Fern

Dorchester, Dorset

Located in Dorchester, Dorset, this exceptional eco retreat named Fern is one of three unique accommodations built in 2020, alongside Bracken and Bramble. Each property is designed to the highest standards, offering stunning views of the surrounding countryside, including Bulbarrow and The Blackmore Vale. Fern is a detached, three-bedroom retreat nestled on a working farm, providing guests with a serene escape into North Dorset’s rural beauty, complete with a luxurious wood-fired hot tub for relaxation.

The interior of Fern features a single-storey, open-plan layout that is both light and spacious, enhanced by cozy under-floor heating powered by an eco-friendly ground source heat pump. The modern kitchen is fully equipped for preparing meals with fresh, local ingredients, allowing guests to enjoy dining by the warmth of the wood-burning stove. The bi-folding doors open to a terrace and garden area, ideal for soaking up the sun while enjoying the picturesque views that surround the property.

Accommodating up to six guests, Fern includes three well-appointed bedrooms—two with king-size beds and one with twin single beds—each with its own en-suite shower room. This makes it a perfect choice for families or groups of friends looking to experience a memorable getaway in Dorset. The property is conveniently located near the Wessex Ridgeway, providing endless walking opportunities, and is a short stroll or drive from the village of Ansty, where guests can find a charming farm shop, post office, and a local pub.

For those interested in booking, Fern’s neighboring properties, Bracken and Bramble, are also available, allowing for larger group accommodations. Additional amenities include a travel cot and highchair upon request, though pets are not permitted. Guests can enjoy their private wood-fired hot tub, with logs provided for use, but are advised to follow safety instructions carefully. Internet access is available for recreational use, though not guaranteed for business purposes, and guests should be aware of potential service variability.
