Enjoy far-reaching countryside views, while relaxing in the private hot tub or for a more active break take advantage of the many nearby walks or on-site indoor tennis court with a break in this converted former barn.

Set in a rural spot with views across the Blackmore Vale, it’s half a mile to the pretty village centre, where you’ll find a shop and pub. Just 3 miles away is the market town of Sturminster Newton, which has further amenities, a pretty working mill and popular trailway, which leads to Blandford Forum. This is the ideal route for walking and cycling or plan a stroll along the Wessex Ridgeway. Hambledon Hill and neighbouring Hod Hill (5 miles) are also well worth a visit to take in the stunning views across three counties. The nearby River Stour boasts some excellent wild swimming spots, perfect for the summer months or explore local towns including Shaftesbury (8 miles), home to the iconic Gold Hill.

Accessed via an unmade lane and shared drive, this semi-detached converted barn is timber clad and has lovely far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside. Set within an organic farm, sliding doors give access into the light and bright open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner.

There is space to dine just opposite and comfortable seating in the living area, both areas allow for you to appreciate the privacy and outside beauty of the farm. The large comfy sofa beside the wood burner allows for you to fully relax of an evening while making use of the Smart TV. A shower room with walk-in shower and WC is on the ground floor, stairs rising to the first floor located between kitchen and bathroom. Here you will find a king-size bedroom with balcony window so you can really take in the breath-taking scenery and a comfortable twin bedroom just opposite. A separate WC is placed between the two bedrooms. Due to the setting within the eaves, there are some areas of restricted head height, which only adds to the character and charm of the converted building.

We went for a long weekend to celebrate my birthday and it was the perfect location for what we needed! The views and setting were beautiful and not too far away from exploring little villages near by! The hot tub was the cherry on the top! Mum and I loved it, thank you!

Our countryside holiday lived up to our expectations. The accommodation in Tallet barn West is accessed by a long narrow and bumpy lane off the main road so be prepared. Being able to sit in the hot tub and take in the scenery was lovely. The surrounding area is covered with a network of footpaths to get you out to discover the landscape. Young fooRead moretball players are able to make use of the small pitch at most times however the indoor tennis/badminton courts need to be booked 24 hours inadvance. Hide

We really enjoyed our stay and using the tennis facilities. Property is somewhat remote which is good and peaceful but does mean driving a few miles to shops etc. would recommend for a quiet hideaway or family holiday with space to play and walk Thank you for your hospitality
