Incorporating Tallet Barns East and West, two timber clad, high specification barn conversions with an interconnecting door providing space for all the family, The Tallet Barn is an ideal choice for an extended family or two families holidaying together, each with their own private facilities, use of the all-weather sports barn and enjoying spectacular views across the Blackmore Vale.



The views are simply breath-taking from this delightful setting atop a deserted medieval village, now a Scheduled Monument, and reach for many miles across the Blackmore Vale. Inside both barns is equally as impressive, with stylish and contemporary accommodation including light and airy double height open-plan living areas with sliding glazed doors to make the very most of those breath-taking views. Highly insulated double doors between each of the semi-detached properties allow the ground floor space to be combined when the doors are unlocked and left open. Upstairs on the first floors, the king-size bedrooms enjoys a balcony window, where you can take in the vista and fresh air for the perfect start to any day, or stargaze before bedtime. The pretty twin bedrooms also enjoys extensive rural views. The main family shower rooms are located downstairs, however there are useful cloakrooms located on the first floors.



Located at the end of a farm track to Darknoll Farm, the barns are within walking distance of Okeford Fitzpaine village centre with its village shop, church and pub. Just three miles away is the popular market town of Sturminster Newton with its shops, cafes, mill and museum, and there are numerous quaint Dorset villages within easy reach. From the front doors are opportunities for enjoyable walks across the surrounding fields and footpaths, and with the Wessex Ridgeway on your doorstep, you are spoilt for choice. Hambledon Hill Iron Age Hill Fort and its neighbour Hod Hill are definitely worth a visit and afford outstanding views across three counties.



Guests are invited to play tennis, badminton, volleyball or football on-site by booking some time at the neighbouring private all-weather sports barn. For those wishing to explore further afield, the Jurassic Coast is within easy reach, with the iconic Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove being particular favourites.



For smaller groups, each of the two barns is also available to book individually: Tallet Barn East (sleeps four guests); and Tallet Barn West (sleeps four guests).
