Whether you’re in search of a slow-paced, restorative retreat or an action-packed countryside adventure, this eco-friendly home welcomes you to enjoy it all with a wonderful sense of ease and comfort. Sitting peacefully in the Dorset hills with the market town of Gillingham just a short drive away, days can be spent embracing fresh country air, following nearby hiking trails and admiring the beautiful views.
