This family friendly Victorian cottage, set back from a country lane on the Wareham to Dorchester cycle route, offers a fantastic holiday for active families as well as those looking for a peaceful getaway.
Enormous grounds surrounding this elegant and beautifully decorated house are perfect for energetic children and pets. The semi-detached property suits large groups of family or friends and is both welcoming and comfortable – an excellent base for taking your canine companion to explore Dorset’s wonderful beaches and scenic walks.
The semi-detached Victorian house has bright and spacious rooms with carefully chosen furnishings. Original features include inglenook fireplaces and flagstones in the hall and kitchen. Hang coats and leads in the hall and, as your eager dog leads you into the lounge, you’ll appreciate the array of comfortable seating, shelves full of books and a Smart TV and Wii console for entertainment. Light the fire and snuggle up with your pup at your feet, or open the patio doors for a fresh breeze. The farmhouse-style kitchen/diner is a couple of steps up, boasting a large dining table in front of an ornamental fireplace and plenty of floor space to feed your pup. All four bedrooms are on the first floor, with the twin and bunk bed rooms an additional three steps up from the landing. The children’s rooms have plenty of books for bedtime enjoying, while the king-size and double bedrooms (the former with an en-suite) are decorated in neutral tones for calm and relaxation. For al fresco drinks and meals step head to the patio, while children and your canine bestie roams the lawn or the woodland.
The house is located off a country lane in the tranquil village of East Holme.
