“Lovely cottage- a delight to visit”

This is a beautifully appointed cottage in a courtyard setting. It was a joy to take our dog with us. There is a large field close by to exercise dogs, and we found our dog was made very welcome everywhere we visited locally- including the shops in Shaftesbury. We loved the design of the cottage- it was very convenient to stay in. The bathroom was spacious with a bath and shower over. There was plenty of room in the sitting area for our large dogbed. Fresh eggs were waiting for us from the owner- a lovely welcome present. There is a dining table close by the kitchen. This area is new to us. I would recommend visiting here for the lovely scenery and excellent food available locally. The community shop in Semley is a delight. I would be very happy to return to this cottage. Parking is available very close by.

“The only thing we did not realise was that the apartment was part of the farm complex and not a separate private unit but that was no great worry.”

“Cottage was a pleasure to be in, the only feed back I would mention that the chair in living room was not fit for purpose not comfortable at all, other than that everything else worked well.”

Maybe a hook some where to put your coats would be appreciated. The layout of the cottages were very nice. The bottle of sparkling wine was a very nice touch.

“The cottage was lovely and the setting the garden etc The cottage was clean the rooms cupboards etc but when we moved the toaster it was obvious the worksurface had not been cleaned properly when we moved the toaster we found a heap of crumb sunder it and the inside of the the toaster was clogged with crumbs .”

There was hardly any cleaning materials or equipment just one dirty dish cloth and one dirty flannel .There was no broom or mop just a dust pan and brush - The sauce pans were a bit worse for wear and one was dirty .The was the minimum of cutlery and china - just two mugs - 2 large plates 3 small plates - 3 soup bowls bowls - which made preparing food - difficult . no wooden spoon - no hand whisk. t was a great kitchen loads of cupboards - basically the cupboards were 'Bare!' - except for drinking glasses - there were lots of them !

About the location

SHAFTESBURY

Salisbury 21 miles; Bath 30 miles.

One of Dorset’s prettiest and most historic towns, Shaftesbury is perched on a spur of rolling green hills, and the views in all directions are without comparison. Lush green meadows, woodland glades and outstanding architecture are all within a short walk. One of the best vantage points is from Gold Hill (Ridley Scott's famous Hovis advert was filmed here) with its quaint, cobbled and very steep street. Visit the ruins of Shaftesbury Abbey (a place of great pilgrimage from the 11th century) or navigate the intricate and ancient lanes. Bath, Salisbury and Sherborne are all under an hour away, or drive through the stunning countryside of Blackmoor Vale down to the coast at Poole, Bournemouth and Weymouth. A beautiful area, that still carries the flavour of the very best of the English countryside.
