    “Colin and Sue, the owners, were ...”
    Colin and Sue, the owners, were very friendly and extremely helpful. They had left provisions for us, which meant we didn't have to rush out and buy basic essentials. The garden room was an added bonus. We ate our breakfast overlooking the garden every day. We did experience a problem with the wi fi signal, which was very weak and difficult to connect to. I mentioned this to Colin, who is looking into improving the signal. However, it did not spoil our enjoyment in any way.

About the location

MOTCOMBE

Shaftsbury 2 miles; Salisbury 22 miles

The thriving village of Motcombe lies on the edge of North Dorset’s Blackmore Vale, just 2 miles from the ancient hilltop town of Shaftesbury. Motcombe boasts its own friendly community store, Post Office and country pub, which is set on the outskirts of the village. The local town of Shaftesbury, well served by a good range of shops and inns, is perched on a spur of rolling green hills with spectacular views reaching far across the rural landscape. One of the best vantage points is from Gold Hill (the famous Hovis advert was filmed here) with its quaint, cobbled and very steep street. Nearby, a drive through the picturesque Blackmore Vale, dotted with pretty villages, offers visitors a flavour of the very best of the English countryside. A treat not to be missed!
