“Location was amazing.”

Only 20 mins to the beaches, fossil hunting, pubs and so relaxing. Will definitely be back

“We enjoyed our stay in this quiet, cosy cottage, the setting is really beautiful, looking out onto the grade 2 listed building and beautiful garden.”

The shared garden was great for the kids and dog with space to run around and a patio area with seating. It is well located for places to visit, you'd need to stay a month to even scratch the surface of all the places you could go. The cottage itself is well set up, all you could need in the kitchen, a great wood burner that heats the whole house and comfortable beds. The owners are very friendly and helpful really going above and beyond. The art gallery is well worth visiting, and 2 wonderful Pianos in there.

“Hosts were charming and attentive and very helpful and understanding.”

They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Also, the setting of the cottage is utterly lovely surrounded by woods and hills and curated countryside and so is the garden. and the gallery in the main house is definitely worth a visit. Another detail which was very useful is that the garden can be closed and our dogs could be outside without the fear of any dangerous exit. Priceless

“Old School Charmer”

Welcoming fire in the wood burner welcomed us on arrival. Still fairly new conversion into a holiday let. Well equipped. Good base for exploring Dorset

About the location

TINCLETON

Dorchester 5 miles.

The tiny Dorset hamlet of Tincleton nestles in an attractive rural setting within the valley of the River Frome, just 5 miles east of the county town of Dorchester. The area was beloved by Thomas Hardy, who was born at Bockhampton, just 3 miles away, and often mentioned the surrounding villages, such as Puddletown (Weatherbury), in his novels. Abounding in lovely walks, the countryside is rich in wildlife, and the River Frome is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Close by you can visit Lawrence of Arabia's cottage at Clouds Hill, as well as his final resting place at Moreton. If you are looking for fun-filled activities for the whole family to enjoy, Monkey World and the Tank Museum at Bovington offer super days out. However, no trip to this area would be complete without a visit to the stunning Dorset Jurassic Coast, with scenic views from the coastal path, spectacular coves and the sandy beaches of Weymouth, all just a short drive. Tincleton is a convenient, rural base from which to explore this lovely area.

Note: restricted head height in the twin bedroom due to sloping ceiling
Note: the double eaves bedroom is open to the staircase, so children need to be supervised at all times.
Note: O2 is good but some mobile signals may be intermittent (can be checked online)
