We offer a 2nd Annex, also, with a spacious 2 room suite, with similar standard, comfort & style. SO, PLEASE HAVE A LOOK AT OUR "LOVELY SELF-CONTAINED GARDEN ROOMS" LISTING HERE ON AIRBNB, ALSO.
OVERVIEW: A beautifully furnished self-contained annex in the garden of our old thatched home. Originally built as a victorian laundry, the accommodation has been lovingly converted, to comprise of a large bedroom, equipped kitchenette-dressing area, and bathroom with shower, fluffy towels and selection of toiletries. The furnishings are classic traditional and unfussy, with oak cabinetry, a cafe table and pair of armchairs, and antique dresser, and many designer details. The curtains are thick and warm, the cottage dark and very quiet, so a good rest is hopefully assured.
MEDIA & ACTIVITIES: The cottage has wi-fi, flat screen tv and dvd with freesat, and an extensive library of films, books, OS maps and music is available for your use. We are very familiar with the area, so can help with journey planning and finding luscious pubs. Also, a picnic hamper, rug, chairs and sun umbrella are available for days out. Please simply ask if need anything.

SuperhostOur cosy Studio for 2 nestles on the edge of woodland, yet only 5 mins away from Shaftesbury in Dorset. Wake up to bird song, go for long walks right from the door step, explore many nearby attractions, enjoy a meal or drink on the private terrace.
It is possible to have a third person staying. Please indicate 3 people when booking and we will make an airbed, bedding and towels available. There is a charge of £15 per night for a third person. Please be aware that the place is small!
This self contained, modern & comfortable studio annex as its own entrance with private terrace and outdoor space. The property sits in an area of outstanding natural beauty, nestled on the hillside on the edge of ancient woodland. The property is set in 1 acre of wildlife gardens in a quiet hamlet just 5 minutes drive from the historic hill town of Shaftesbury on the border between Dorset and Wiltshire.
We are located about 1.5miles outside Shaftesbury in a small hamlet on the edge of the woods.
The Studio has a very comfortable King size bed (5 feet wide and 6 feet 6 inches long – 150 x 198 cm), well equipped kitchenette, sitting & dining area, a quite small shower room with basin and toilet, and a walk-in wardrobe/storage. Ideal for walking holidays and short breaks. The studio is well located if you want to visit the End of the Road Festival or Larmer Tree Festival.
The kitchenette is well equipped, including full size fridge with freezer compartment, oven with grill, 2 plate induction hob, kettle, toaster and extractor fan.
The Studio is ideal for individual travellers, close friends or couples (we welcome all couples!). We're also happy to accommodate parents with babies, but you will need to bring your own cot. Please note that children need to be supervised in the garden!
There is a 42" TV with Freesat and DVD player, free Wifi Internet connection (although this can sometimes be slow or disrupted because of our rural location - we can therefore not guarantee the internet service) and stereo speakers for plugging in your iPod or MP3 Player. A selections of DVDs, games and books are available.
Outside is a picnic table. You can view the many different birds on the bird feeders, stroll around the wild gardens or sit in one of several quiet benches around the garden. Please note that we basically live in the woods, so there is no view from the Studio terrace. However, guests are welcome to stroll to the end of the garden and enjoy some views from the bench.
There is a well stocked village store only 2 miles away in the village of Ludwell, a small grocery store at the petrol station 1 mile away. In Shaftesbury you will find a large Tesco superstore and a lovely town centre with interesting shops and cafés including some very nice food shops. There's a market on Thursday mornings.
Shaftesbury is famous for its Gold Hill (from the Hovis Bread ad), it's Abbey, historic buildings and the amazing views across the Blackmore Vale. Salisbury is only 35mins drive to the east and Bath an hour north. An hours drive will also get you to some of the most stunning beaches of the Jurrasic Coast.
We have created our house and the Studio as environmentally friendly as possible. We have solar panels to help heat the water and Solar PV to generate electricity. Rainwater is collected and feeds the toilets in the house. We use environmentally friendly cleaning materials and recycle and compost. Please help by separating your recyclables from normal household rubbish. The Studio is extremely well insulated and has central heating. Please note: both the central heating and hot water are heated by an air source heat pump. This is a very efficient and low energy system but works on low temperatures. Therefore please wait 10 minutes between showers, as there may otherwise not be enough hot water available. Similarly the central heating does work on low heat, therefore please don't expect the radiators to be piping hot. The temperature in the Studio should always be comfortable. If not, please let us know as the settings may need adjusting.
What makes our place unique is the location. You will be right at the edge of the woods. Deer and badgers sometimes visit the garden and we have an abundance of different birds including Woodpeckers, Long Tail Tits, Jays, Song Thrushes and Bull Finches. You will find some wonderful walks (short and long) right on your doorstep. Yet we are only a 5 minute drive from Shaftesbury, Dorset which has an good selections of independent shops & cafés and a large Tesco. You can park free in Tesco carpark for 3 hours and walk into town from there. The Jurassic Coast (Poole, Studland, Weymouth) or Bath are within an hours drive.
We run a non-smoking property, but you are welcome to smoke outside. Just leave your cigarette butts in the receptacle provided outside your entry door.
We have a dog ourselves, so know how difficult it is to find accommodation that allows dogs. As the Studio is only a one-room accommodation, it is not suitable for large dogs. But if you do want to bring a small dog, please ask and we will consider it. A surcharge of £5 per night for bringing a dog applies. We also have a cat, Misty. She's basically an outdoor cat, but she likes to manipulate guests to let her into the Studio. You should know this if you're allergic to cats, as we cannot guarantee that the Studio doesn't contain allergens. Also if you do not want her in your room, just chuck her out and keep the windows open only a small gap at night, as otherwise you might receive an unwanted visitor.
My favourite thing about living here is that one can go on walks from 30 minutes to 3 hours through the most glorious country side and woodlands right from our door step. Guests always comment on how well they sleep here because it is so quite and how they like being woken up by bird song. You really are in the midst of nature, yet only a 5 minute drive away from Shaftesbury on the Dorset/Wiltshire border. You can walk into town if you wish. It will take you approximately 40-45 minutes through fields and woodland. Salisbury is a 40 mins and day-trips can be taken to Bath, Stourhead, Poole, Weymouth and the Jurassic Coast.

