Feel yourself truly unwind as soon as you step into this delightful Dorset cottage. Sleeping four guests, the gorgeous two-bedroom abode at Sydling Saint Nicholas, 8 miles from Dorchester, has been beautifully finished to offer an exceptional combination of style and character. Curl up with a good book beside the wood burner or enjoy the sunshine of the courtyard garden.
Take three steps up to find yourselves in the sun-soaked lounge/diner, with its exposed brickwork and inglenook fireplaces. One of these houses the wood burner that you can stoke up on chilly days. Flick through the channels of the Smart TV or discuss whose turn it is to produce the next delicious feast to sit down to at the table. Amble through to the kitchen at the back of the cottage to find everything you need to assist you in your endeavours. Open the door to the garden on warm days to bring in a breeze. The family bathroom is also downstairs. As the day comes to a natural end, wend your way up the cottage-style stairs to the two lovely double bedrooms, both with good storage and one with a bed accessed from the foot. Enjoy your first cup of tea of the day in the courtyard garden on summer mornings. Sit down to your meals here too whenever it is warm enough. Parking for this cottage is on the street, subject to availability.
Head 2.5 miles from the cottage to Cerne Abbas to see the famous chalk giant carved into the hill. Lovers of literature will wish to venture 10.5 miles to the thatched cottage where famous English novelist Thomas Hardy was born near Dorchester. Make a day trip down to the Jurassic Coast, pausing at spectacular Durdle Door, 20 miles away, to see the natural limestone arch.
