With a private sauna set within the enclosed garden and a woodburning stove in the living space, this property combines period charm with thoughtful features for a memorable stay.

Step inside to find an inviting sitting room, where a woodburning fireplace takes centre stage, creating a welcoming atmosphere for evenings spent gathered around the TV or listening to music via the speaker.

Upstairs, the layout provides a distinctive arrangement, where the king-size bedroom adjoins an open-plan bathing area featuring both a bath and shower, basin, and WC.

For flexible sleeping, the sitting room also offers a sofa bed suitable for additional guests.

Outside, the enclosed garden offers a pleasant setting for spending time outdoors, with furniture in place for sitting and dining.

The addition of a private sauna provides an extra feature for unwinding between days spent exploring the area.

SHAFTESBURY

Salisbury 21 miles; Bath 30 miles.

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 and outstanding architecture are all within a short walk. One of the best vantage points is from Gold Hill (Ridley Scott's famous Hovis advert was filmed here) with its quaint, cobbled and very steep street. Visit the ruins of Shaftesbury Abbey (a place of great pilgrimage from the 11th century) or navigate the intricate and ancient lanes. Bath, Salisbury and Sherborne are all under an hour away, or drive through the stunning countryside of Blackmoor Vale down to the coast at Poole, Bournemouth and Weymouth. A beautiful area, that still carries the flavour of the very best of the English countryside.

This property offers the following short breaks:

  • Winter
  • Off-season
  • Last minute
  • Christmas
