  • Stunning far-reaching countryside views, with walking routes and footpaths accessible direct from the property

Property code: OC-28964

Surrounded by the Dorset and Cranborne Chase Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, call this welcoming abode home and head out to explore with ease. Verdant views, open-plan living and lovely outdoor spaces invite those looking for a romantic retreat. Bring your four-legged third wheel along to join in the fun and have a ball together.

 

Head up to the first floor where the inviting accommodation awaits and get settled in right away. Step into the lounge where you can spend time unwinding after long journeys or time in the great outdoors. A large sofa offers plenty of space for you to curl up and get cosy and to relax with a book or in front of the TV and the room is decorated in light tones to create a calm atmosphere. When it’s time for dinner and tasty treats, the kitchen has all you need to rustle together ingredients and has a table so you can enjoy formal dinners and date nights with a glass or two of bubbly. If the sun graces you with its presence, fire up the BBQ and enjoy an al fresco feast as you admire the far-reaching views and lap up some more fresh air. After exploring the day away you deserve a good night’s sleep. Stepping down from the lounge brings you to the bedrooms where you can melt into the covers and drift off for a peaceful sleep before waking up and freshening up in the shower room with WC.

 

Hit the town and visit Poole or Bournemouth for a day of retail therapy and good food. Both towns lie within a 15.5-mile radius of your door so you can treat yourselves to a night off from the kitchen without travelling far. From Poole, enjoy time at Sandbanks beach where golden sands await and your dog is allowed all year round at designated sections. 5 miles from home, the quaint village of Blandford Forum is a great place to stock up on local produce and to browse the quirky streets.

We've stayed in many holiday cottages, this one really is outstanding. Sarah and Sam have clearly thought about everything guests might need and provided it. There was washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets, handwash and plenty of toilet rolls provided, boxes of tissues, cotton pads, even toothbrushes and toiletries in the bathroom! All the littlRead moree things you usually have to bring or buy on arrival, there and free to use. The luxury chocolate cookies provided were also a really nice touch.
