Voltaire
is a fabulous modern barn conversion situated deep in
the beautiful West Dorset countryside, close to a farming
and equestrian environment. From the top of the drive,
you can see the sea beyond the rolling countryside.
It is a place lost in time, designed to relieve you
of the stresses of modern life, allowing you to unwind
and relax in perfect surroundings.
Wherever
you go, the past is everywhere. Terraced lynchets, Bronze
Age barrows and Roman hillforts dominate West Dorset's
softly-rounded hills. Its beauty is in its landscape,
making it unlike any other place. You can see how Hardy
felt so at home here. In places, off the beaten track,
West Dorset has changed very little in the last half
a century, making a stay here truly magical.
Excellent
road and rail links mean Voltaire is just two-and-three-quarter
hours from London. Close enough to get to in a hurry
but far enough to get away from it all to enjoy total
seclusion and splendour, in fabulous surroundings.
