The Experience
Leafy lanes and a private drive lead you to this lovely Green Oak Barn next to the owners’ hamstone house hidden in rolling West Dorset. Savour the total peace, valley views and clear starry skies.
Martyn and Susie give you a very comfortable stay – the bed is superking and over 7-feet long. Views look out over fields, oak beams soar above you and the whole room is lovely and light. There’s a little kitchen area which has all you need for holiday cooking. The thatched folly is yours to relax in, as well as a private area by the orchard with teak furniture and sun loungers.
Walk to the nearest village for a shop, a bit further for a good pub. Spot deer, foxes and swallows and house martins dipping and diving over the garden, listen to nightingales, drive to the Jurassic coast for a day by the sea. Return to comfy sofas and your own private space, as well as an evening drink watching the wonderful sunsets.

Susie and Martin were friendly, kind and generous hosts and we have never felt more welcome at a holiday place. They were very helpful with advice about the anrea and what to do. Oak Barn itself was very attractive as well as being clean, comfortable, and well equipped. It is in an absolutely beautiful and tranquil spot, and the upside of having to drive down lanes to get there is that the only noise is the wind in the trees, the birds, and the whinnying of horses in the field next door. I hope we will be back again before long.

We enjoyed a fabulous week at Wooden Cabbage. From the moment you turn down the driveway, you are greeted with amazing views of the Dorset countryside. The accommodation is tastefully furnished and contains everything you’ll need for your stay. Lovely to relax in the beautiful garden in the evening and enjoy some of the produce which Susie and Martyn kindly provided. We had a very warm and friendly welcome from the owners who gave us plenty of information about places to visit and restaurant recommendations. They were both helpful without being intrusive.

Location
The neighbourhood
The Oak Suite is in an AONB. There are lovely walks from the house; a favourite is four miles into Melbury Park and on to the pub, The Acorn Inn, in Evershot. East Chelborough is made up of just a few houses and a little church (sixth smallest in England) just ten minutes’ walk away; the 13th-century All Saints in Sutton Bingham is worth a visit too (about three miles). The Fox Inn at Corscombe (3 miles) serves good food and has a garden; The Greyhound at Sydling St Nicholas is a 15-minute drive. There’s a village shop within half a mile (Halstock).
