Middleton Barn

Middleton Barn is part of a small working sheep farm at Milton Abbas in north Dorset, with Winterborne Stickland nearby. It sleeps five across three bedrooms: a king-size, a double and a single. An extra pull-out single is available on request, though the barn is booked for five. The owner can arrange stabling for several horses.

The open-plan kitchen and dining room has an electric oven and hob, a fridge/freezer, a dishwasher, an air fryer, a microwave and a washer/dryer. A double bedroom on the ground floor has a wet room beside it. The lounge has a wood burner (the first basket of logs is included), a Smart TV and a DVD player, and a small desk space sits under the stairs. The other bedrooms are upstairs off a mezzanine, and the single has its own entrance and connects to the king-size room.

A generous decked area, reached by steps, has a hot tub, garden furniture and a charcoal BBQ. There is ample off-road parking in front of it, and bike storage is available on request. The beach is 14 miles away, the nearest shop is 2 miles and a pub is within walking distance.

Up to two dogs are allowed, with additional charges that may apply. The barn suits a family or group of five, or riders who want stabling at the farm.
