After a day spent exploring this picturesque part of the country, return to this idyllic holiday home in Shaftesbury, Dorset. This 18th-century Grade II-listed cottage provides a characterful base for a family of four to adventure the landscape on foot or relax in the peaceful garden overlooking an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Recharge your batteries in this lovingly furnished cottage which welcomes you straight into the fully equipped kitchen, with views over the hills which provide the setting for family dinners around the table. On chilly evenings, stoke up the wood burner in the cosy sitting room and enjoy a glass of wine with your guests while chatting about tomorrow's escapades. Savour the delightful garden by taking your book outdoors to recline on the lounge chairs or steal a few quiet moments in the summer house. Head upstairs, where three serene bedrooms welcome you for a great night's sleep. One king-size, one twin, and one single all offer countryside views and plush bedding for the perfect night's rest. Enjoy a freshen-up in the family bathroom in the morning before sitting down to fresh orange juice and pastries in the garden.
Situated in the lush, rolling countryside of North Dorset, you'll find plenty of gorgeous trails nearby for you and your troop. The market town of Shaftesbury is a short drive away and boasts a fascinating history, returning to Saxon times. Meander through steep cobbled streets lined with pretty cottages before stopping at the local watering hole for a pint or two. For more captivating views, the National Trust locations of Melbury Beacon, Fontmell Downs and Win Green are all within 4 miles of the property.
