Enclosed back garden with sitting-out area, garden furniture, barbecue and firepit. Private parking for 2 cars. No smoking. (Outside only). You turn off the lane and follow the farm drive until the world seems to soften, and there, tucked quietly into the parish of Marshwood, you find a newly renovated converted barn that feels as though it has been waiting just for you. Pushing open the door, you step into an open-plan living space where everything flows with ease, a well-equipped kitchen ready for unhurried cooking, a dining table that invites long meals and conversation, and a welcoming sitting area where a wood burner promises warmth on cooler evenings and a smart TV including Netflix subscription waits for slower nights in. After a day outside, you wander into the sleek double shower room, letting the daisy shower wash the road from your shoulders, before retreating to the spacious bedroom where a super king bed encourages deep rest and late mornings.
From the open plan living room, doors open onto the enclosed rear garden, wicker furniture catching the first light as you sip your coffee beside the firepit, looking straight across to the open field beyond. A public footpath begins there, calling you out for a gentle walk straight from the farm, boots brushing through grass as the countryside stretches ahead. Follow the lanes or the footpaths and you’ll soon reach the heart of Marshwood, where the Bottle Inn offers a warm welcome and a sense of village life that feels unchanged by time. When curiosity pulls you further, the famous Jurassic Coast is only a short drive away, its ancient cliffs and sweeping beaches waiting to be explored, while nearby Bridport buzzes with independent shops, markets and creative energy. Each day ends the same way, back at the barn, where firelight flickers, the garden grows quiet, and the story of your holiday gently writes itself.

Lovely cottage in a peaceful location with views over open fields. Everything you need like home from home. Secure garden for dogs. We would have given 5 stars if we hadn’t had an issue with the water flow and the shower. The owner was very proactive and helpful but the issue was not fixed until almost the end of our holiday. In fairness to the lovely owners this was an issue that should have been raised by previous customers. Definitely recommend.

Little Oaks was the most wonderful place to stay. The accommodation was extremely well presented and provided an excellent base from which to explore west Dorset. After a days exploration it was marvelous to sit on the patio with only the country sounds of sheep and crows to keep you company.5 stars all round.
