“Both cottages are lovely, very clean and comfortable and I couldn't have asked for more.”

The owners are particularly welcoming and friendly and I enjoyed meeting them. They made me feel extremely welcome and have now been there twice and hope to go again soon.

“It was just so peaceful and quiet.”

The pub just across the road that did excellent food. The fact my 14 month old dog was allowed at the cottage and pub. Beautiful Stourton National Trust 15 mins away. I going back I just loved it. Ps The bed was so comfy and luxurious.

- Miss Crawford, September 2019
“Delightful, clean and well equipped cottage with home comforts as a nice added touch.”

Very friendly family run business. Perfectly located for day trips out in Dorset, Somerset and Wiltshire. Would definitely recommend to all.

- Mr Millington, August 2019
“Incredibly helpful host and beautiful surroundings.”

- Mr Fowler, July 2019
“The Cider Press is a clean, comfortable and stylish little cottage, we felt immediately at home there.”

- Mrs Taylor-davies, July 2019
“Location of holiday cottage is excellent as there is a first class pub - Coppleridge Inn - only about 100 yards away that serves good food at a reasonable price AND is very dog friendly.”

On the first evening we went there were around 10 dogs in the "doggy" area! The cottage was clean & welcoming and equipped very well. If you enjoy walking, this is an excellent base. We undertook spectacular walks centred on Cerne Abbas & Compton Abbas, both of which are only around 20 minutes drive away.

- Dr Edmondson, June 2019
“This was a charming cottage, very clean and of a high standard.”

Perfect location with stunning scenery, close to Gillingham and Shaftsbury with an excellent pub across the road.

- Mrs Adams, May 2019
“The cottage is in a lovely location.”

Other than the adjoining cottages and the pub about 150 yds away, it was very secluded and quiet. Everything you could want for us provided and the kitchen was well equipped for a short stay. Lovely hosts who made us feel very welcome.

- Mr Luckhurst, May 2019
“The Cider Press is a really lovely place to stay.”

It has everything you would want for a great holiday - a well-equipped kitchen, abundant hot water, comfortable beds, lots of fluffy white towels, cosy warm sitting room, fast wi-fI, very attractive decor inside and a generous outside space. Caroline and Rupert made us feel so welcome and are very thoughtful. We really appreciated the tea and biscuits that greeted us on arrival after a hot drive from London, all the leaflets about things to do in the area, and their advice, tips and directions. The Cider Press is in a brilliant location, only 3 miles from Shaftesbury which is a beautiful English town, close to several stunning National Trust properties, not far from the amazing Dorset costline, AND right opposite a pub which has a fabulous view from the outside terrace. We will definitely be going back.

- Ms Rivett, April 2019
“Caroline and Rupert were/are extraordinary hosts.”

They could not have been more thoughtful, generous and accommodating. I loved my nearly 3 weeks at Cider Press and the chance to investigate nearby natural wonders like Lulworth Cove, the Durdle Door, Lyme Regis - I would return in a minute!

- Ms Turner, September 2018
“Very easy to book and really good communication to ensure we were happy with the accommodation.”

A beautiful, well-appointed and clean cottage. Really good quality furnishings for a very comfortable stay. A beautiful location - we will definitely stay again!

- Mrs Laker, August 2018
“Lovely to meet the property owners who were very welcoming and friendly.”

Lovely location for exploring Shaftsbury and surrounding area. Copperidge Inn (opposite accommodation) serves good food and drinks with very friendly staff. Whole area of Dorset seems dog friendly.

- Mr Brunt, July 2018
“Lovely cottage and furnished to a very high specification with everything you could need, including milk, tea and coffee plus some lovely biscuits waiting for us.”

Owners are very friendly and asked if there was anything else they could do to make future visitors experience any better....needless to say there wasn’t much!

About the location

MOTCOMBE

Shaftesbury 3 miles; Salisbury 22 miles; Stonehenge 23 miles

The thriving village of Motcombe lies on the edge of North Dorset’s Blackmore Vale, just 3 miles from the ancient hilltop town of Shaftesbury. Motcombe has its own friendly community shop, post office and well-regarded country pub, The Coppleridge Inn. The local town of Shaftesbury, with a good range of shops and inns, is perched on a spur of rolling green hills with spectacular views reaching far across the rural landscape. One of the best vantage points is from Gold Hill (instantly recognisable as the setting of the iconic Hovis advert with its quaint, cobbled and very steep street. Motcombe sits amidst rolling countryside at the edge of the picturesque Blackmore Vale, and close to the Cranborne Chase AONB as well as many other areas of natural beauty and exceptional heritage, including the National Trust’s Stourhead. A wonderful location to explore the best of the West Country, and only just over an hour’s drive to the stunning Jurrassic Coast.
