Romantic bolthole for two with indoor swimming pool and sauna in Dorset

This beautifully appointed cottage is on two floors, with open plan sitting/dining room with log burner and access to a private outdoor courtyard and bateau bath for two. In the eaves, the super king double bedroom with ensuite shower has views across the surrounding countryside. Located at the heart of the rolling downlands of the Cranborne Chase, we are an ideal base from which to explore the stunning unspoilt beauty of rural Dorset as well as easy access to the breathtaking Jurrassic Coast and South West Coast Path. Flint is dog friendly and we can happily accommodate one infant aged 0-2.

Flint is one of three self-catering properties at Launceston Farm. On site, guests have shared access to the 12m biomass heated indoor swimming pool and sauna and Victorian farm courtyard garden. Each property on site has at least three pre allocated slots in the pool. It is open from 7am-8pm. The award-winning village pub specialising in locally sourced food, beer and cider is a stone's throw from the farm. Walks from the farm gate will take you across the Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty across footpaths and bridleways so don't forget walking boots and wellies. If you don't want to go out to eat, the kitchen is well equipped or you can order two-course rustic, farmhouse suppers and farm-sourced breakfasts from Sarah (minimum 48 hours notice).

National Trust properties nearby include Kingston Lacy Estate and Gardens, Badbury Rings, Brownsea Island, Stourhead House & Gardens, Corfe Castle and Studland Bay Nature Reserve. Don't leave without a visit to Monkey World - the world famous ape rescue centre - and the next door Bovington Tank Museum. Explore Poole Harbour - by boat, paddleboard or kayak - or relax on the golden sandy beaches at Sandbanks and Bournemouth. Fish, forage and explore the Jurrasic Coast from Studland Bay, Weymouth or Swanage.
