Going away with friends and family can be an enjoyable experience. However, finding the right accommodation can sometimes be stressful and tricky.
Dorset is bursting with accommodations on all ends of the spectrum. We’ve found a unique and luxurious retreat that is big enough for 8 guests and is situated in the lovely town of Blandford Forum.
The property, named the Old Red Lion House, is a stunning Georgian building with a modern twist, offering lots of interesting features and areas.

This beautiful listed building is available for a 3 night minimum stay and sleeps 8, has 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms.
Giving lots of opportunities for guests to socialise together or find a quiet nook to read a book in peace.
Walking in, you’ll be amazed at the warmth of the place, interesting furniture pieces and works of art on the walls.
The eye-catching bookshelves are a show stopper and are a work of art themselves.
The Old Red Lion House has 2 cosy sitting rooms, bursting with character and large comfy sofas ready for you to sit back and relax.
One sitting room is a calmer area with lots of light and a chilled atmosphere.
You’ll find a sense of peace rushing over you when sinking into the sofa.
Trinkets, ornaments, pictures and mirrors make the place feel homely and welcoming.
