One of Dorset’s prettiest and most historic towns, Shaftesbury is perched on a spur of rolling green hills, and the views in all directions are without comparison. Lush green meadows, woodland glades, outstanding architecture and all within walking distance. One of the best vantage points is from Gold Hill (the famous Hovis advert was filmed here) with its quaint, cobbled and very steep street. Visit the ruins of Shaftesbury Abbey (once a place of great pilgrimage) or drive through the stunning countryside of Blackmoor Vale down to the coast at Poole, Bournemouth and Weymouth - all under 40 miles away. A beautiful area, that still carries the flavour of the very best of the English countryside.

Previous visitors' comments about Ryecross Farm Cottage:
A very good setting; roomy accommodation of a high standard in a quiet location. The owner was very helpful and his little dog "Alfie", plus the hen, greeted us every evening when we returned from our outings. The let was good value for money and we will have no hesitation in reccommending it to family and friends. Thanks!

A really lovely cottage with everything we needed. Very clean, comfortable and relaxing. It was so nice to have the french doors out into the garden, with views to die for!
Mrs Davies, Conwy, July 2011
Views from the property, quiet location and the privacy afforded by the landlord. The landlord and his dog, Alfie, were very welcoming.
