Preston 4 miles.
Discover this remarkable former bunker, The Transmitter Bunker, which is located in the middle of the owner's dairy farm and two fields distant from the shore, carefully renovated in the rural setting of the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Ringstead Bay near Preston.
The Transmitter Bunker, the ultimate quirky getaway in Dorset, welcomes four visitors to enjoy all ground-floor accommodations, breath-taking sea views, and an abundance of charm.
Unload your personal belongings in the off-road parking space, enter your holiday home, and prepare to relax in the sitting area in front of the blazing woodburning stove and Smart TV—the ideal place to unwind after a hard day.
Allow the designated chef to whip up a delicious meal in the small but well-equipped kitchen, which is stocked with everything you need to make your self-catered stay easier.
Then, sit down to a feast at the dining room table or enjoy meals on the private patio to take in the character of your surroundings for a little longer.
Once night falls, wash the day away in the magnificent shower room, and you'll be ready to get into bed and recover in preparation for another thrilling experience.
With so many unique features, one can almost feel the past permeating the entire property.
The Transmitter Bunker was a component of the Chain Home radar, a coastal early warning system that stretched from Cornwall in the west to Norfolk in the east.
It was formerly the location of one of two transmitter blocks servicing RAF Ringstead during the Second World War.
Early in 1941, the station was put into service, and it was finally shut down in 1956.
The Bunker's Grade-II listing has been taken into consideration during the renovation, and the original concrete walls and other elements have been kept.
Why not venture out and explore the area if that has whetted your appetite for the area's history?
Start your day in Ringstead Bay, where you can spend the day relaxing on the nearly half-mile-long shingle beach, sunbathing, or just watching the world go by.
Then, you can refuel at the Smuggler's Inn Pub.
Take a leisurely stroll farther away along the South Coast Path, stopping at Man O'War Beach before continuing to Lulworth Cove.
Traveling west, you'll come to the well-known seaside town of Weymouth, home to the Sea Life Centre, Lodmoor Country Park, Nothe Fort, and Sandsfoot Castle.
This area is full of things for the whole family to see and do, as well as a tonne of places to shop and eat so you can enjoy a filling meal on the days you don't feel like cooking!
Reserve an interesting stay at The Transmitter Bunker for all of this and more (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Nh6k913nQQ).
Can be booked in conjunction with Pitt Cottage (994553) which lies within the grounds.
