My cottage is tucked away within walking distance of the centre of Shaftesbury in Dorset. It's near the site of the historic Shaftesbury Abbey, Park Walk with it’s views over the rolling Dorset countryside, Gold Hill - made famous by the much loved 1970s Hovis Bread TV commercial - and the hospital. The cottage makes an excellent base from which to explore the borders of beautiful Dorset, Wiltshire and Somerset, where the countryside, walking, cycling and dining out opportunities are fantastic.

Great for couples, friends, colleagues, individual travellers or for a small family. The space is a characterful little cottage that comprises a double bedroom upstairs with ensuite facilities, plus a cosy single bedroom at ground level that has ensuite facilities too. The single bedroom leads off the kitchen, it’s really quite small, and is all the better for it! In the double bedroom, there is just enough space to set-up a travel cot as well. Each ensuite has an electric shower and toilet, I must stress that the cottage does NOT have baths. A cosy living room with underfloor heating and a log burner plus a bright kitchen complete the piece. Facilities include an oven, hob, microwave, fridge, dishwasher and washer / dryer. There is a small freezer compartment in the fridge plus a range of cooking implements, crockery and glasses. A Smart TV with terrestrial channels and wifi broadband connectivity allow you to keep in touch with the outside world. A parking space is available at the cottage and it’s perfect for cars. Large vehicles, such as camper vans, will need to be parked in a pay-and-display public car park which is near the town centre and within walking distance - this is as the lane to the cottage is narrow with a few bends. Finally, a few words of caution… the cottage is cosy and has low ceilings in some areas, so taller guests will need to bear this in mind. Those over 6ft / 1800mm will need to stoop (or adopt suitable protective measures!). Please also check out the cottage Instagram account @twolovelaneshaftesbury to get a feel for the cottage atmosphere :-)

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.

TAKING BOOKINGS FOR JULY WHEN BOOKED WITH JOHN'S HUT. Do you need to escape? To a place with fresh air and space? With hands off hosts? Enjoy life's simple pleasures in Miller's Hut, with millpond views, at an organic stoneground flour mill. Down the hill from Shaftesbury, famed for Gold Hill and that Hovis ad, it's an idyllic spot for cosy contentment. Wrap yourself in a blanket, enjoy a glass of wine by the campfire and a good book.

