Woodley

Woodley is a country house behind a private gate on a quiet lane, 3.5 miles from Wimborne Minster. It sleeps 16 in eight bedrooms, six doubles and two twins, and more guests can be accommodated on Z-beds if you ask at the time of booking.

The kitchen, dining area and lounge are one open-plan space, with a kitchen island and an exposed beam dividing off the dining table. A pantry holds a commercial fridge and leads to a second, smaller kitchen. The main kitchen has an oven, a hob, a fridge/freezer, a dishwasher, a coffee machine and a washing machine. There are two lounges, both with comfortable seating and a Smart TV.

Two bedrooms are on the ground floor, a double with an en-suite shower room and a twin, and a separate shower room and WC sit alongside. The first floor has two doubles and a twin, plus a shower room and a bathroom, and the remaining bedrooms on the second floor are all doubles.

The heated indoor swimming pool is on the ground floor, in a pool house with seating and a table tennis table; pool towels are not provided. Outside are a patio, a lawn and a further 7 acres of gardens, with woodland around the enclosed garden. A high chair and cot are available upon request. Private off-road parking is for six cars, and one camera at the driveway entrance is CCTV. Two dogs are allowed, and additional charges may apply. A pub and a shop are 1 mile away. The house suits a large family gathering or a group of friends sharing a pool.
