Pineside

Pineside stands in the village of Sandford, just outside Wareham. The shop is 0.2 miles away and the pub 0.5 miles. Parking is off the road and takes four cars, which matters for a house that sleeps seven.

Of the three bedrooms, the king-size is on the ground floor. The twin and the family room, which has a double and a single bed, make up the rest. There is one bathroom, also on the ground floor, with a bath and a shower over it. The house also has a kitchen with an oven, hob, microwave and fridge, a dining room, a sitting room and a snug. The house has gas central heating, a TV and WiFi, and fuel, power, bed linen and towels are in the rent.

A travel cot, booster seat and stairgate can be provided on request, and the stairs are open-tread, so take care. Two well-behaved pets are welcome, and more can be requested, which may carry an additional charge. A good-housekeeping bond is payable. Smoking is not allowed.

The house suits a family or two couples who want a ground-floor bedroom, with the king-size and the bathroom on the same level, and room to park several cars.
