Sturthill Stable is a lovely barn conversion on a working farm in the most beautiful Dorset countryside, just a few miles inland from The Jurassic Coast (please note that dairy operations will cease at the farm on 24 March 2025).
Throw open the patio doors and let the sunshine in.
There is plenty of space for everyone.
Relax in the main bedroom with sumptuous super-king bed, that can also be split in to two full size singles.
Soak up the sun.
Looking back towards the kitchen.
Cosy up during out of season breaks.
The playroom has lots of toys and books to keep children entertained.
And table football!
The kitchen/dining-room is a very sociable space for all the family.
Holiday meals around the table.
The view from your sunny patio. The farm buildings are visible here on the right hand side.
The unique farm setting will make for a memorable holiday. The livestock barns are opposite the cottage.

Head upstairs from the sitting-room.
The hallway is bright and spacious, with a stair gate for your peace of mind.

And relax...
Upstairs you will find the family bathroom.
Another twin room with views across the farmyard.
Plenty of space for your holiday clothes.
Calming tones in the main bedroom will help you to switch off.
Peeking through to the en-suite shower room.
The en-suite shower room is modern and bright.
Up a few steps from the patio is a private lawned area for your use. (Please note it is not enclosed).
The rear of Sturthill Stable where you will park up and walk across the bridge that runs over a little stream, idyllic!
The sound of water is so soothing.
The tennis court is a real bonus.
The dairy herd will become a familiar sight (dairy operations are due to cease at the farm from 24 March 2025)
The thriving town of Bridport is a short distance away. Be sure to visit on market day.
Climb to the top of Colmer's Hill - we promise the view is worth it!
Sandy beaches stretch out at Lyme Regis.

A well situated and equipped cottage in a peaceful setting yet with easy access to loads of great beaches and activities. It was well set up for a toddler to roam and seeing the cows every day was a highlight!

The house is generally well presented, well equipped and comfortable. Unfortunately, we feel it is spoilt by the ‘country smells’, numerous flies and lack of a usable internet connection.

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts on Sturthill Stable. This beautiful barn conversion is in the heart of a working dairy farm so at times there may be some "country smells". As mentioned, the broadband is suitable for emails and web browsing. We hope you enjoyed exploring all the area has to offer. Kelsey, Customer Support...

Large comfortable accommodation for families but as a couple, we enjoyed the peace and quiet of a good base from which to explore Dorset.

Sturthill Stable is a wonderful place to stay particularly for families with young children who will enjoy staying on a working diary farm and being able to watch the cows, milk lorry and farm vehicles moving around. It is in a beautiful situation close to various beaches but in the countryside. It very clean and well equipped - everything was provided and the host and husband were close at hand if we had any queries. We , all 3 generations of us, had a memorable holiday and highly recommend Sturthill Stable. ...
