Escape to this charming countryside retreat, nestled within a working farm in North Dorset and perfectly situated for exploring, or simply getting away from it all. The picturesque Blackmore Vale serves as an excellent base for walkers and cyclists. You can find essential provisions in the nearby village of Hazelbury Bryan (2.5 miles), boasting a shop and pub, or within 6 miles are the riverside towns of Blandford and Sturminster Newton, which offer a wider range of amenities. History enthusiasts will relish visits to Milton Abbas and Cerne Abbas, home to the famous chalk giant carved into the hillside, or head to the magnificent Jurassic Coastline, with popular spots like Lulworth Cove, Abbotsbury, and Ringstead Bay all within 20 miles.

A path leads to the side entrance into this end of terrace property. Once inside, you are met with a welcoming entrance hall with a step down to three of the four inviting bedrooms and the bathroom on your left. You'll pass the two twin bedrooms before reaching the super-king-size bedroom at the end of the hallway, which has its own en-suite shower room. To the left of the hallway is a spacious kitchen. Leading from the kitchen is the utility room and a separate shower room with WC. Just next door is the comfortable lounge, which is complete with wood burner and smart TV. Lastly, this single storey property has a further king-size bedroom, which is accessed via the lounge.

The roads to and from the property were single track with limited visibility. This made driving difficult down them especially with oncoming tractors, vans etc. However, we did enjoy our stay and the homemade cake that was left for us was delicious.

Fantastic cottage in the middel of nowhere Dorset. Relatively close to towns and cities, interesting sites, and to the Jurassic Coast (Lulworth Cove, Durdle Dore). Really good beds, bath/shower facilities. Well equiped kitchen. Very friendly and helpful hosts.
