  • "Magical scenery, and friendly locals and host."

    Most of everything is provided for a comfortable stay. Nicely clean and appreciate the handy toiletries. I wonder about the accuracy of listing of the following: * Photos do not show the stairs, which are steep and not wide, with a lack of support at the top. Not suitable for all, and therefore, a photo can help with decisions before booking. * There is provision for fishing: this was not mentioned. It may be helpful for those interested to bring their own equipment. * Central Heating is listed: this is incorrect. A Pifco electric fire does not constitute as central heating. We enjoyed our stay and love the area. It would have been helpful to have more information for guests: such as the TV account to use, how to operate the coffee maker, how to pull out the bed seatee to use as a bed if access up the stairway is not possible, although there was spare duvet stored downstairs. A little niggle point is the less than half toilet roll, and the 1 tea bag for a 5 night stay?

GILLINGHAM

Shaftesbury 5 miles.

A small bustling North Dorset market town in the heart of the Blackmore Vale, well served by a good selection of local shops, inns, restaurants, and a direct rail link from London to the West Country. The town was immortalised by John Constable's famous painting of The Old Town Bridge, which now hangs in the Tate Gallery. The Blackmore Vale, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is part of the Stour Valley, vividly depicted by Thomas Hardy in Tess of The D'Urbervilles, as 'Vale of the little dairies', with lush green countryside and a 'patchwork quilt' of fields. The area abounds with pretty rural walks and offers numerous National Trust properties and historic houses within a short drive, such as Stourhead, Longleat and Wilton, whilst the wonderful Dorset Heritage Coast is also an easy drive.
