Flint is at the heart of the Dorset countryside in the Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, close to traditional, cosy pubs and a 40 minute drive from the Jurassic Coast. You’ll love my place because of the cosiness, the views, the comfy bed, and the outdoor bateau bath. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travellers, and furry friends (pets). If it’s not walking weather, while away the afternoon in the 12m indoor swimming pool and sauna. Flint is one of the two cosy self catering cottages at Launceston Farm, a working organic farm in the idyllic Tarrant Valley on the Dorset/Wiltshire border, just two hours from London. This two storey cottage opposite the main Farmhouse has its own private courtyard with outdoor bateau bath for soaks under the stars. Popular with dog owners, you can step out of the front door onto farm tracks which run for miles across the chalk downlands of the Cranborne Chase, Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The traditional country pub is a five minute walk into the village. Curl up on the sofa in front of the wood burner with a DVD or a good read. If you don’t feel like cooking, order one of Sarah’s two course farmhouse suppers delivered hot to your door or take a 5 minute stroll down to the award winning village pub. Take a trip to the World Heritage Jurassic Coast for a paddle in the ocean and the catch of the day. Enjoy a large slice of British heritage at one of the nearby National Trust and English Heritage Properties including Corfe Castle, Stourhead Gardens and StoneHenge. Nature lovers must visit Monkey World and Abbotsbury Swannery. Shop in independent boutiques for homewares and fashion in the Georgian market towns of Shaftesbury, Salisbury, Sherborne and Wimborne.
