About this property
This cottage is situated in the traditional village of Milborne St Andrew, Dorset, resting within striking distance of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. A charming cottage with an excellent garden, perfect for couples seeking to explore the delights of this location or simply looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Once in the property step into the open-plan living area, where you will find everything you could possibly need to enjoy a week-long break. Look forward to rustling up a delicious meal in the kitchen before you unwind in the sitting area, tune into the TV or plan the days ahead. Take advantage of the shared garden, complete with summerhouse and maybe enjoy a BBQ and drink whilst enjoying the summer sun. Why not take a walk into the village and enjoy a meal in The Royal Oak serving food with an emphasis on local produce Positioned in central Dorset, you are ideally based to explore all across the local area. Maybe take the chance to enjoy a bracing walk through the nearby Puddletown forest. 14 miles to the south is Lulworth, part of the world heritage Jurassic coastline, maybe hunt for fossils and explore the geological formations and learn more in the Visitor’s Centre. Alternatively head to the county town of Dorchester to the west. It was for many years the home and inspiration of the author Thomas Hardy, whose novel The Mayor of Casterbridge uses a fictionalised version of Dorchester as its setting. Maybe take the short drive from Dorchester to Thomas Hardy’s cottage. Little England is a perfect cottage for two in a quaint Dorset village setting with local amenities.
Milborne St Andrew is a small village resting between Dorchester and the Georgian market town, in the Winterbourne Valley in North Dorset. Within the village you will find a pub, a Post Office, a shop and a fish and chip shop. Within close reach is the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where you will find a vast array of walks and outdoor opportunities as well as Langhams vineyard offering tours and tasting days.

Area peaceful and beautiful with lovely village walks and footpaths. Local shop well stocked and Pub food excellent. Two things about Little England I particularly liked was everything worked and the bed was super comfy. A great holiday.

The annex is cosy and well equipped with all you need for your stay. Itâs in easy reach of the coast and many attractions such as Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove and Swanage steam railway all worth a visit.
