Hidden within the gentle hills of rural Dorset, this peaceful hideaway is a wonderful setting for couples seeking a quiet break surrounded by nature. Nestled in a secluded valley near the picturesque village of Milton Abbas, the cottage feels wonderfully removed from the bustle of daily life.
Inside, the bright open-plan living area combines a well-equipped kitchen with a comfortable sitting area where meals can be prepared and shared at a relaxed pace. A sofa and tub chair face the Smart TV, while a dining table creates a cosy setting for breakfast or evening suppers after a day exploring Dorset’s countryside. The bedroom includes a king-size bed for restful nights, while the modern shower room is fitted with a walk-in shower and WC, bringing both style and practicality. Outside, the patio is a pleasant spot for morning coffee. Guests are also welcome to wander through the farm's grounds, where friendly animals, including donkeys, ducks and goats can often be seen. At certain times of the year, special encounters with alpacas or Shetland ponies may also be arranged (additional charges may apply). The on-site riding centre offers opportunities to explore the surrounding landscape on horseback. Guests can also use the tennis court, play lawn games, or follow footpaths through the fields. After dark, a dedicated stargazing area allows clear views of the night sky. When indoor leisure calls, the heated swimming pool and sauna provide a soothing retreat (same-day booking required). There is also a small gym and games room. The property includes allocated off-road parking and EV charging.
A scenic 1.5-mile walk across open farmland leads into the village itself, known for its distinctive thatched cottages and the historic Milton Abbey, parts of which date back to the 15th century. For days out, the charming market towns of Blandford Forum (8 miles) and Dorchester (14 miles) boast independent shops, cafes and fascinating heritage sites. The dramatic coastline of the Jurassic Coast (17 miles) brings striking cliffs, unusual rock formations and wide beaches that reward visitors with memorable coastal walks and classic seaside scenery.
