The Tool Shed is a rural fully contained converted barn with surrounding garden and fields.
Tracey and David look forward to giving you a warm welcome when you arrive at the Tool Shed. They also have a very friendly Labrador.
The Tool Shed is located in the beautiful Cranborne Chase, an area of outstanding natural beauty and part of one of the few international dark sky reserves. The area is renowned for chalk stream fishing, shooting, and wonderful walks & rides. We are also within easy driving distance of the beautiful Jurassic coast, The New Forest National Park, Poole Harbour for sailing and water sports, and Stonehenge. The Market towns of Blandford Forum, Wimborne Minster, Ringwood and Salisbury are all within 20 minutes drive. If you are interested in eating our locally we have some very good local pubs which we can recommend on arrival. Alternatively our local shop carries a good range of frozen and fresh food as well as wine, beer, and drinks. There is also a very good local butcher.