Ed2017-01-30T00:00:00ZLa meva dona i jo vam tenir una agradable estada de 2 nits aquí. Al cap d'bastant ocupat últims mesos, només volíem una escapada d'uns pocs nits. Hi ha graner és molt bonic, amb un altell encantador. Passem tot un dia allà i va ser agradable, tranquil i relaxant. L'estufa de llenya també és gran i manté el bon graner i càlida, una vegada que es posa en marxa. Està en un entorn preciós, amb alguns petits pobles prop. En suma, una estada encantadora i veurem a tornar potser quan el temps és un gran escalfador.

El graner era preciosa i càlida, i tenia tot el necessari per a un cap de setmana còmode. Sens dubte tornarem, és un lloc preciós. Lottie el gos és preciós també!

Exactament el que necessitàvem! cuina ben equipada i gravadora de registre preciós.

Ens vam anar a Stonehenge i Sailsbury durant la nostra estada i el Turó d'Or i generalment només relaxat!
Charley2016-11-22T00:00:00Zgraner va ser exactament com es descriu i en imatges. terra que envolta tenia les millors vistes, sobretot quan ve de la ciutat.

SuperhostOur modern Eco Pod is set in it's own secluded wildlife garden area, giving a true nature experience with all the comforts for 2 people. Only 5 mins drive from Shaftesbury, Dorset, and 50 minutes from the Jurassic Coast. Superb country walks! It's normally set up with a king size bed.
The Pod is tiny. Think of it as a two berth wooden caravan. It really just has the large bed, there is no table on the inside, but a small kitchen area with sink and hob.
The Pod is a small compact space built as an airtight structure that self regulates temperature and therefore is very comfortable. It's ideal for couples, close friends or one parent and child. It features a large bed (1.80m x 2.20) under a sloping ceiling, a small kitchenette with 2 burner hob and sink with hot & cold water. Please note that there is no table inside. There is literally just the bed and kitchenette.
The kitchen is equipped with all essentials including kettle and toaster. You will also find Organic English Breakfast Tea, Organic Coffee, sugar, salt and pepper. There is decking on the outside which gets sunshine most of the day (when the sun shines). A few steps up is a Gazebo with a table and 2 chairs. This is a great space to have an al-fresco meal and watch the wildlife around the pond.
There is a small cubicle with a compost toilet inside the Pod. Some people have commented that it is too small for a tall person to have the door closed. Please keep this in mind.
Guests also have use of the separate unheated shower shed with hot water.
Please note that during the Winter and early Spring the shower shed is not operating. In that case guests are welcome to use the shower in the main house.
There is a summer house that houses a fridge freezer, a small oven, two camping chairs and space to store luggage or wet clothing/shoes.
The Pod sits in it's own part of the garden, with 2 wildlife ponds. This creates a lovely, secluded garden area for our guests. You basically have your own little wildlife patch here. Ducks often visit the pond early in the morning. Look out for deer, badgers and pheasants.
Because of the ponds our grounds are not suitable for small children.
The Pod is located in a small hamlet 1.5miles outside Shaftesbury, Dorset on the edge of ancient woodland. This is a quiet area and the most you will hear is the occasional dog barking, lawnmower or strimmer. However, don't be surprised to be woken by birdsong and to hear owls and other creatures at night.
The local village store 'Ludwell Store and Postoffice' is approximately 1.5miles away and can be reached by foot, car or bicycle. The nearest pub is half a mile and the nearest supermarket 1.5 miles.

