For Families
The barn works for families with older children who appreciate countryside walks and exploring outdoors. The surrounding fields and farmland offer space to run around. Blandford Forum has parks and play areas 3 miles away. Younger children might find the rural location too quiet. There are no specific play facilities at the barn itself but the Jurassic Coast beaches are 30 minutes away.
Groups Will Love...
The exposed timber beams across the ceilings are the standout feature of this barn conversion. Original to the agricultural building, they span the full width of the living spaces and bedrooms. Combined with the thick stone walls, they create an authentic barn atmosphere. The high ceilings beneath the beams make the cottage feel surprisingly spacious. These structural features remind you this was once a working farm building.
Pet Friendly
No, Oke Apple Cottage is not pet friendly. The owners have chosen to keep the barn conversion pet-free to accommodate guests with allergies.
