Sturthill Stable is a lovely barn conversion on a working dairy farm in the most beautiful Dorset countryside, just a few miles inland from The Jurassic Coast.
The kitchen/dining-room is a very sociable space for all the family.
The patio is a relaxing place for everyone to gather.
The spacious sitting-room has plenty of comfortable seating. Windows all along one wall face the farm - a great viewing gallery.
The kitchen/dining-room has French doors to the patio where you can watch the daily comings and goings of farm life.
The master bedroom - with 'zip and link' beds - set up here as a super-king size bed, but it can be made up as twin beds if you prefer.
Guests young and old can enjoy this '4 in one' games-table; table-football, mini-pool, table-tennis and air hockey.
Stairs to the first floor and the door through to the ground floor shower-room with the kitchen/dining-room beyond.
This fabulous tennis court is a real bonus for the energetic. There is plenty of outside space, offering a farm setting that children will be sure to remember. Do please supervise children at all times.
The dairy herd will become a familiar sight.
Bridport is just a few miles away - a lovely bustling market town with plenty of independent shops and cafes as well as two markets a week.
West Bay just outside Bridport is only six miles away, this is the pretty harbour. Yet another great cafe here....The Watchhouse Cafe, right on the beach.
Nearby Seatown, with Golden Cap in the background and the award-winning Anchor Inn in the foreground.
Lyme Regis is a fabulous place to visit, so much to see and do all year round.
The Hive Beach Cafe at Burton Bradstock, serving locally caught seafood and delicious cakes.

The en suite for the master bedroom.
Another view of the barn which has a little bridge across a stream to the front door.
This is the second twin room at the top of the stairs, where you can watch the cows across the yard.
The other twin room also with views over the farm buildings and the fields beyond.
The family bathroom is on the first floor and there is an additional shower-room and separate WC downstairs.
A stair-gate keeps your little ones safe.
The perfect place to relax, with the tennis court in the background.
This is the view towards the coast from the top of the lane leading to Sturthill Stable.

Probably the best equiped cottage we have ever stayed in. Very clean and spacious and excellent power showers. Located in a very rural place with only the now and then noise from the farm. Not really feasible to sit outside due to the farmyard smell....

An intersting spacious barn conversion which although is secluded, it is still relatively close to town (Bridport). Intersting to see the working farm in action next door and with plent of garden area and useful tennis courts. A very pleasant part of the contry....

Dr Herman September 2022
A well situated and equipped cottage in a peaceful setting yet with easy access to loads of great beaches and activities. It was well set up for a toddler to roam and seeing the cows every day was a highlight!
