This tranquil cottage offers couples or solo travellers the chance to slow the pace of life and enjoy glorious countryside, coastal adventures and vibrant market towns. Meet the free-roaming chickens, stroll onto nearby footpaths and return to relax by the wood burner after a day exploring.
Entry is via electric gates, then follow the garden path before taking two steps up to the door of the single-storey retreat. Hang coats in the hall and stroll into the lounge, where a striking brick fireplace houses a cosy wood burner. Snuggle on the L-shaped sofa for a quiet evening with the Smart TV. The bright kitchen/diner offers plenty of space for preparing meals – perhaps with the help of the microwave and the air fryer – and lingering over dinner. The king-size bedroom includes ample storage, while the shower room features a large double shower for a refreshing start to each day. The enclosed, lawned garden offers a delightful spot in which to dine, relax with a glass of wine or simply admire the rural vista. Guests are also welcome to wander through the farm's fields and enjoy the views (please note that there is no entry to the stables), perhaps encountering a chicken or two as you discover country footpaths. As another bonus of this appealing getaway, private parking is also provided.
This lovely escape is located on a farm at Winterborne Zelston. Sturminster Marshall and Bere Regis are 4 miles away, and the beautiful harbour town of Poole is 11 miles away, where you’ll find fabulous beaches and a historic old town. The beauty spots of Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door are both within 15 miles, and it’s the same distance to the market town of Dorchester, where you’ll find shops, museums and Max Gate, once the home of author Thomas Hardy.
