Located in Beaminster, Dorset, Stapleford Farm offers three individual cottages that are ideally suited for large families or groups looking to celebrate special occasions or enjoy a holiday together. The largest of these accommodations, Drackenorth Lodge, features a magnificent dining hall that can seat up to twenty guests, making it perfect for entertaining. This cottage boasts a well-equipped kitchen, ensuring that guests have all necessary amenities for catering events. Additionally, Drackenorth Lodge includes four en-suite bedrooms that can comfortably host eight guests, with two double bedrooms on the ground floor and a double and twin bedroom on the first floor, accessible via a stunning staircase adorned with a spectacular chandelier.
Bower Cottage, another inviting option, can also accommodate eight guests and is designed with a spacious open-plan sitting, kitchen, and dining area on the ground floor. This cottage features two en-suite double bedrooms and a twin bedroom, along with a shared family bathroom, ensuring comfort and convenience for all guests. The layout is particularly family-friendly, allowing for easy movement and interaction among guests in a relaxed setting.
The smallest of the three, Tothery Cottage, provides a cozy retreat for four guests. This cottage is entirely located on the ground floor and includes an open-plan kitchen and dining area, as well as one double and one twin bedroom, complemented by a stylish family bath and shower room. Each cottage has its own individual garden area, yet they are close enough to foster a communal atmosphere when occupied together, making them ideal for larger gatherings.
Guests can enjoy a shared courtyard area between the cottages, perfect for alfresco dining or family celebrations, along with ample on-site parking. Additional amenities include cots and highchairs upon request, zip-and-link twin beds for flexible sleeping arrangements, and the option to bring a well-behaved dog to Bower Cottage for a small additional charge. For those needing extra services, stables can be arranged, and the ground floor dining room can be set up as a meeting room if desired. Private catering can also be organized, ensuring a tailored experience for guests. However, it is important to note that internet speed and service may vary, and the owner cannot be held responsible for any inconveniences related to this service.
