About this apartment rental
Situated in a beautiful and rural area of North Dorset on a working farm, with extensive views of Bulbarrow and The Blackmore Vale, Bracken is one of three unique, detached eco retreats, constructed to an exceptionally high standard in 2020.
The light and spacious, open-plan accommodation is all on the ground floor with cosy under-floor heating throughout, courtesy of the ground source heat pump. If the weather isn't kind, snuggle up around the wood burning stove. When night draws in, open the bi-folding doors and star-gaze in your very own wood fired hot tub. The kitchen is the perfect place to cook up some locally sourced ingredients whilst admiring the view.
Sleeping up to six guests in three bedrooms (two with king-size beds and a third with twin single beds), each with their own en-suite shower room, Bracken is an ideal choice for a wonderful Dorset break with family or friends.
Outside, the terrace and garden enjoy breath-taking, far-reaching rural views, not to mention the decadent hot tub.
Additional Information:
Travel cot and highchair available on request.
Sorry, no pets.
You will have use of your own private wood fired hot tub with logs provided. Please read full instructions on the operation and safety of the hot tub which can be found in the house folder. Please do not use detergents or toiletries in the hot tub. Please supervise children at all times around the hot tub when the cover is off and be aware that the firebox will be hot when lit and the water can also get very hot without supervision.
Please note that internet access is offered at this property for recreational purposes only and is not meant for business use. The speed/service may vary from time to time. Should guests experience difficulties or loss of use, neither the owner nor the Dorset Hideaways will be held responsible.
Arrival time at this property is strictly 4pm.

Three modern eco properties in a semi isolated location, with amazing views. Tucked away at the end in a country lane, with access to a local pub and shop a mile away. Properties are well equipped and kitchen is particularly well appointed with granite work tops and a Neff oven and hob. All three bedrooms are on the smaller side (but still adequate) but this does allow for generous living accommodation, and all three bedrooms have en-suites. The log burner was also a welcome addition.
The wood fired hot tub is excellent, it takes a while to heat up, but once hot enough we spent hours in there. The owners have a large supply of logs, so we didn’t run out. There is very little light pollution so if you get clear skies it is good to sit in the tub and star gaze. The view from the ample garden is breathtaking.
Access to the excellent local pub is a mile away down a quiet country lane with a short cut across fields at the end. We went in November and the lane was muddy and flooded in places, but still passable, so take wellies! The local shop is well stocked and the frozen curries they sold were particularly good.
We think these properties are excellent value and we were surprised with the quality and views.

The Bracken was modern, comfortable and clean and an ideal place for a getaway with friends.
The view was fantastic!
The Fox inn is a lovely pub with good food, so a meal or two recommended.
It is quite rural so you do need to drive to get anyway but as long as you know that, it isn’t really a problem. Many good locations are only 30 mins drive away.
I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Just returned from our first stay at this property - and will definitely be returning! The views were amazing, very peaceful, great base to explore the surrounding areas, and the owners have done a great job in the design and layout of the properties as well as thinking of everything you need within the house to enjoy your holiday. Hot tub was an added bonus. Great local pub for food within short walk across the fields too.

The lodge was as described and had everything we needed. It was located in such a peaceful location, the only noise being that of the cows in the field. Lovely break.
