A charming home doused in history, this is a superb spot for a group of six friends, or a family. Situated on the beautiful grounds of Minterne House, it has its very own private hot tub, a shared swimming pool, and access to tennis courts.

Set within a walled garden, this characterful stone-built property is a charming home-from-home. Heading inside, you will find colourful and tasteful decorations and furnishings, complementing the cottage’s history. Shake off your shoes and coats in the boot room before heading through to the first of two lounge areas. Flick on the TV or get stuck into a good book in this lovely space. A twin bedroom with an en-suite bathroom is also situated on the ground floor. Upstairs is the main living space, a striking open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner set under high ceilings and flooded with natural light. Spend time together kicking back on the sofas in front of the wood burner, eating together, or preparing delicious meals in the kitchen area. The two remaining bedrooms are also situated up here. They both contain super-king size beds, and one has an en-suite bathroom. Completing this level is a separate shower room. Outside is the enclosed, walled garden with a patio and small lawn space. Soak away in your private hot tub, gazing at the stars and reflecting on the day. There is ample off-road parking available at this property.

Guests to this property have access to a shared swimming pool and tennis court, of which you will be allocated a daily, 2-hour slot for sole use. Visit Minterne House and Gardens right on your doorstep with over 27-acres of land to explore on woodland walks and through colourful, floral gardens. The village of Cerne Abbas is 2 miles down the road where there are country pubs and the famous chalk giant.
