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.

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 30 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, cycling and just relaxing, 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 giving access to market towns, New Forest and the stunning Jurassic Coast.

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 with direct forest access. Relax on the deck and watch the many birds including pairs of buzzards who nest in the trees on the edge of the forest. Not forgetting a cheeky cat and very old tortoise!