(IF YOU BOOK 2 NIGHTS OR MORE WE ARE PLEASED TO OFFER A 10% DISCOUNT, MESSAGE ME DIRECTLY AND I WILL SEND YOU THE OFFER.) Covid-19 Update: We have made adjustments to how we host this summer to ensure peace of mind and distance. Miller's Hut is only available to book alongside John's Hut (together they sleep 4). This will ensure the washroom is for your personal use only. [Miller's Hut is one of two huts here at Cann Mills, the other is the larger John's Hut which is equipped for longer stays ~ see the listing 'Miller's Huts Dorset (John's Hut)'. The huts are available to book together and will sleep four ~ see the listing 'Miller's Huts Dorset'.] For more pictures, take a look at: Insta: millershutsdorset FB: millershutsdorset -------- My husband's family have been milling since eighteen-thirty-two and his father started out on his own at Cann Mills in nineteen-forty-seven. Cann Mills was recorded in the Domesday Book and one of five mills within a mile on the River Sturkel, a tributary to the River Stour. We produce organic stoneground flour using French Burr millstones primarily driven by a late 19th Century iron waterwheel that is fed by the millpond. Not just for shepherds, Miller's Hut sleeps two and has beautiful millpond views. The comfortable bed is a small double dressed in a pretty William Morris design. The little cupboard is stocked with wine glasses, plates, bowls, cutlery, mugs, kettle, a selection of teas & coffee and a welcoming tin of homemade cake. A leisurely breakfast is served under the willow tree just a few steps from the hut whilst watching the ducks on the pond (if the weather is wet, we are happy to welcome you into the house where you will be able to enjoy breakfast in our dining room). We lay out a breakfast of muesli, stewed fruits, yoghurt, juice, a variety of toasted artisan breads (using our organic stoneground flour), croissants, pots of tea and freshly brewed coffee. Why not light a fire in the fire pit, sizzle some sausages on the tripod and grill and chase stars under our exceptionally dark night skies (2 buckets of fire wood are supplied for each night of your stay, any additional wood is £5 a bucket). We have outdoor chairs, rugs, cushions and lanterns for your use, so you can relax in comfort and enjoy your surroundings. The hut is not connected to water, however washing up facilities are found by the tack room including a kettle. Fresh water comes out of the taps by the tack room and porch for drinking and cooking. We take recycling seriously here and ask that food waste is separated from general rubbish, into the bins provided, as well as bottles, cans etc. Further information will be available in the hut. A flushing loo and hot shower (a hairdryer and bath sheets are provided) are situated next to Panary in the mill yard, a minute's walk (there is a torch for nighttime visits!). We suggest you bring a head torch if you have one. Although there isn't a wood burner in the hut like John's Hut, there is a small heater and blankets to keep you toasty on cold evenings. STAR GAZING: We tend to look at landscape as everything up to the horizon, but what about what's above it? We are situated on the edge of Cranborne Chase AONB, an exceptionally tranquil, deeply rural area, where we have access to some of the darkest skies in the whole country. Gazing skyward you can enjoy hundreds of spectacular constellations. With 80% of UK residents living under light polluted skies, we see thousands of stars overhead compared with a handful seen from towns and cities. From July to Christmas, you can enjoy the Milky Way in all its glory; in the winter star clusters, and in the spring planets and galaxies.  ​ You can be a novice with a casual interest or a professional to uncover the secrets of the universe. The AONB recently gained international recognition for its dark skies and is designated an 'International Dark Sky Reserve'. If you enjoy night walking, our dark skies are also good for nocturnal wildlife, owls and moths.   COOKING: If you don't want to venture out, you can stay by the pond and enjoy a meal! There is basic cookware, including: frying pan, saucepan, can opener, potato peeler, chopping board, colander, wooden spoon, serving spoon, knives, plates & cutlery. Please ensure that cookware is washed and dried up. (If you wish to self-cater, maybe consider booking John's Hut which has cupboard essentials, more room to move, and somewhere to eat inside.) The important stuff~ Check in: after 3pm Check out: 10am Please bring heavy boots if it's wet or been wet (we do provide torches and umbrellas for trips to the loo and shower, if needed). Enough wood for the fire pit is supplied for each night of your stay, if you do require more it is £5 per bucket. You can hang wet coats and leave wellies, hiking boots etc in the tin shed. The hut is well lit with two separate bedside lights, lamp and exterior light by the door. Our home is an old property and she can be a little quirky at times! If you find something isn't working properly please shout out and we can give her a gentle nudge. Please don't wait until you get home as we want you to have a lovely and restful stay. Please note that we can only offer a MINIMUM of TWO NIGHTS over BANK HOLIDAYS and EASTER. ------------------------ OPTIONAL EXTRAS: WOOD BUNDLE £5 There is enough wood to get you going for the fire pit but should you want extra, wood bundles for the fire pit you will be charged £5. KENNEL: £15 PER STAY Space for two dogs, only dogs please who can be controlled around livestock. The outside kennel is by the main house, I'm afraid we can't allow dogs in the hut.

We are situated on the borders of Dorset, Wiltshire and Somerset and have access to many historical places. Bath, Longleat, Salisbury, Stonehenge, Brownsea Island, the Isle of Purbeck, Thomas Hardy country and the Jurassic Coast are all within easy reach to explore, as are the beaches at Bournemouth, Sandbanks and Studland.

The open chalk grassland of the lower slopes is covered in wildflowers in the spring and summer months and famous for its wild orchids. We have compiled a folder of local knowledge for your use and we have local maps and a Dorset walking book that you can borrow.
