A fantastic play barn for all ages
One of the highlights of staying at Old Oak Barn is the dedicated play barn, located immediately beside the main accommodation.
There's plenty to keep children, teenagers and adults entertained, including:
- A huge 14ft trampoline
- Table tennis
- Badminton
- Basketball hoop
- Darts board
It's a brilliant space for family competitions, energetic afternoons and keeping everyone entertained when the British weather isn't playing along.
With the play barn right beside the accommodation, adults can easily check on the children while enjoying time together nearby. Younger children should always be appropriately supervised.
Space for everyone to stay together
Sleeping up to 16 guests, the barn has four bedrooms, two full-size double sofa beds and additional day beds, offering flexible sleeping arrangements for families and larger groups.
The spacious master bedroom features a king-size bed, private en-suite and an optional single day bed.
The second bedroom has two single beds, while the remaining two bedrooms each have a bunk bed with a full-size double below and single above. One bunk room can also accommodate an additional day bed.
You'll also find a full-size double sofa bed in the main living room and another in the kitchen/dining room.
Alongside the master en-suite, there's a family bathroom with a shower over the bath and an additional separate WC.
A travel cot and high chair are available for families with little ones.
A place to eat, relax and reconnect
At the heart of the barn is the enormous kitchen and dining area, with beautiful exposed beams, a dining table seating 10, additional breakfast-bar seating and plenty of space to prepare meals together.
There's also a Sage Nespresso coffee machine for those slower countryside mornings.
The impressive main living room features a vaulted ceiling, exposed timber beams, comfortable seating and a wood-burning stove, making it a wonderful place for family evenings, games, conversation or simply relaxing after a busy day.
Your own private covered hot tub
After a day exploring the countryside or enjoying the play barn, unwind in the private covered hot tub.
Sheltered from the elements, it's perfect for relaxing whatever the weather, whether that's a crisp winter evening or a summer night beneath the Dorset skies.
42 acres of countryside to explore
What makes Old Oak Barn particularly special is the incredible outdoor space.
Guests can enjoy 42 acres of peaceful Dorset countryside, with mown walking paths, open fields, a meadow and two small woodlands to explore.
Follow the woodland walk to a peaceful viewpoint with seating overlooking the surrounding countryside, enjoy a family walk, or simply let the children enjoy the fresh air and wide-open spaces.
Closer to the barn, there's outdoor seating and a BBQ for relaxed afternoons and summer evenings together.
The property is dog-friendly too, so four-legged family members don't have to miss out. Please note that the grounds aren't securely enclosed.
Peaceful countryside, without being isolated
Old Oak Barn is set on a peaceful, non-working farm with no livestock, surrounded by beautiful countryside and traditional rustic farm buildings.
Despite its secluded setting, you're approximately five minutes from Sturminster Newton and just two minutes by car from Plumber Manor.
There's also extensive private parking for 20+ vehicles, making it easy for everyone to arrive separately.
