“Everything was clean and tidy, ...”

Everything was clean and tidy, plenty of fresh towels and blankets. Comfy beds and plenty of space for 5 adults. Kettle could do with a descale but otherwise everything was perfect. Welcome wine and biscuits also went down very well. Rosie, Paul and family.

“We had a really nice weekend break ...”

We had a really nice weekend break and as the Shaftesbury fringe was on and we really enjoyed ourselves.Walking distance to town and very friendly people. A small disapointment I had to clean the fridge before using it and there was a lot of crumbs on one of the settees.

“W"e were very pleasantly surprised ...”

W"e were very pleasantly surprised by the standard of furnishing and equipment. We stayed at the cottage during one of the coldest periods for many tears. The heating system and the gas fire coped well with the arctic conditions and we were very cosy and happy to return to the cottage after walking around the town. We were also very grateful for the wine and biscuits we found on arrival - very acceptable after a busy day at work and a long car journey to Shaftesbury.

Sloe Cottage is located within easy walking distance of the town. It was clean, tidy and very presentable. We only had the cottage for a long weekend but thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.

“The Cottage was very central for ...”

The Cottage was very central for everything and well equipped, the only thing we found was the the lighting was very dim in the lounge in the evenings so difficult to read.

The property

This charming mews-style, Grade II listed cottage is located in the old quarter within easy reach of the heart of Shaftesbury, Dorset.

A quiet, stone-built cottage making this a lovely holiday home, with plenty of shops, pubs and restaurants only a three minute walk away; this is an ideal break for family and friends alike.

Inside, there is a well-appointed kitchen with a breakfast bar, whilst the cosy sitting room and dining area looks out onto the quaint neighbouring cottages.

There are three comfortable bedrooms upstairs with a family bathroom and for added flexibility there is also a ground floor cloakroom.

Outside, enjoy a cup of coffee in the sunny courtyard garden, before going for a stroll around the charismatic town centre or before setting off on the many local walks and cycle routes that pass the door.

Enjoy the scenic views over the lush Blackmore Vale, and discover the iconic, steep and cobbled Gold Hill, which was featured in the famous Hovis advert.

There is always something to do in Shaftesbury; craft and antique fairs, flower and music festivals, farmers’ markets, theatre and arts exhibitions to name but a few!

Should you tire of the town itself, venture out to explore the scenic Blackmore Vale, Thomas Hardy's 'Vale of the Little Dairies', which is dotted with thatched cottage villages and has sparkling chalk streams.

Alternatively, explore a little further afield to ancient Sherborne with its castles and abbey and the National Trust's Stourhead House and beautiful gardens.

Longleat Safari Park, Yeovilton Fleet Air Arm Museum, Stonehenge and Salisbury are also fabulous places to visit, whilst the stunning Dorset Jurassic Coast is another perfect area to explore.

This lovely cottage is a really convenient town centre holiday base at any time of the year.

About the location

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.
