This charming property is ideally placed for a family holiday or couple's break spent touring beautiful Dorset and beyond. It boasts excellent road links and original character features.

Bring your dog along for an exciting excursion in Dorset’s marvellous countryside, staying in this traditional country cottage. Laid out with any small family in mind, the barn conversion offers ideal lodgings for four guests and one canine companion. A large, fenced garden ensures your energetic pup has plenty of space to run around on days when you chose to relax at home, whilst the proximity to so many rural beauty spots ensures that dog-friendly days out are always assured.

This single-storey property simply exudes character, complete with original hay loft stalls which act as a versatile partition in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. This generous living space provides ample room for your pack of five to relax, complete with cushy sofas, armchairs and plenty of room to position your dog’s crate or bed. As the night falls, take your dog-tired bodies off to two bedrooms right here on the ground floor, leaving Rover to drift off and dream of walkies past. In the morning, throw open the French doors to allow your four-pawed pal free roam of the garden as you prepare your morning brew.

Pop your pup on a lead and head to Blandford Forum (6.5 miles), the nearest local market town and a fantastic starting point for walks in the Cranston Chase AONB. Let your dog sniff out endless wildlife along the banks of the River Stour or follow the North Dorset Trailway, a fantastic walkies route which leads from Sturminster Newton (15.5 miles) to nearby Spetisbury (4 miles). Heading towards the coast, there are endless seascapes and clifftop delights to be enjoyed on Dorset’s heritage coast (16 miles). Visit the spectacular Bowleaze Cove (22 miles) where dogs are welcome any time of year.

This property was great - very spacious and beautifully decorated in keeping with the building. It had everything that you could possibly need in a home away from home and sitting in the spacious living area looking out into the garden was just the thing we needed to relax. The bedrooms were incredibly comfortable and the shower was a dream! It wasRead more so helpful having recommendations of walks, pubs and places to visit that were local or in the area and we would love to go back another time. Hide

A lovely property. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Even though they live just next door, the property is still very private with its own enclosed garden, ideal for young children. A great location with lots of attractions, including Corfe Castle and Studland Bay, nearby. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We visited with our two boys for a week. Property is everything you need and a large garden for boys to play in. Very clean, warm and welcoming. Location on the A31 is great for getting to all attractions and places. Nice sun trap to have a drink outside on a sunny afternoon. Very enjoyable trip. We would return.
