About this property

‘Sid’s Place’ A place for peace and relaxation!

Sid’s Place is located on our equestrian property on the Dorset/Hampshire border which is equal in distance between Wimborne in Dorset and Ringwood in Hampshire, both of which are pretty market towns, making it ideal for exploring both counties. The New Forest National Park and UNESCO World Heritage Coastline are on our doorstep. Our coastline offers 10 miles of sandy beaches from Hengistbury Head to Sandbanks peninsula. From Sandbanks you can board a chain ferry to Shell Bay to explore the Purbecks and Corfe Castle. Other places to visit very nearby are Moors Valley Country Park, Avon Country Park, Liberty’s Owl, Raptor and Reptile Centre and Snowtrax Alpine Activity Centre.

Adjoining our main property Sid’s Place is totally independent and a perfect place to isolate and get away from busy life! We are tucked away in the middle of our land surrounded by our five horses. Our highland cows are a few fields down our lane and are also very popular! The peace and quiet is delightful and having forest access is a must for walking, running, cycling and of course for our riding. We are just a stones throw away from the A31 which gives easy access to surrounding towns and places further a field. Bournemouth is approximately 6-7 miles which offers good shopping and miles of sandy beaches. The New Forest National Park is also about the same distance away. So although we cherish our quiet home there is a hive of activity on our doorstep should we want it!!

Built to a high specification it offers well presented open-plan accommodation for up to two people with a decking area to the rear benefitting from a forest view.

The property is only 5 years old and is of wooden construction. With good insulation and underfloor heating it’s very cosy even though the ceilings are vaulted and the living area is open plan.

If you want peace and tranquility this is for you.
We had a fantastic stay! The property was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. The location was perfect—peaceful yet close enough to attractions and main towns if that’s what you need. Sharon and her husband are the perfect hosts. They’re friendly and responsive, making the whole experience smooth from start to finish. We especially loved being able to go for walks in the forest right from the door step!We would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great place to stay in the area. We’ll definitely be back!

An absolute gem of a property
A wonderful holiday home with the loveliest of hosts. In such a gorgeous location, we loved being able to walk straight into the woods and the peace and tranquility was just what we needed. The home was well equipped and comfortable, we didn’t want to come home!

2nd home whilst bathroom renovated
The rental property is very well appointed. Lots of little extras were provided by Sharon and Andrew. The location is excellent in a semi rural position but close to amenities. We had a very relaxing stay whilst our bathroom was being renovated. We really felt at home seeing the horses and beautiful scenery every day. Sharon and Andrew were excellent hosts and we would definitely book again. We were made very welcome and we throughly enjoyed our month long stay.

Great location!!
We stayed in Jauary and it rained every day. However, this didn't take anything away from our stay. The location is perfect, placed right next to a forest, which is perfect for walks. The hosts are incredible. The property is incredible. All around incredible!

Lovely stay
Overall we had a lovely stay, Sid's Place is a lovely space attached to the owners home. Everything you need is there and sitting out on the patio in the sunshine was delightful. Unfortunately there was a problem with the TV while we were there, Sharon ordered a new remote which arrived the next day but unfortunately didn't resolve the problems. I understand she was going to order a new TV if the next guests continued to have problems. Other than that Sid's Place definitely deserves a 5 star rating.

About the host

Hosted by Sharon Harvey

Host profile image
My family have owned the land for 50 years plus and I have personally grazed my horses here for around 25 years. More recently we were lucky enough to be granted permission to change the last remaing barn into a dwelling. After spending two of the coldest winters in years in caravans we eventually moved into our new home in February 2018.

Wow, we love it!

Why they chose this property

If it’s peace and quiet you are looking for this is the perfect property. Fantastic for walking and cycling it offers a real chance to get back in touch with nature with the added benefit of being only five minutes away from the main A31.

What makes this property unique

A new barn conversion with plenty of character and charming features. Located in the middle of our land and surrounded by our horses. Not forgetting a cheeky cat and very old tortoise!
