Ansty, Dorchester, Dorset

Located in Ansty, Dorchester, Dorset, the Eco Retreats at Ansty offer a unique getaway experience in the picturesque South West of England. This splendid collection of three eco-friendly accommodations is perfect for extended families or groups of friends looking to celebrate special occasions while enjoying the privacy of individual dwellings. With a total capacity of 16 guests across eight bedrooms, the retreats feature six king-size bedrooms and two twin bedrooms, each equipped with its own en-suite bathroom. The properties are set against the stunning backdrop of Bulbarrow and The Blackmore Vale, and each includes a luxurious wood-fired hot tub for ultimate relaxation.

The retreats, named Bracken, Fern, and Bramble, are situated on a working farm with direct access to the Wessex Ridgeway, offering endless opportunities for walking and exploring the beautiful North Dorset countryside. Ansty village is a short 15-minute walk or a 3-minute drive away, where guests can find a charming farm shop, a post office, and a local pub. Each eco retreat is designed for comfort and sustainability, featuring single-storey, open-plan layouts with underfloor heating powered by a ground-source heat pump, cozy wood-burning stoves, and spacious living areas that enhance the overall experience.

Bracken and Fern each accommodate six guests, featuring an open-plan kitchen, dining, and sitting room with generous seating and bi-fold doors opening onto a terrace. Each has three bedrooms, two of which are king-size, and the third is a twin room, all with en-suite shower rooms. Bramble, accommodating four guests, also boasts an open-plan design but features a unique en-suite bathroom with a copper freestanding bath in addition to its two king-size bedrooms. All properties come with essential amenities including fully equipped kitchens, utility rooms, and outdoor spaces with far-reaching rural views.

Guests at the Eco Retreats can enjoy their own private terrace and garden, complete with a wood-fired hot tub and barbecue facilities during the summer months. Additional amenities include parking for up to eight cars, and travel cots and highchairs available upon request. The retreats are pet-free and not suitable for stag parties, although hen parties are welcome. While internet access is provided for recreational purposes, it is not intended for business use.
