Location: Fontmell Magna

Shaftesbury 4 miles; Blandford Forum 8 miles.

The most attractive North Dorset village of Fontmell Magna lies between the Blackmore Vale to the west and Cranborne Chase to the east, only 4 miles south of the hilltop town of Shaftesbury and 8 miles north of the Georgian market town of Blandford Forum. The village, named after the chalk streamed Fontmell Brook, is dotted with picturesque thatched cottages and is well served by the local pub serving good food and ales. Surrounded by an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, there are lots of lovely walks to be had nearby, whilst the interesting ancient town of Shaftesbury, with its 'Gold Hill' of Hovis advert fame is well worth a visit. Just a little further afield, historic Sherborne's abbey and castle make a good day out, whilst Bath, Stonehenge, Salisbury, as well as the beautiful Dorset coast, are all easily accessible.

The situation of the cottage was delightful. It was peaceful and very much a home from home for comfort and relaxing with many excellent days out within an easy distance.

The cottage was so well equipped, it was just like home. A perfect base to relax in and to come back to after a busy day out. The garden was just as perfect as the cottage!
