Bakers Barn - Sherborne, Dorset sleeps 2 guests in 1 bedroom
Tucked away in the pretty village of Stoford, Bakers Barn is a charming, bijou retreat for two, an ideal choice for a peaceful getaway or a comfortable base from which to explore the best of Dorset and Somerset. With underfloor heating throughout, thoughtful touches, a private courtyard, and off‑road parking, it offers everything needed for a relaxing and memorable stay.
Sliding glazed doors welcome you into the light-filled open‑plan living space, seamlessly connecting indoors and out, perfect for sunny days. Exposed beams and a high ceiling create a sense of character, while the large sofa, coffee table, sideboard and television provide a cosy spot to unwind. The well-equipped kitchen features a dishwasher, fridge, freezer, electric oven and hob, and includes everything you need to prepare delicious meals during your stay. Beyond the sliding barn doors lies the stylish bedroom, complete with a beautifully dressed king‑size bed, dressing table, hanging space and more exposed beams. The bright en‑suite shower room is well appointed and includes a heated towel rail for added comfort.
A gentle stroll around the village, perhaps with a stop at the Royal Oak — is highly recommended. For those keen to explore further, the surrounding area offers an abundance of attractions. Enjoy peaceful walks at Sutton Bingham Reservoir, with its hay meadows, woodland and opportunities to spot wildflowers and butterflies. Nearby National Trust properties including Montacute House, Lytes Cary, and Barrington Court are well worth a visit. The historic town of Sherborne, with its Abbey and two castles, along with Minterne Gardens and Cerne Abbas, offer wonderful days out. A little farther afield lie Glastonbury and the world‑famous Somerset Levels, a must for birdwatchers!
Whatever the season and whatever brings you here, Bakers Barn promises comfort, tranquillity and a truly restful escape.
