Fabulous property for a stay with family - good size for four adults and had a gorgeous garden with a deck, BBQ - it was a lovely sun trap and perfect for our evening meal and a glass or two of wine We were welcomed with fresh eggs from the owner which was a lovely gesture and very tasty for breakfast If I need to come to Blandford Forum again I would definitely stay here
