About this property

Loaf - Ancient granary sympathetically restored making it a truly special

A unique country bolthole, this sensitively restored historical granary is the perfect base from which to explore the delights of coast and countryside that West Dorset offers. Approached using the ancient stone steps, Loaf provides you with luxurious open-plan accommodation including sitting/dining/kitchen and bedroom areas, and a generous en-suite bathroom with bath and separate shower enclosure

Much thought has been given to protecting the original features in this unique building, making it a truly special place to stay. Thoughtful touches include hand chosen furniture pieces, a king-size bedstead with attractive, quality bed linen, and a fully equipped kitchen with fridge and icebox, oven and hob, microwave and slimline dishwasher. The sitting area has two armchairs for relaxing and watching television, playing chess or enjoying the other games provided, and the dining area houses the perfect table for two. There is also a laundry room located on the ground floor of the granary.

Sitting within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at Kingsland Farm, surrounding with wildlife to experience and enjoy, and panoramic views when relaxing in your own arbour, overlooking the stunning Marshwood Vale. For a truly memorable stay in this beautiful part of Dorset, Loaf has all the perfect ingredients for your solo retreat or couple's break.
