Dog friendly cottage, sleeps 6 - Sturminster Newton, Dorset

Discover this unique, red-bricked property located in the grounds of the owner’s estate, the perfect accommodation for four to explore Dorset’s countryside and coast, far and wide. Perfectly suited to a group of friends or family group, this holiday home boasts contemporary decor with ample sized bedrooms on the first floor. Also welcoming along one dog for the duration of your stay, the cottage has also been allocated a private paddock for letting your four-pawed pal run off some steam.

Look forward to a peaceful stay in this detached annexe-style property, with the owner nearby to lend a hand if needs be, but otherwise only the sound of nature to keep you company. Step inside and first explore the open-plan lounge and dining area which gives way to a well-equipped kitchen. This space is flooded with light thanks to generous windows and skylights.

Settle in to enjoy meals together or make use of the Hi-Fi system for an evening of drinks and music. Venture upstairs as day turns to night, discovering two spacious bedrooms on the first floor. The master double boasts more than enough space for two, whilst the second bedroom offers a versatile zip-and-link twin bed that can be made up as a king-size.

Just a short mosey into the town of Sturminster Newton, discover welcoming pubs, local amenities and the bustling River Stour just 1 mile away. Sturminster Newton Mill is well worth a visit, along with a look at the town’s historic bridge. Venture into the nearby Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) to enjoy day trips at the Larmer Tree Gardens (14 miles) or the fascinating Old Wardour Castle (17 miles), or perhaps venture south and explore the wonders of the Dorset Coast AONB with a trip to Weymouth (26 miles) or Chesil Beach (27 miles).
