Katie’s place is located in Fontmell Magna, North Dorset, England, United Kingdom. The village gastro-pub (2mins walk) serves excellent food from lunchtime and in to the evening. If you prefer to stay in and cozy down for the evening, the local independent shop (5 mins walk) sells groceries and a small selection of wines and spirits. Venturing out: you can walk footpaths around the local fields from your front door, but drive for under 10 mins and you can walk on the rolling hills, explore the wide open spaces of National Trust protected countryside and, on a clear day, enjoy uninterrupted views all the way to Wales. About half an hour away and you’ll be wandering deep in the beautiful New Forest or Cranborne Chase AONB. Or perhaps cycling the Dorset Trailway, visiting National Trust and English Heritage properties including Stourhead and the renowned Kingston Lacy. 15 minutes drive would allow you to explore and shop the quaint and well preserved market towns of Shaftesbury, Blandford Forum and Sturminster Newton. 40 - 45 minutes further away and you can enjoy Poole, Bournemouth and Salisbury, with the Isle of Purbeck being about 45 minutes drive away.

The "Annex" is a conversion of one of a small group of stone barns that make up Willow Barn. It has the prime view of the manicured lawn, carefully tended flowerbeds and pool, with it's longest side and two upstairs dormers facing exactly south. Once partly an artist's studio, the open plan downstairs is wonderfully light and airy, and its peaceful location on a no through road make it ideal for a relaxing getaway or a place to come and be inspired by the local Dorset history and landscapes.

The Annex was intended and kitted-out to be entirely self-contained. The kitchen has a full compliment of crockery, cutlery, pots and utensils and also a dishwasher and washing machine. Although the annex shares the property with the main house, you get the prime view of the garden, and with only a few small windows (with blinds of course) facing back towards the main property you can enjoy a great deal of privacy during your stay. The downstairs is large and open and a great place to relax. It is worth noting that the two bedrooms are in the dormer roof of the property and do have some limited headroom when you are climbing into bed. There is a dryer in the main property garage which guests may use during their stay though you will need to let us know so we can open the doors. There is also a sheila's maid in the pool room which is always warm. We try to be as plastic-free as possible in the consumables we offer for your stay. For instance, there will be a lovely natural soap bar in the bathroom and a bottle of milk in glass (handily available in the local independent supermarket) in the fridge awaiting you on your arrival to get you started. Please note that the pool is open May through to September only.
