargazing on the enclosed patio. When it’s time for bed, climb the beautiful spiral staircase up to the light and bright king-size bedroom and en-suite bathroom.

Located on a small organic farm with sheep and chickens grazing nearby, this property offers a peaceful retreat just 2 miles from the coast. Spanning 95 miles of the Dorset and East Devon coastline, the Jurassic Coast takes in charming seaside villages and towns. Follow the footpath that leads from the farm to Charmouth (2.5 miles), home to an array of shops, pubs and a spectacular beach. Visit nearby Lyme Regis (6 miles) with its fossil-rich beach and selection of independent shops and eateries, or head east to visit the historic market town of Bridport (6 miles), being sure to pop to the beach at West Bay (7.5 miles).
