Your Property
Gamekeepers is one of four luxury countryside cottages at Ranmoor Estate, each thoughtfully designed for comfort, style, and relaxation. Step inside to discover a bright, beautifully furnished home that combines rustic charm with modern convenience — a welcoming space equipped with everything you need for a truly effortless stay.
Inside
Two inviting bedrooms (one double and one twin), each with its own en-suite bathroom
Fully equipped modern kitchen with fridge, oven, microwave, all essential cookware, dishwasher and washing machine
Smart TVs in each room and free Wi-Fi throughout
Central heating and fans for year-round comfort
Outside
Enclosed patio with hot tub, barbecue, and outdoor dining area
Stunning countryside views — perfect for al fresco meals or evening drinks under the stars
Families will love the shared children’s play area, and with the coast just 14 miles away, there’s plenty to explore nearby — from sandy beaches to charming Dorset villages and scenic countryside walks.
Location
Our location in Blandford Forum places you in the perfect position to explore Dorset’s most loved destinations. From the Jurassic Coast and Lulworth Cove to Weymouth, Dorchester, Shaftesbury, Salisbury, Bournemouth, and Poole, the very best of the South West is within easy reach. After a day of exploring, return to the calm of the estate, where you can enjoy the stillness of nature and breathtaking views of the countryside.
As you relax, keep an eye out for some of our local wildlife — you may be lucky enough to spot colourful pheasants wandering the grounds, graceful deer grazing in the distance, or owls calling softly at dusk. The estate is also home to hedgehogs, rabbits, and numerous birds of prey, including kestrels and buzzards, often seen gliding silently overhead.
Our neighbouring farms add to the charm of the landscape, with geese, alpacas, cows, and horses completing the picturesque rural scene.
Our remote location means there’s very little light pollution, making Ranmoor Estate the perfect spot for stargazing. On a clear night, the sky comes alive with stars — so why not bring your telescope and enjoy the wonders above from the comfort of your private terrace or hot tub?
With award-winning hospitality, luxurious comfort, and a genuine passion for creating unforgettable experiences, Ranmoor Estate is more than just a place to stay — it’s a place to unwind, reconnect, and make lasting memories.
Come and discover why our guests return year after year, and experience the very best of Dorset, right here at Ranmoor Estate.
