Lofty, spacious accommodation with exposed beams makes the Hayloft an ideal holiday retreat for couples looking for a rural idyll. The wonderful views across the grounds to the rolling Dorset countryside make the Hayloft a favourite of many.

Built from the same local stone as Norburton Hall, the building is thought to date back to before the 1800s and has been converted into a luxury one-bedroom apartment. Access to this single-level apartment is via six steps leading up to the front door.

Pet-friendly: Well-behaved pets are welcome in the Hayloft. With or without a dog, strolls through the village to the beach are always popular.
