About this property

Nestled in the sleepy village of Dewlish, surrounded by rolling Dorset hills and tranquil landscape scenery, is Churn House. This 18th century converted barn enjoys a quiet corner of a courtyard, embracing the edge of a 500-acre dairy and arable farm. This is the perfect getaway for celebrating a special occasion with your loved ones or for bringing large groups together for corporate events, in the heart of Dorset countryside. Full of character, Churn House offers attractive brick and flint walls, pine panelling and exposed beams, highlighting its charming framework. Gather around the fire in the sitting room on a wintry evening and catch up on your day together, there is plenty of space to spread yourselves out and make the most of your down time. The farmhouse-style kitchen is well-equipped for rustling up a tasty meal for everyone, with a dining table, traditional-style dresser and plenty of storage. You have a choice of bedrooms to catch your rest in the evening, two of which offer flexible sleeping arrangements with zip/link beds. There is also a travel cot available for those travelling with little ones and a lovely bathroom and shower room to accommodate all. Enjoy an afternoon on your very own patio with a refreshing drink in hand or make the most of the shared heated pool and games room on-site. With bridle paths trailing from the farm and many picturesque walks to enjoy with the family, you won't be stuck for things to do. There are also several inns nearby and the local village pub is just a stroll away, for those evenings you fancy a pint on draft or a bite to eat out.

    Plenty of space for eight, plus one dog. Very comfortable beds and set in glorious countryside.

  • Sarah

    The games room was a bonus to keep the children occupied during the heavy rains. Luckily there was a large utility for our damp clothes and footwear. There was a power cut in the village one evening, after contacting Mrs Booth someone was at our door with two large candles within 5 mins. Excellent service. Local pub 2 mins away welcoming to dogs and children

  • Louise

    Lovely Christmas tree to welcome us, everything we needed in the property. Great games room. Do not think pictures do it justice. Would highly recommend it & also fantastic local pub a couple of minutes down the lane.
