Launceston Farm is a beautiful working organic farm sleeping 16 on the Dorset/Wiltshire border, within easy reach of the A303 and M3. The accommodation comprises a stunning Georgian farmhouse and two cottages sleeping 2 each, with exclusive use of a stunning 12m indoor swimming pool and sauna. Jurassic Coast beaches and water sports are within a 40 minute drive.

The Farmhouse has 6 en suite double bedrooms; all with stunning views over the farmhouse gardens and rolling Dorset countryside. The Farmhouse 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. The family room is a fantastic space to relax, with a huge corner sofa and buddabags, plenty of toys and books to entertain little ones, a Wii with games and selection of DVDs for chill out time. The sitting room is a refuge for grownups with its open fire place and plenty of comfy seating.

Enjoy croquet and rounders on the lawn and send the children off to explore the play orchard with its willow Tipi. There is also a dedicated toddler area with sandpit and mud kitchen. Enjoy the space; play, hide, run and soak up the countryside. For rainy days, the indoor swimming pool will provide hours of entertainment for children of all ages.

The Bothy, a cosy apartment attached to the farmhouse, is on one floor whilst Flint, in a converted stable overlooking the renovated Victorian farmyard gardens, is on two. Both cottages have a kitchen, sitting/dining area with flat screen TV and wood burner and a super king bedroom (also available as a twin). Flint and The Bothy also each have their own private outdoor courtyard with bateau bath "hot tub".

Launceston Farm is perfect for families and large groups as it can accommodate 16 people plus infants, but there is also the handy option for couples to "get away" from the crowd in the farmhouse and take refuge in their own self-contained accommodation.

All properties are dog friendly.
