Who doesn’t love a hideaway amidst the grapevines? This cosy little lodge sits in the grounds of a vineyard, so you can spend evenings sampling the local sparkling wine in the bubbling warmth of the hot tub outside. There’s also a bistro set for two out here, should you wish to take your dinner in the open air. Inside, your hideaway has a tufted velvet sofa for a spot of luxury, and a kitchen equipped with everything you need for self-catering. Big windows show off a view of rural Dorset at its best, surrounded by greenery. You’re on the edge of the Cranborne Chase AONB, a five-minute drive from the charming town of Blandford Forum where a handful of shops, cafés and restaurants await. Golfers will love the proximity to Ashley Wood golf course and if you’re packing the bike, you can hit the North Dorset Trailway.

About Blandford Forum
Sixty-five years after the Great Fire of London wreaked havoc on the capital, the sleepy Dorset town of Blandford Forum was also the victim of a catastrophic inferno that burnt down the vast majority of the wooden, thatched dwellings.
