    A lovely cottage attached to the owners farm house.

    Beautiful cottage in stunning countryside. Very quiet and peaceful and safe. Washing machine and dishwasher were hugely useful. Lots of space and everything we needed. Very cosy and relaxing. We liked that we were "left to it" and got to enjoy...

    We loved the property and the owner was so welcoming. There was a lovely Christmas tree set up and a lovely goody bag waiting for us. It was very easy to contact the owner. It was dog friendly. We just had a wonderful stay.

Positioned on the borders of West Dorset and South Somerset, the cottage offers well-equipped, comfortable accommodation, with views across the Axe Valley, a cosy open fire and sunny conservatory. This is a wonderful place to relax after a day exploring this designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Visitors can enjoy a fresh egg for breakfast from one of the free-range chickens, or watch the calves being fed across this 180-acre farm. This property accepts three well-behaved dogs at no extra charge.

Neighbourhood information

Close to the Somerset border, just three miles from Crewkerne and less than five miles from Beaminster, this lovely village is perfectly situated for those looking to explore this superb rural area. The region was a favourite destination of Thomas Hardy â“ author of 'Tess of the D'Urbervilles' - and in recent years has been featured in the 'River Cottage' television series.
