Bourne Farm Cottage

Bourne Farm Cottage suits families, groups and couples looking for space to spread out across eight beds. The four bedrooms include two with kingsize beds, one double and one with two singles, while two bathrooms mean mornings run smoothly. The ground floor has an open-plan kitchen and dining area with a solid oak table for eight, a woodburner in an inglenook fireplace, and a shower room. Essentials like bed linen, towels, electricity and wifi are covered, and there's a welcome pack on arrival.

The kitchen is equipped for cooking from scratch—electric oven, gas hob, dishwasher, fridge and coffee machine among the basics. One dog stays free, and there's a washing facility outside. The front garden is enclosed and secure, with patio seating, a gas barbecue and a hot tub that fits five. Off-road parking fits four or more cars. Smoking is not permitted inside. The location works for exploring Dorset's coast and countryside, with Blandford Forum itself a short distance away.
