About this property

This Sturminster Newton holiday cottage features two charming bedrooms under the eaves, both boasting wonderful views across the surrounding unspoilt countryside. There is also a good-sized family bathroom, with both a bath and a separate shower cubicle.

Outside, there is an enclosed private garden, the perfect place for sitting out, relaxing and breathing in fresh country air. Set in a really wonderful "get away from it all" location, visitors can stroll along the rural footpaths leading right from the doorstep of this lovely Dorset holiday cottage. Explore the many nearby fascinating towns, such as ancient Sherborne, hilltop Shaftesbury, Thomas Hardy's beloved Dorchester, and of course the attractive nearby market town of Sturminster Newton, alternatively take the short drive south and venture along the stunning Dorset Jurassic Coast. A superb 'home from home' holiday base for exploring Dorset, offering something for all the family, at any time of the year.

Set on the banks of the River Stour and reached via a graceful, six arch 15th Century bridge - carrying a warning of deportation for those who damage it - the small market town of Sturminster Newton is a fascinating holiday destination. The surrounding area was apparently a source of inspiration for the works of Thomas Hardy, most famous for his novel 'Tess of the D'Urbervilles' who supposedly wrote 'Return of The Native', whilst living in the town.
