About this property
Situated within the world-famous Jurassic Coastline, offering a hugely diverse and beautiful landscape, part of a unesco World Heritage site. The property is nestled under the Purbeck hills and set within the grounds of a stately home that boasts views across a private historic church. Though walks on the grounds are limited, the South Coast Path is less than 4 miles away, offering access to stunning sites such as Kimmeridge Bay, Lulworth Cove, and Durdle Door (both 6.9 miles). The charming market town of Wareham is just 3.5 miles away, where you can explore boutique shops, restaurants, and pubs, and enjoy a pleasure boat trip down the River Frome into Poole Harbour, the second largest natural harbour in the world. Corfe Castle, dating back to 1066, is within 4 miles, providing a day of exploration and breath-taking views of the Purbeck Hills. Further afield, the seaside town of Swanage is within 9 miles, featuring award-winning beaches, local shops, and restaurants.
This unique property, originally a grain silo, has been redesigned with comfort and style in mind, featuring a hand-built bespoke staircase, an oak porch, and a curved kitchen. It’s a wonderful spot for couples to escape, relax, and enjoy the countryside. Kick off your muddy boots at the door and step inside the open-plan kitchen/lounge/diner. Decorated in neutral tones with large windows and a rear door offering views across uninterrupted countryside, it’s a lovely space to enjoy a romantic meal or relax in front of the TV. The sofa in the living room can be converted to a double bed if required for alternative sleeping arrangements or an extra guest. When the day is done, climb the curved staircase to the first floor, where a cosy bedroom with a Juliette balcony awaits, offering stunning views of the ancient church, woods, and farmland. The bedroom is complemented by an en-suite shower room.
Outside, at the rear of the property, is a small but secluded garden space, mainly laid to lawn, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or a night under the stars.

We may be the first to review The Grain Silo as it’s fairly new, so hopefully many more reviews to come… we just had the most incredible 4 days staying in this haven of tranquility and it ticked every single box. We love this area of Dorset and try to find quirky places to stay. We initially looked for somewhere with a sea view, which this doesn’t quite have but it’s so near the coast anyway and the views were drop dead gorgeous, we made the right choice. The Silo itself is an architectural success and it’s amazing how light and airy it is inside and how much space there is!! The living area and kitchen really do work well and the bedroom is fantastic with the ceiling reaching up to the full height of the silo, a lovely domed feature. With the balcony door open, it’s a stunning place to be, just listening to nature and even more of that view…. Wow! The photos don’t do it justice, sat having a glass of something or reading a book, looking across a paddock with horses gently grazing in front of you, the field disappearing away to woodland below and the Dorset countryside reaching out far into the distance. At the top of the slope a stunning church and to the left farm outbuildings / equestrian centre that look just right with the trees sloping away up the hill behind. One of the most peaceful places we’ve visited and there’s an array of wildlife all around, from all the birds flitting about, housemartins flying right up to the balcony window, owls hooting as dusk falls and deer seemingly everywhere!! We would not hesitate to recommend / return. Andy and Shelley have clearly sunk a lot of time and effort into getting the conversion to the brilliant standard it is. They were close by if anything was needed but very relaxed and just left us to enjoy our stay. Thanks again for a wonderful break and keep up the good work, you’ve already achieved great things here and we hope more to come!!
