A beautiful home for a rural, romantic retreat, this quaint bolthole is a snug and welcoming abode. Filled with light, the open-plan living space is a lovely place to spend time with a loved one and offers a warm welcome when returning home from exploring. The magical Dorset coast and countryside are yours to adventure with a handful of National Trust properties close by, pretty villages to roam and the historic town of Sherborne with its castles and abbey an 11-mile journey from your door.
Enter via your private access and arrive at your home from home to begin unpacking your bags and stocking the cupboards with goodies. The lounge/diner are open-plan, and the wood burner effect electric fire promises to keep the chill at bay. A tranquil space to spend time in, pop your feet up and indulge in good book or switch on the TV/DVD for a romantic film night. When it’s time to whet your appetite, the kitchen is compact but has all you need to cater for meals at the dining table. Make use of the ice compartment in the fridge and chill your glasses of bubbly before heading outside to the secluded garden to raise a toast and sit beneath the stars. After a tipple or two, head to bed in the lovely double bedroom where you can snuggle up under the covers for a peaceful sleep. Start your day with a relaxing soak in the tub before heading out to explore.
Pack up a picnic and don your swimmers for a day by the coast and travel 30 miles to the beautiful beach at Swanage. From Swanage, hop on the 9-mile Purbeck Ridge Walk which winds its way past Old Harry Rocks and up to the quaint village of Corfe Castle. Here, the National Trust owned remains are well-worth a trip and you can travel between Swanage and Corfe Castle via train if you don’t fancy the hike.
