Dovehayes Cottage - sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms
Located between Mere and Wincanton, Bourton is a pretty village in North Dorset sitting close to the border with Somerset. Dovehayes Cottage is a pretty period property, and it sits down a quiet lane in the village centre, just a few minutes' walk from a good pub, and a garage with shop and post office. Surrounded by many popular places to visit, quaint villages and a choice of market towns, Dovehayes Cottage is ideally situated for a memorable break. Your charming holiday home offers off-road parking, a pretty sheltered garden, and delightful cosy accommodation.
On arrival you enter the cottage through the barn-style door directly into the gorgeous hand-built kitchen, with its feature Aga and central dining table. Enjoy rustling up tasty meals and snacks, and relaxing around the kitchen table enjoying quality time together, before settling down on the comfortable sofas in the sitting room where you will find the Smart television and wood burning stove. A large hallway leads through to the ground-floor cloakroom, and to the cottage staircase framed with attractive prints.
On the first floor you will find the two splendid bedrooms. The impressive king-size bedroom is delightful, with high ceilings and exposed beams adding to the cottage's unique charm. Along the first-floor hallway is a generous second bedroom with views of the garden, which can be configured either as a twin or double bedroom upon request. A family bathroom which includes a bath and separate walk-in shower completes the first-floor accommodation.
Outside, the enclosed garden has a spacious, sheltered terrace furnished with a comfortable seating area perfect for al fresco dining or relaxing whilst enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
When you stay at this special cottage, you will have plenty of things to see and do, and a plethora of places to visit. In particular, a visit to nearby Stourhead, with its stunning lakes and gardens is highly recommended. The popular towns of Frome, and Bruton are very close by, as are the Hauser & Wirth Gallery and The Newt. Wells and Bath are a pleasant drive away, and Longleat, Stonehenge and Salisbury are all within reach, with the nearby A303 enabling easy access to all. A holiday or break at Dovehayes Cottage ensures that you will be spoilt for choice when deciding which county to explore further, be it Dorset, Somerset or neighbouring Wiltshire.
Additional Information:
One small well-behaved dog welcome (additional charge).
Children and infants welcome. Highchair and travel cot available on request (please provide your own cot linen).
Bedding is non-feather.
Off-road parking for one car.
Please note, there is additional unrestricted parking next to the cottage on the quiet street.
