About this property
This stylish, contemporary former milking parlour with outstanding rural views provides the perfect accommodation and setting for a family gathering or relaxing couples break in this beautiful part of Dorset.
Cleverly converted from an ancient cart shed/log barn and mid-century milking parlour, Hoods provides bright, contemporary, light filled accommodation with an open-plan living/dining/kitchen area, utility room, cloakroom, family bathroom and two bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room. With wonderful far reaching views across the Marshwood Vale including local landmark Colmer’s Hill, you can experience some of the best uninterrupted views of Dorset.
Hoods is a place to gather, whether you are seeking a bolthole to gather your thoughts whilst you relax and recharge, or as a place to gather with friends and cook and share long lazy meals and chats around the table or gazing across the landscape.
Sitting within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at Kingsland Farm, there is plenty of wildlife to experience and enjoy when relaxing on the large decked terrace, be it the tawny owls, pheasants, roe deer, badgers or numerous other local species.
Additional accommodation can be booked (subject to availability) at neighbouring Loaf.

Truly perfect place to stay whatever the weather ! We canât think of one thing we would change. Highlights out of the house were Symondsbury Estate walks, fossil hunting on Charmouth Beach, Kingcombe Nature Reserve with an excellent cafe, and wonderful lunch at the Olive Tree in Bridport. Excellent wine tour and tasting at nearby Furleigh Vineyard. Thank you so much/ canât wait to come back!
