Sleeping up to 22 guests, Wimborne Thatch Villa and Pub is a dream setting for one of the most unique, epic group breaks you’re ever likely to take!

Representing a stylish fusion of holiday tastes, there’s something here for everyone to enjoy. Set on the Dorset and Hampshire border, the thatch-roofed villa is filled with historic character… yet there are plenty of cool, contemporary features to keep the kids (both big and little) happy, too.

Accommodation is centred around the villa’s magnificent courtyard, complete with sun loungers and sofas, a shimmering pool for lazy afternoon laps, and an eight-person jacuzzi for pre-dinner cocktails.

If you prefer unleashing your competitive spirit, the garden chalet not only boasts a sun terrace, but a games room with a professional pool table, dart board, and a selection of fun outdoor games to play in the enclosed garden – which has plenty of space for kids and dogs to run wild and free!

Here you’ll also discover a gas barbecue for sizzling sunset suppers all together, with comfy seating and dining areas dotted here, there, and everywhere.

Dining inside? No problem. Not only are there two (yes, two!) fully-equipped kitchens and a sun-dappled breakfast room, there’s also a barn area with a table seating all 22 guests – ideal for that celebratory banquet you’ve got planned.

Oh… and did we mention there’s even a fully-licensed on-site pub, complete with friendly staff, and exclusive to guests by request?

Curl up by the wood burning stove later on, as you catch up with your favourite shows on the huge Smart TV. A second lounge is home to an Xbox, which should help keep restless teenagers happy, as you indulge in some grown-up chatter with your tipple of choice.

When it’s time to turn in, you’ll find 10 stylish bedrooms – five en-suite – to choose from, cosily furnished for couples, singles, and families with children.

After a sound night’s sleep (or a giggle-fuelled ‘sleepover’ – your choice!) you’ll soon discover a wealth of entertainment options in the local area, from walking and cycling to shopping, sightseeing, and cream tea-ing.

If you’re in the mood for fun family activities, Moors Valley and Avon Health Country Parks are both under 10 minutes away by car, while you can reach the award-winning Blue Flag beaches at Bournemouth and Poole in 20.

For a full day trip, visit the New Forest – if you’re feeling peckish, you could even follow the New Forest Taste Trails by bike! – or take in the iconic stone circle at Stonehenge, just 20 miles away.

However you while away your time, you can look forward to coming together again for another memorable evening, washed down with celebratory drinks in your very own pub.
