Fern

Dorchester, Dorset

Based in Dorchester, Dorset, in the picturesque South West of England, Fern is one of three distinct eco retreats, including its counterparts Bracken and Bramble. Constructed in 2020, these properties are designed to the highest standards, offering guests luxurious accommodations amidst the stunning landscapes of the Cranborne Chase & West Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. With the ability to host up to six guests, Fern features a decadent wood-fired hot tub and provides expansive views of Bulbarrow and The Blackmore Vale, ensuring a serene and tranquil escape in North Dorset's rural setting.

Fern is a single-storey, open-plan retreat that is both spacious and bright, enhanced by cozy under-floor heating powered by an eco-friendly ground source heat pump. The modern kitchen is well-equipped for preparing meals with fresh, local ingredients, allowing guests to enjoy culinary delights before gathering around the inviting wood-burning stove. The bi-folding doors open up to a terrace and garden area, where visitors can unwind in the hot tub or bask in the sunshine while taking in the breathtaking scenery that surrounds them.

The property accommodates six guests across three thoughtfully designed bedrooms, two of which feature king-size beds, while the third offers twin single beds. Each bedroom is complete with its own en-suite shower room, making it an ideal choice for families or groups of friends seeking a memorable getaway in Dorset. The location also provides easy access to the Wessex Ridgeway, presenting numerous walking opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts. For a taste of local life, guests can stroll to the nearby village of Ansty, which is approximately a 15-minute walk away or a quick 3-minute drive, where they can find a charming farm shop, post office, and a welcoming local pub.

In addition to Fern, the neighboring properties Bracken and Bramble are also available for booking, accommodating six and four guests, respectively. This flexibility allows for the possibility of larger groups to enjoy a collective retreat experience at Dorset Eco Retreats, subject to availability. The combination of luxury, eco-friendly design, and the stunning natural landscape makes Fern and its neighboring retreats a perfect choice for those looking to immerse themselves in the beauty of Dorset while enjoying modern comforts and amenities.
