Location: Woodyates

Salisbury 10 miles; Blandford Forum 12 miles.

A scattered hamlet on the borders of Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire, sitting between the splendid cathedral city of Salisbury and the Georgian town of Blandford Forum, each approximately 10 miles away. The surrounding area, known as Cranborne Chase, is one of outstanding natural beauty, and an area steeped in history, being famous for it's neolithic 'Dorset Cursus', a fourth century dyke, numerous tumuli, long barrows and a roman road. Cranborne Chase provides visitors with wonderful walks through open rolling countryside and neat little villages, whilst Thomas Hardy based his 'Trantridge', in Tess of the D'Urbervilles, on the nearby parish of Pentridge. A short drive through glorious countryside takes you to Salisbury, one of the most beautiful cathedral cities in the country, or why not visit nearby Wilton House, or Stonehenge. With the stunning Dorset heritage coast also within easy reach, this area makes a great year round touring base.

Previous visitors' comments about Lynwood Cottage:

Had a really enjoyable time, the cottage was lovely and was great to go back to after a very long day at the Dorset Great Steam Fair. The owners were very helpful and friendly. It was really nice to sit in the peaceful garden and relax. Would definitely go back again - thanks :-)

Second visit to Lynwood Cottage. Lovely hosts. Comfy beds. Great bonus for kids being able to use pool, trampoline and tennis courts.
Mr & Mrs Crawford, Stockport, August 2010

The owners were very friendly and helpful. The outdoor pool was a real bonus, keeping the young ones happy for hours! The garden was safe and secure.

A lovely holiday. Very private and tranquil; a home from home. Excellent garden for dogs, very secure. Superb pubs all over Dorset.
