In a terrace of about twelve cottages on the edge of Charlton Marshall village is this dear little cottage.
Surrounded by countryside and unspoiled, it is a tranquil base for small families or adults to relax.
Head down a couple of steps through the porch into the snug sitting room where you can chill out beside the open fire or enjoy your meals, prepared in the well equipped kitchen.
Head on up the steep olde worlde stairs to the two pretty bedrooms, both looking over the garden.
The garden is safely enclosed and charming with roses and clematis sheltering the table and chairs.
Wander out to the village pub, which conveniently offers WiFi, or go fishing in the local river valley.
Head to the handsome resorts of Poole or Bournemouth for some seaside fun or to admire the boats in Poole Harbour, or try the more peaceful coastline around iconic Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove which is timeless walking country.
Poppy Cottage is a lovely place to recharge your batteries or walk and cycle on the Stour Valley Way.