Bonica casa rural en un poble molt tranquil. Alice va ser genial a la comunicació i la casa de campament és exactament com es va descriure. Estàvem molt agraïts per l'esmorzar proporcionat i els ous de Pasqua van ser un toc molt agradable. El pub a l'altre costat serveix menjar magnífic, l'únic inconvenient era que es tanqués a les 5 de la nit del diumenge, així que vam entrar al següent poble per sopar la segona nit. Seria definitivament recomanable si vols un refugi tranquil.
Debbie2018-04-02T00:00:00ZGran casa acollidora, exactament com es descriu al lloc web. Calenta, totes les instal·lacions que necessiteu, i una ubicació tranquil·la i davant d'un bonic pub. Què més es pot demanar? Pubs preciosos per la zona, així com pobles i ciutats escènics per visitar. Recomanem aquesta ubicació per a un refugi de cap de setmana o de setmana.
Richard2018-03-31T00:00:00ZXalet petit amb encant, molt tranquil i tranquil. Un pub meravellós enfront. L'únic inconvenient (potser?) No és una recepció per a mòbils
Jeff2018-02-19T00:00:00ZLa casa de la casa d'Alice és molt còmoda i va ser càlida per a algunes nits fresques de gener. Era una amfitriona molt hospitalària, deixant una caixa de pastisseria per als nostres esmorzars i tenint la calefacció per a la nostra arribada. Ella va proporcionar una carpeta amb informació local molt útil, incloent passejades a la zona. El poble de Hinton St Mary és encantador, vam tenir una estada fantàstica, estaria encantat de tornar-nos a visitar.
Bill2018-02-11T00:00:00ZCasa rural petita i acollidora amb totes les comoditats que necessiti. No hi ha calefacció central, però s'escalfa molt ràpidament amb els escalfadors elèctrics. Els sostres són una mica baixos però això és d'esperar en una propietat tan antiga. Idealment situat a prop d'una gran quantitat de pobles i ciutats. Pub a la carretera és molt agradable amb un personal molt amable. Us recomanaria!
Darren2018-01-28T00:00:00ZPetita casa de camp sorprenent. Pub opposite i awesome. Realment tranquil. Cavalls per al trànsit. 10/10
Andrew2018-01-21T00:00:00ZCasa rural molt bona, com en les fotos, en un poble encantador amb grans pubs locals. Alguns passejos agradables a prop, amb guies subministrades per Alice a la propietat com a part de la carpeta de benvinguda. La calefacció / aigua calenta funciona bé, igual que el wifi. Un toc agradable de deixar alguns subministraments d'aliments per a la nostra arribada i la cuina té tot el necessari per preparar l'esmorzar o el sopar si ho desitja. El sostre de dalt és baix com es va esmentar. Qualsevol que estigui molt per sobre de 5'8 "probablement estigués ajupit una mica allà, però a la planta baixa està bé.
Robert2018-01-04T00:00:00ZQuina meravellosa troballa. Aquesta casa de camp és bella i Alice va ser amable de deixar-nos uns articles encantadors per esmorzar. Passem la nit al pub a través del carrer i deixeu-me dir-vos que no trobareu un pub més amable de la vostra vida. No vam voler sortir. Gràcies Alice per posar oli i jo en la seva impressionant casa de camp. Definitivament estarem tornant. X

