Shaftesbury 5 miles.
The attractive village of Berwick St John lies on the Wiltshire side of the Dorset/Wiltshire border, only 5 miles from Shaftesbury. The village nestles at the western end of the chalk-streamed Ebble Valley, below the unspoilt downlands which form the edge of picturesque Cranborne Chase, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The tranquil village boasts a charming pub, a great place to sample local fayre after a day exploring this scenic area, which offers superb walks as well as the Wiltshire cycleway. Locally, view the First World War regimental badges cut into Fovant Downs or visit the 14th century ruined Wardour Castle. The village makes an excellent touring base, with the magnificent cathedral city of Salisbury, Wilton House, ancient Stonehenge, and the stunning house and gardens at Stourhead all easily accessible.

Previous visitors' comments about Blandford Cottage:
The cottage was in an excellent location, ideal as a touring/walking base. The village pub served very good food and the cottage was a real home away from home. The bed linen was absolute top quality and the mattress was very comfortable. As we were on our motorcycle it was very useful having a secure garage.

A lovely 300-year old cottage turned into a pretty holiday cottage with charming furniture. Very friendly owner with great tips for tourist sights in the area.
