The Old Stables

The Old Stables is a welcoming, single-storey retreat set within a charming farm courtyard development in the peaceful Dorset village of Winterborne Stickland. Once part of a traditional working stable, the property now offers comfortable, well-planned accommodation that suits families, friends or couples looking for a quieter corner of the county to explore. Inside, the open-plan living area forms the heart of the cottage, bringing together a well-equipped kitchen, a sociable dining space and a relaxed sitting area. A woodburning stove adds a touch of warmth and character, making this an inviting place to unwind after a day outdoors, whether you’ve been walking the Dorset countryside or exploring the coast. The accommodation is all on one level and thoughtfully arranged, with three bedrooms comprising a king-size double with en-suite shower room and two twin rooms, served by a family bathroom with bath and a shower over. Outside, guests can enjoy an enclosed, private garden with a lawned area, patio and picnic bench, ideal for relaxed meals or a morning coffee in the fresh air. Practical touches include an EV charger and secure bike storage, making the property a good base for cyclists and eco-conscious travellers alike. Shared lawns and access to a games room within the courtyard add to the appeal, particularly for families. Winterborne Stickland sits amid unspoilt Dorset countryside, with easy access to walking and cycling routes along the River Stour. The historic market town of Blandford Forum is close by, offering independent shops, eateries and Georgian architecture, while Dorchester provides museums, galleries and links to Thomas Hardy’s literary landscape. A little further afield, the Jurassic Coast opens up dramatic scenery, beaches and coastal paths, making The Old Stables a well-placed base for exploring both countryside and coast. Note: This property is in a courtyard with Refs. 19285, 905895, 905896, 905897 and 905898, together they sleep 28.
