Dorset Eco Retreats - A collection of three unique eco retreats

A splendid collection of three unique eco retreats situated in rural and beautiful North Dorset, each enjoying a wood fired hot tub and enviable views of Bulbarrow and The Blackmore Vale. Perfect for extended families or group of friends to celebrate a special occasion together, whilst allowing privacy and the comfort of individual dwellings. Each of the eight bedrooms has its own en-suite and comprise of six king-size bedrooms and two twin bedrooms with 3' single beds.

Located on a working farm with the Wessex Ridgeway on the doorstep, Eco Retreats at Ansty comprise of Bracken and Fern, both accommodating six guests; and Bramble with accommodation for a further four guests. Each of these stunning retreats is single-storey and open-plan with a ground source heat pump providing underfloor heating throughout, a decadent wood fired hot tub, and a cosy wood burning stove, amongst many other superb features.

With the Wessex Ridgeway on your doorstep, walking opportunities are endless. If you feel inclined, wander into the village of Ansty via a quiet lane and across a bridleway, where you will find a charming farm shop, post office and good local pub. Ansty can be reached in around 15 minutes on foot, otherwise in around 3 minutes by car.
