Woodleaves House The South West
in dreamy Dorset
With an air of unfussy elegance, Woodleaves House in Dorset is a memorable venue for your getaway. Sleeping up to 21, this beautifully restored farmhouse is the very essence of country charm. From the Minton tiled hallway to the bold Farrow and Ball colours, you feel immediately at home here.
Relax in Chesterfield sofas before a roaring fire in the lounge, where dual aspect windows frame woodland scenes. Gather for dinner in the grand dining room against a backdrop of rich, red walls and original features. And party the night away, enjoying the huge country kitchen, bar and Amazon sound system. When the party’s over, retire to stylish en-suite rooms or the self-contained 2-bedroom apartment. Spend the next day dipping in the hot tub, playing table tennis, badminton and croquet, and enjoying a laid-back barbecue on the terrace.
Situated in six acres of rolling Dorset countryside, Woodleaves House is a great base for walks, trips to the coast – just 20 miles away – and visiting local attractions.
