The Shooting Lodge

Set in the peaceful Dorset village of Sixpenny Handley, this eight-bedroom home offers a relaxed, rural retreat. Enjoy country walks from your door, explore the New Forest National Park, or head to Bournemouth for a traditional beach day. When you’re not busy discovering Dorset and beyond, you’ll find plenty of space here to make yourself comfortable – it’s an ideal place for a group getaway or family get together. We love the cosy lounge (especially when the fire is lit on a chilly evening) and the little luxury of having a roll top bath in two of the bedrooms. There’s a large garden too, great for making the most of the English sunshine when it appears, and perfect for four-legged friends.

Home truths:
*The two bedrooms on the second floor each have a freestanding roll top bath in the room, as well as a separate en-suite cloakroom.
*Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.
*There's free parking for up to seven cars on the driveway.
*Although this home can sleep up to sixteen guests, there's only space around the dining table for twelve people. However, there's a pub next door that serves food.
*Your host will provide a starter pack of fuel and logs for the open fire.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot, stair gate, and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
