Just the best place ever. This was our third time staying at Cerne Abbey Cottages and every time gets more and more magical. Could not recommend staying here more. Beautiful walks all around, lovely pub food and a really good local brewery, plus everyone in the village is really friendly.

Amazing cottage, compact, warm and cozy with everything we needed. In the middle of the beautifully restored abbey and just a very short walk to the Cerne Abbas Giant, three pubs and the Cerne Abbas Stores filled with local produce and a milk dispenser.
