Charming Countryside Cottage

Charming Countryside Cottage is a four-bedroom house in Blandford Forum that sleeps eight, with every bedroom a double and a television in each. One of the doubles is on the ground floor and has its own en-suite with a walk-in shower, basin and WC. The other three doubles are upstairs, and a family bathroom with a bath and a shower over it serves them.

A spacious hallway leads to the sitting room, where a woodburning stove is the focal point, and through to the kitchen, which has an oven, hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, kettle and toaster. A conservatory doubles as the dining room and looks out over the garden. Fuel and power, bed linen and towels are included in the rent, and there is central heating and WiFi.

Out in the enclosed garden are a patio, lawn, gravelled area, furniture, barbecue and hot tub, with off-road parking for four cars alongside. The on-site estate, vineyard and games area are open to guests too. The nearest pub is 0.5 miles off, and the nearest shop 1.5 miles.

One well-behaved dog is welcome, though it must be kept off the furniture and beds and not be left alone in the house. Smoking is not allowed. The house suits an extended family or a group of friends who want separate double rooms and a hot tub, and it can be booked with a second property on the estate to sleep ten between the two.
