Check Availability at The Old Village Hall

The Anglo Saxon village of Stratton is situated in Thomas Hardy’s county of Wessex, where the famous author was born. Overlooking the village green, this 19th century village hall was the hub of the local community for over 100 years. Now a sympathetically renovated and elegantly furnished holiday home, the Old Village Hall retains many original features, including timber beams, arched doorways and large mullioned windows with beautiful stained glass. All of the accommodation is on the ground floor, whilst an attractive staircase leads to an unusual minstrel’s gallery overlooking the cosy sitting room, where guests can relax with a book. The bright and spacious kitchen/dining room boasts granite worktops and terracotta floor tiles, as well as a double range-style cooker. The pretty enclosed back garden is lawned, with a patio and garden furniture.

Just over three miles from Dorchester, the Old Village Hall is an ideal base for exploring this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with its abundance of coast and countryside walks as well as leisure activities for the whole family.
