Enjoy the countryside, the coast and all that Dorset has to offer. Return to total relaxation with a superb pub on your doorstep! The oldest part of the cottage was recorded to be in existence in 1584. It has been extended over the following centuries and most recent renovations completed in 2020. It is full of character with exposed beams, modern amenities, a secluded garden with a large wood-fired pizza oven and plenty of parking space. It is located in the heart of the conservation area of a picturesque Dorset village.  The beautiful Blackmore Vale (the setting of so many of Thomas Hardy's novels) offers some wonderful countryside walks, activities and local attractions.
