Snowdrop

Step through the door of Snowdrop into an open-plan living, dining and kitchen space on a single floor—all designed for ease and comfort. The living area has a Smart TV for evenings in; the kitchen is fitted with electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge and coffee machine, letting you cook at whatever pace suits you. The bedroom holds a kingsize bed and dressing table. A bath in the bathroom and a heated towel rail complete the layout.

The property stands on the former Downwood Vineyard Estate, thirty acres of grounds where you can walk, explore, or simply sit out. Your private hot tub accommodates four and overlooks the front garden, which has a patio and barbecue. Parking for one car is provided. Electricity, heating, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are included; bring a dog if you like, as one pet stays free.

Within two minutes' drive, Ashley Wood golf course is accessible. Shaftesbury, Wimborne, Poole and Bournemouth are all reachable for a day out, as are Weymouth and the Isle of Purbeck with its coastline. Monkey World, Bovington Tank Museum, Kingston Lacy and the beaches at Sandbanks are among the attractions within reach. Smoking is not permitted inside.
