If woodland walks, beautiful landscapes and cosy inns are your idea of heaven, then come and immerse yourself in the romantic landscape Thomas Hardy once called home. Book a stay in this delightful, contemporary detached annexe, which is tucked away in a secluded spot just 1 mile away from the centre of Sturminster Newton. Sleeping up to four guests, this property would be perfect for two couples or a family to enjoy this stunning part of the country. The enclosed paddock area, situated just across from the driveway, provides ample room for up to two energetic dogs to let off steam after a fun day exploring the towns, beaches and scenery close by.
The ground floor features a spacious, stylish living and dining area with modern leather seating and bright pops of colour that bring the room to life. Dual aspect windows flood the entire room with light and the warm sun on the ceramic floor tiles makes an ideal lounging spot for sleepy, relaxed dogs. Upstairs the two good-sized bedrooms are clean and welcoming, decorated in restful neutral tones that perfectly complement the views from the Velux windows.
The pretty market town of Sturminster Newton sits on the River Stour and here you will find plenty of long walks studded with fascinating architecture, including a six-arch bridge which was the inspiration behind a poem written by Thomas Hardy. There are also a number of pubs and cafes where Fido will be just as welcome as his human companions. Sherborne Castle is 12 miles away and whilst dogs are not allowed in the castle itself, can take advantage of the 30 acres of gardens and grounds landscaped by Capability Brown.
