Grade 2 Listed Barn Conversion in Bournemouth and the New Forest.

A beautiful Grade II Listed 5 bedroom Barn Conversion situated conveniently between the New Forest and the beautiful beaches of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, a wonderful destination for family and friends to get-together or celebrate.
Located ideally close to major routes and Bournemouth international Airport. Ideal as a base to explore the surrounding area with river walks, cycling and golf courses all on the doorstep.
The Barn was lovingly converted in 2006 and although it retains the character of the listed building it has a all the conveniences and creature comforts that you would expect from a modern house. It is built in a horseshoe shape and consist of 4 main areas;
The lounge
This is a 65ft open vaulted green oak barn, with open mezzanine floors either end of it, both with sleeping arrangements and one with its own en-suite. Downstairs is a stone floored, with underfloor heating, area divided into a dining area for entertaining, a mini-grand piano area, for the gifted, a full size pool table area, for the more competitively spirited and the relaxing seating area with soft leather oversized sofas and throws to put your feet up after a long walk either watching a film or simply enjoying time with friends in front of the fireplace.
The Kitchen
There’s a modern open stile vaulted kitchen, with granite worktops, a large modern range oven and an American-style fridge-freezer will cater for everyone’s culinary desires. The central island, complete with barstools, a wine cooler and the large breakfast/dining table makes this a great space for entertaining.
The Bedrooms
The 2 double bedrooms, one with an en-suite and another with a shared bathroom with the children’s bedroom/playroom with double sofa bed are all decorated with contemporary fittings and neutral colours to create a relaxing atmosphere. They are carpeted and also have the benefit of underfloor heating for those cooler nights or alternatively doors onto the courtyard garden area for those hot summer days. The additional 2 sleeping areas are on the mezzanines in the living room area. One with an en-suite, the other with a sofa bed, perfect for sleeping or simply to sit and read or listen to music.
The Garden.
In the summer months the outside private courtyard garden is a great place to relax or entertain, where guests tend to spend most of their time firing up the grill to prepare some high quality local meat.
With high electric gates and a walled garden it’s the perfect environment for young children or pets to explore.
The Barn is located 5 minutes drive from CastlePoint Shopping Centre containing around 40 shops, including major retailers such as Marks & Spencer, Gap, Topshop, Asda, Sainsbury's, and B&Q.
Another 10 mins and you’re discovering the local beaches or entering the New Forest, there’s so much to see and discover from, whether you prefer exploring the countryside or more urban landscapes there’s plenty of both nearby.
Here you’ll find endless opportunities for walking, cycling and catching a glimpse of some of the local wildlife.
The river Stour offers swimming, for the hardy or even paddle boarding and kayaking in some places.
Please ask about special rates for Couples.

Not Worth the Cost
Lots of faults with property one grill not working put wine cooler on blew all electrics let manager know and she said they never use it. Shower in main bedroom water trickling out shut bedroom door wood fell off at to fix it. Also running alive with ants at to throw food away. We also payed £150 for cleaning and told to strip all beds before we left and leave it in utility room. Not worth the money. So I don’t know what the cleaning money was for and the place was full of cobwebs. This place should have been perfect for the cost

Amazing Bank Holiday weekend getaway
The property itself was a treat. Kitchen was huge and were were able to utilise it to the max, even having made and enjoyed a bumper Easter Sunday Roast Dinner. Bedrooms and bathrooms all good, but bring your own shampoo and scrubs if you need. Living room was the best ... great area to relax, chat and enjoy with the family. Pool table, Table Tennis, trampoline and Barbecue ... we were all kept busy and entertained. Such a great place

Family Friendly
We spent half term at the piggery and we had a wonderful time. The property is in a great location for local walks but also easy reach for Bournemouth and the New Forest. The host was very approachable in the lead up to our stay and was extremely accommodating in setting up beds for our family structure. The house is beautiful and the kitchen is very well equipped. The kids enjoyed all the extras including the piano and pool table especially on the wet mornings. The layout of the property is perfect for a family and with nice big open plan layouts. We were also able to bring our little dog which was great. The welcome pack was a lovely addition and even included a treat for our dog. Overall an amazing stay and we would love to come back x

The Barn is Brilliant
There are many fantastic facilities at the Barn. The kitchen is huge and extraordinarily well-equipped. The living/dining area is also huge and full of things to do. The outside area has parking for at least four cars and a lawn, trampoline and table-tennis table which the children in my party loved. There is one superb bedroom, but the others are not quite of the same quality, and the mezzanine bedroom is open to the living area, so cannot be used by children. The Barn has a great character as a building, and there are some lovely walks just from the front door. Long sandy beach 15 mins drive away. Isabel, the owner, is friendly and cooperative and helped to make my family's stay a real pleasure.

Isabel is the Hostess with the Mostess!
Wow what a weekend, what a property, what a host! We were made to feel special from the moment we chose the Piggery to have a special family stay. Isabel was excellent at communicating prior to the trip and on arrival she had pulled out all the stops! The welcome pack was a lovely touch and showed she cared. The house was beautifully put together and we particularly liked the small touches linking back to its former state. All in all, I can't recommend Isabel and her home enough!

Great stay!!!
We had a lovely stay. The home is gorgeous with lots of things to do for all ages. Isabella is a lovely host - gave us a warm welcome and great treats (for our dog as well), and always responsive when we had any queries. Would definitely love to stay again at the same place if we plan to visit Bournemouth.
