About this property
Stylish Country Cottage, Large garden, Pet Friendly - Dorset
Our beautiful country cottage is full of family treasures with 2 log burning stoves & a large level private garden with a summerhouse, swing and hammock for lazy summer afternoons...
The cottage has been in our family for over 45 years and offers a unique stay in a real home, rather than a holiday home aesthetic.
It has been featured in Period Living & Homes and Gardens magazines.
It's set in a quiet hamlet surrounded by rolling hills with plentiful walks & local pubs to enjoy. There are numerous quintessential market towns within easy reach and the Jurassic coast is within an hours drive away...
The WIFI is also great making it an ideal spot for a longer term work/stay.

The cottage has been in my family for 50 years now, and been visited and enjoyed by family members and friends over this time. It is is now rented out for the holidays periods.
Blackmore Vale is a beautiful very unspoilt area of Dorset with easy access to the Jurassic coast and amazing inland walks as well as great local towns and lots of foodie highlights

Quite and peaceful
Lovely large private garden for lazy summer holidays, hamock, bbq, swing and summerhouse
Not a typical holiday home feel to it. Full of family vintage finds gathered over the years with an authentic lived in feel..