Nestled in the heart of the Cranborne Chase, The Old Forge is the perfect retreat for those looking to appreciate the slower pace of life. The 18th Century former Carriage and Wheelwrights workshops have been transformed to create two charming two self-catering cottages with unique appeal. Constantly evolving, recent years have seen the introduction of Sam and Mabel the Shepherd's Huts embracing the 'glamping' revolution.
The Smithy lies just across the yard from the main house and was the original Blacksmiths forge. It still retains many of the original features and blacksmiths artefacts and has made a wonderful conversion with views across the village green to Fontmell Down.
It also has its own private sitting area under a Pergola entwined with grapes and honeysuckle. Accommodation consists of a sitting room/dining room with wood burning stove, steps down to a kitchen and bathroom. Steps up from the sitting room lead to the galleried double bedroom. A perfect honeymoon retreat!
Dogs are allowed in the Smithy, for £25 per dog. Please let us know in advance if you are planning on bringing your four legged friend. And please being bedding, towels, bowels etc. All we ask is no dogs on the furniture, and please be aware that we have horses, donkeys, chickens, dogs and a cat on site!
The Old Forge is situated in the picturesque village of Compton Abbas which is just a 5 minute drive from our famous little town of Shaftesbury. Walks can be taken directly from the door, up onto National Trust Downland.

The cottage that we believe was built in 1780. Set in the beautiful Dorset countryside. Plenty of local walks, to check out our stunning countryside. We are a 10 minute walk to the North Dorset Trailway. Unfortunately there is no pub in the village, we are a 15-20 minute walk to the nearest pub The White Horse in Stourpaine (highly recommend). Conveniently situated for Blandford Camp and the Royal signals museum, the Great Dorset Steam Fair and just a stones throw away from Bryanston School.
The room is on the ground floor, the cottage used to be the local village shop. Your room is where the shop front was situated. The room is very cosy with your own en-suite shower, toilet and basin. There is a little wardrobe. Window is rather low, we have provided a blackout blind and curtains. There is a fan fixed to the wall for the more muggy evenings.
We are a tiny village, set in the beautiful rolling Dorset countryside. We are a friendly bunch, especially if you have a pooch or 2. There are some amazing walks right on our doorstep and the North Dorset Trailway within walking/cycling distance.
If you have a National Trust membership there is so much to do in the area, we especially like Corfe Castle, Stourhead and Kingston Lacy.

SuperhostThe Summerhouse is an ideal stopover for walkers or cyclists who are exploring the area or for campers who fancy a break from the tent. It has a purpose built bike storage area for all your bikes and equipment. It's clean and comfortable with a mini oven, hotplate, kettle and fridge. The beds are a triple bunk which is a double bed beneath with a single bunk bed above and a pull out trundle bed. I can also provide a travel cot. There is freeview TV and WIFI.
The Summerhouse is simple, humble and honest cabin accommodation. It's clean and dry, warm and cosy. I supply duvets and pillows and towels and it has electric sockets and lighting. It's not posh or elegant more homely and rustic. But it's a restful stopover that miles better than a tent if you are weary from cycling or walking. You can use the bathroom in the main house and anything you need...just ask! I will do my best to help. We are child and pet friendly as long as you don't mind my children and pets (who are well behaved). The side gate to the garden is your entrance to the property and there are proper locks on the doors and gate so your property is safe while you are here. There are some nice places to eat locally and lots of takeaways too. We are on the edge of the town and there are supermarkets and pubs and shops all within a ten minute level walk. Look forward to seeing you!

SuperhostThe Milk Parlour is a charming thatched building in the highest village in Dorset. The fusion of traditional and modern themes in the building make for a comfortable and cosy feel. Wonderful views and walking from the village ensure your stay with us will be memorable. Our dog friendly accommodation means your four footed friend can join you as you explore the delights of North Dorset's rolling hills. Steve and Sara look forward to welcoming you.
As you will see from the aerial photo, our house is opposite the Milk Parlour but you are sufficiently far away to be quite private. We will respect your privacy but equally love to meet our guests and give nuggets of advice on the local area if required. The accommodation is open plan living/dining/kitchen with a separate bedroom. The section with the glazed doors attached to the Milk Parlour is our office and we do wander back and forth from time to time but will leave you in peace. Part of the garden is available for your use but you have your own sitting area directly outside which enjoys the sunshine all day.
The Wifi is very fast and you have access to our netflix account. There is no bath but a spacious shower. As well as the listed amenities you also have a dishwasher.
The Milk Parlour is completely self contained and when we are not around you will be given a code for the key safe before you arrive.
