Nestling
amongst the patchwork quilt of fields and oak woods
between Sturminster Newton and Bulbarrow Hill, in
this area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is the
home of Wendy and Lee Dickenson - Gorse Farm House,
a truly peaceful place to stay.
Lying
in the Blackmore Vale, this former farmhouse sits
in a secluded hollow off the beaten track, but within
easy reach of many of the attractions of Dorset,
Somerset and Wiltshire.
It is also prime walking country and lies adjacent
to the North Dorset Cycleway.
The house has been stylishly
refurbished, has plenty of character, all modern
day comforts and extensive parking.
Prices
from £30.00 pppn

Guests have plenty of space to make themselves
comfortable. They have their own snug with TV,
plenty of reading matter and an ideal place
to put your feet up. This adjoins the large
conservatory, where breakfast is served.
There is also a truly unique garden to take
advantage of, with extensive wildlife, including
an array of resident birds, pheasants and ducks,
to very inquisitive roe deer, plus numerous
places to sit. With its large pond and some
exotic planting, it is tranquillity itself.
