Located in the picturesque region of Dorchester, Dorset, the Eco Retreats at Ansty offer a remarkable getaway for groups, accommodating up to 16 guests across three unique eco-friendly retreats. Nestled in the stunning North Dorset countryside, these retreats provide breathtaking views of Bulbarrow and The Blackmore Vale, making them an ideal setting for families or friends celebrating special occasions. Each of the eight bedrooms features its own en-suite bathroom, comprising six king-size beds and two twin bedrooms with 3' single beds, ensuring comfort and privacy for all guests.
The Eco Retreats consist of three single-storey, open-plan accommodations: Bracken and Fern, each capable of hosting six guests, and Bramble, which accommodates an additional four. Each retreat is equipped with modern amenities, including underfloor heating powered by a ground source heat pump, a cozy wood-burning stove, and a luxurious wood-fired hot tub. Guests can unwind in their private hot tubs, with logs provided for their use, while enjoying the serene surroundings of the working farm where the retreats are located.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to the Wessex Ridgeway, offering endless walking opportunities right at the doorstep. A pleasant 15-minute stroll or a quick 3-minute drive leads guests to the nearby village of Ansty, where they can explore a charming farm shop, a post office, and a local pub, enhancing the overall experience of the retreat. The natural beauty of the area makes it a perfect destination for those looking to connect with nature and enjoy outdoor activities.
Guests should note that each eco retreat can be booked individually, allowing for flexibility in accommodation arrangements. Families with young children will find travel cots and highchairs available upon request, while the property maintains a no-pets policy to ensure a clean and comfortable environment. Internet access is provided for recreational purposes only, with a disclaimer regarding potential service variability. Additionally, while hen parties are welcome, the property is not suitable for stag parties, ensuring a peaceful retreat for all visitors.
