Location: Piddletrenthide

Dorchester 8 miles.

The pretty West Dorset village of Piddletrenthide can be found in the quaintly named Piddle Valley, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, only 8 miles from Dorchester, situated off the main road on a private track. The village is surrounded by glorious countryside, with direct access to public footpaths abounding in superb walks, with excellent local pubs serving good food and real ales, and a village store. Interestingly the young Thomas Hardy, as an architect's assistant, worked on the parish church. A great base for touring, there is much to see and do within a short drive of this picturesque area, including the world famous Cerne Abbas giant, only 2 miles away, whilst the bustling market town of Dorchester, with its array of interesting shops, restaurants and museums is well worth a visit. Within easy reach is the family friendly seaside resort of Weymouth and the Jurassic coast, and also dramatic Portland, venue for the 2012 Olympic sailing events. With Bournemouth and Poole only 40 minutes away, this is altogether a super holiday destination at any time of the year.

Previous visitors' comments about Ashley House:

The property was very spacious, plenty of room for 10 people plus dogs. Everywhere was immaculate. Fabulous garden and pool. Central for so many attractions. Recommend a day out at Longleat Safari Park.
Mrs McConnell, Richmond, March 2012

The kitchen and dining area were fabulous and brilliantly equipped, perfect for a big family Christmas lunch and we were so delighted with the beautiful Christmas tree which was waiting for us when we arrived. Also, we loved the open fire. Overall we had a lovely time and would definitely recommend and/or come back.
Ms Pretty, Sydney, December 2011

Amazing little find. The property easily fitted 10 people and our stay could not have been anymore enjoyable. The 'heated' pool actually was heated - to the extent that we found ourselves swimming on a Saturday evening in early December! It’s more like a bath than the usual 'heated' pools you find.
Mr Fludder, London, December 2011

Very well appointed and maintained property. Everything you could want was there. The pool was warm and clean. Fab!
