Lovely 5 Bed home in Blandford Forum, England
We are located on the edge of Child Okeford (North Dorset) overlooking open countryside and occupying an idyllic position under the spectacular Hambledon Hill. This quiet corner of the North Dorset countryside contains all you need to keep you occupied for your stay. The village has two public houses one of which is only a few minutes walk away. The Organic Farm Shop is also a few minutes walk away and has an interior design shop and delicous cafe on site. The walks up Hambledon Hill and the surrounding countryside are spectacular.
