About this farm stay rental
Escape to a stylishly renovated stable on the beautiful Downwood Vineyard. This idyllic country retreat for two blends rustic charm with modern comforts, including a king-size bed, Smart TV and WiFi. Enjoy private access, explore 40 acres of woodland, spot local wildlife and experience incredible stargazing — all while staying close to local pubs, attractions and the Dorset coast.
Discover a bright and welcoming open-plan studio inside this historic brick and flint stable, thoughtfully designed for comfort and relaxation.
The cosy living area features a plush blue velvet sofa and Smart TV, while the sleeping area offers a comfortable king-size bed with crisp linens. A fully equipped kitchen provides everything you need to prepare meals during your stay.
The building’s fascinating past is reflected in its original exposed beams, unique old floors and historic horse tie-up points in the walls.
Key amenities include:
• King-size bed
• Fully equipped kitchen
• Smart TV
• WiFi
• Dog friendly
• Private entrance
• On-site parking
• Access to 40 acres of woodland
Guests have private and exclusive access to the entire studio apartment. You are also welcome to explore the shared woodland and enjoy the life-size chess set and ping pong table.
We respect our guests’ privacy and aim to provide a peaceful stay. We live on the grounds but will only interact if assistance is needed, and we are always available by phone or message.
Ashley Wood Golf Club is just a few minutes away, while Monkey World, The Tank Museum, Shaftesbury, Poole and Wimborne are all within easy reach.
Blandford Forum is around 2 miles away, with local buses and taxis available. As this is a rural retreat, having a car is recommended.
Please note that mobile phone signal can be intermittent due to the countryside location, but WiFi is available inside the property.
Pets are not allowed on furnitures

The Stable was as expected, the pictures represent the property perfectly. We had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend and return.
The Stable is on a site with quite a few other holiday lets, all qwerky and luxurious in their own right. Grounds were nice and we walked through the woods to the Clubhouse of the neighbouring golf club.
Recommations from us, flip the lounge and the bedroom and then you have an ensuite. Swap the double (mattress was amazing) for a king, there's plenty of room.
I wasn't expecting hot tub but husband saw on some documentation it had a hot tub, suggest that gets removed to avoid confusion.
Apart from that very enjoyable stay, thank you.

The property is on an estate away from the main road and with very little artificial light. At night it is very dark and lovely and quiet. There are a number of properties on the site. each is self contained with an allocated parking space.
Very good pre-arrival information 48 hours in advance.
Did drive past the entrance on first attempt. Location information could be improved to include the What 3 Words location - ///ruin.thirsty.nicer
Further contact was received once we had checked-in using the tablet device just inside the front door. The Stable is a converted 3 stall stable and matches the listing description. The original brick floors have been retained and they do slope to a drain point (filled in) in each stall. There is plenty of space for 2 adults and a medium sized dog. Towels provided were large and soft. The mattress was not ideal for us (personal preference) but the bedding and bed linen was luxurious. The kitchen is well equipped and fully functional. There is a dining table with 2 chairs. The lounge area was comfy. The bathroom is up 2 steps. No bath, but shower enclosure is spacious.
We had a lovely stay and really enjoyed the property.
