Sherborne 3 miles.
A most attractive north west Dorset village, Thornford is only 3 miles from the ancient town of Sherborne. Over 20 historic cottages make up the conservation area at the centre of the village, which boasts a pub, local shop and a post office, as well as a 'halt' on the railway line linking Weymouth with Bristol. The village is surrounded by an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, bursting with lovely rural walks, and just a short drive takes you into Sherborne, well known for its castle and abbey, and where you can browse the array of interesting shops and restaurants. Good transport links ensure that visits further afield to historic Bath, Stourhead, and Salisbury, as well as the stunning Jurassic Coast, are easily made. This really is a great touring base for visiting this lovely area.

Previous visitors' comments about Candy Cottage:
The standard that the owners have set is indeed 5 star. The fixtures and fittings are beautiful. The little extras provided were very much appreciated. We found the cottage to be an excellent base to explore the area from.

Lovely cottage, very well appointed. A great hideaway, but convenient for all sorts of activities.
Mr Cooper, Ellesmere Port, February 2012
The cottage was made better by the owners touches and extras that you would not expect.
Mr Coleman, Poole, February 2012
We received a hand written letter of welcome and information before arrival and a welcome basket. The flair and quality of the fittings are simply first class. We really were enchanted by the cottage and its owners.
