Launceston Farm is set on a beautiful working organic farm on the Dorset/Wiltshire border, within easy reach of the A303 and M3 and 40 minutes from the stunning Jurassic Coast beaches and water sports - a great choice for an active holiday, or for a special occasion weekend.

The Farmhouse has 6 en suite double bedrooms; all with stunning views over the gardens and rolling Dorset countryside. The kitchen is the perfect place to congregate for breakfast whilst the dining room easily seats 16 with doors out onto the sun terrace and BBQ area. Head to the family room to relax, with a huge corner sofa and buddabags, plenty of toys and books, and a selection of DVDs.
