The Old Stables - 4 bedrooms, family countryside retreat, dog friendly

The Old Stables is a four-bedroom detached holiday home which sleeps 6 adults and 2 children. Located in the small village of East Holme, approximately halfway between Wareham and Wool. This spacious property provides impressive accommodation, superb gardens and offers a delightful location for an enjoyable family holiday.

The comfortable living room is perfect for relaxing together, with cosy seating, an open fire for cooler evenings, and doors opening onto the garden. The kitchen and dining space offers a sociable heart to the home, featuring a farmhouse-style table, garden access, and all the essentials for easy self-catering, plus a separate utility area for added convenience.

Upstairs, four bedrooms provide flexible accommodation, including two doubles with countryside views, a smaller double, and a bunk room suited to children. A family bathroom serves the first floor, with the additional ground floor shower room adding extra practicality.

The exceptional gardens provide ample outside space, at the front of the property is a beautiful enclosed garden with side access to the much larger rear garden, where there is a large lawn area and a patio, perfect for some al fresco dining whilst taking in the peace and tranquility of the surrounding countryside. At the front of the property there is parking for two cars in front of the two garages.

The Old Stable is a wonderful property in an idyllic location, set within secluded gardens and surrounded by countryside in the small hamlet of East Holme. It is situated close to the charming Saxon market town of Wareham, with its selection of shops and scenic quay and is within easy reach of the Jurrasic Coast and the stunning locations of Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door, the historic village of Corfe Castle and the beautiful beaches of Studland. Kimmeridge Bay is only a short drive away and provides the perfect day trip for fossil hunting! A car is recommended, due to the location.
