Discover this unique, red-bricked property located in the grounds of the owner’s estate, the perfect accommodation for four to explore Dorset’s countryside and coast, far and wide. Perfectly suited to a group of friends or family group, this holiday home boasts contemporary decor with ample sized bedrooms on the first floor. Also welcoming along one dog for the duration of your stay, the cottage has also been allocated a private paddock for letting your four-pawed pal run off some steam.

Look forward to a peaceful stay in this detached annexe-style property, with the owner nearby to lend a hand if needs be, but otherwise only the sound of nature to keep you company. Step inside and first explore the open-plan lounge and dining area which gives way to a well-equipped kitchen. This space is flooded with light thanks to generous windows and skylights. Settle in to enjoy meals together or make use of the Hi-Fi system for an evening of drinks and music. Venture upstairs as day turns to night, discovering two spacious bedrooms on the first floor. The master double boasts more than enough space for two, whilst the second bedroom offers a versatile zip-and-link twin bed that can be made up as a king-size.

Just a short mosey into the town of Sturminster Newton, discover welcoming pubs, local amenities and the bustling River Stour just 1 mile away. Sturminster Newton Mill is well worth a visit, along with a look at the town’s historic bridge. Venture into the nearby Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) to enjoy day trips at the Larmer Tree Gardens (14 miles) or the fascinating Old Wardour Castle (17 miles), or perhaps venture south and explore the wonders of the Dorset Coast AONB with a trip to Weymouth (26 miles) or Chesil Beach (27 miles).

Excellent, spotlessly clean, comfortable bed and furnishings. We were a couple with small dog but could accommodate 6 comfortably. Good location for touring Dorset and other places of interest. Helpful owners in adjacent house but completely private. No hesitation in booking again if we return to this very attractive part of the country.

Studio is very well equipped with kitchen equipment, good sized freezer, fridge and washing machine. Standard of cleanliness first rate. There are issues with water pressure as the area is rural. You need to make sure no one else is running taps, having a bath etc in the studio when having a shower. It is next to a small road which has some trafficRead more from about 7am onwards. May be a problem in the summer when the windows are open. Didn't bother me as I've always worn ear plugs. Would def return Hide
