Gardener’s Cottage is part of a collection of 4 tastefully renovated holiday cottages which can be found in the pretty village of Buckland Newton. The cottage has a good size lounge and dining room with comfy sofas set around a log burner. The large kitchen has been thoughtfully equipped with all the amenities you would expect including a full size fridge/freezer, washing machine, dishwasher and Nespresso Coffee Machine. Upstairs all beds are made up with high quality white linen, non-feather pillows and duvets and super comfy mattresses for those lazy mornings in bed. The large rainfall walk-in shower in the ensuite to bedroom 3 is an added luxury. The good size family bathroom with double ended bath is great for a long soak after a day’s exploring. Fluffy white bath and hand towels are provided. We do advise guests to bring an extra towel to use for the swimming pool. There is a further shower room located downstairs off the kitchen which allows each bedroom to have their own bathroom. Please be aware that there is a step down from the sitting/dining-room into the kitchen and from the kitchen to the outside patio. This cottage retains its original ‘Dorset winder’ staircase to the upstairs bedrooms and bathrooms. This staircase is steeper and narrower than a modern staircase, so care must be taken and the cottage may not be suitable for some guests with more limited mobility. From the kitchen door at the back of the cottage is your own private patio with table and chairs and bbq (bbq coal can be provided at a charge) overlooking and leading onto the gorgeous communal gardens. Guests are encouraged to explore the beautiful and well stocked country garden; you’ll be sure to find a sunny spot or shady corner to relax with a book. We can provide baby/toddler items; such as travel cot, highchair, booster seat, step, bedguard, etc. Just contact us to let us know should you require anything. You can rent the cottages individually or take over more than one for a larger group booking. Dominey’s Yard can sleep a total of 18 guests, accommodated in 3 x 2-bedroom cottages and 1 x 3-bedroom cottage. See our other cottages; Poacher’s Cottage, Gamekeeper’s Cottage and Woodcutter’s Cottage for more information. Gardener’s Cottage is the situated at the right end of the terrace of cottages.
We had a 5 night stay at the Gardeners Cottage. Adele was incredibly helpful and gave us lots of information and was able to provide recommendations beforehand for some activités we wanted to book. The cottages were easy to find and just as described, they had everything we needed and more, including an age appropriate selection of toys for our children. We loved the thoughtful touches of milk, butter, bread and a homemade cake. The grounds are stunning and we loved exploring them (even in the rain), the children’s play area was really enjoyed as was the short cut to the pub for dinner. Adele and Nigel have a faultless holiday let and I really hope we can find an excuse to return.
The village of Buckland Newton is a quintessential English country village, which benefits from an excellent village store, church, play park and the local pub, The Gaggle of Geese, located just 300 yards from the cottage. It is very family friendly and serves good pub grub. Dominey's Yard is the perfect location to explore the local area and even has a footpath leading straight out into the countryside beyond - perfect for a day’s exploring. So, no need to get in the car and drive anywhere. If you want to explore further afield then
the village is equal distance from the attractive town of Sherborne in the north and the county town of Dorchester in the South.
There is lots to see and do in the surrounding area with country homes, museums, wildlife attractions and the famous Jurassic Coast and beaches are just a 30-minute drive from the cottages. The historic harbour town of Weymouth is well worth a visit and has many attractions for all types of weather, including a great sandy beach with old fashioned seaside attractions such as Punch and Judy.
The county town of Dorchester (about 10 miles away from us) has numerous museums to visit, along with many options for eating out and 2 cinemas to choose from.
The beautiful and historic market town of Sherborne (about 10 miles away from us) is home to Sherborne Abbey, Castle (the former home of Sir Walter Raleigh) and Gardens. The town itself has a wide range of individually owned shops, boutiques and antique shops to while away the afternoon.
Iconic Corfe Castle, Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door are in easy reach for a full day out exploring the delights that Dorset has to offer!
We have a car park for guests which is free of charge. There isn't really any local transport so you will need a car to get around. The nearest train station is either in Sherborne or Dorchester - both about 10 miles away.
自我介绍
My husband, Nigel, and I run Dominey’s Yard and love living in such a pretty part of Dorset. “Having spent 10 years owning a large holiday cottage business in Cornwall, we have a wealth of experience and knowledge in providing a perfect holiday setting for guests to relax, feel at home and make wonderful memories. We live in the grounds of Dominey’s Yard and are on hand, but not intrusive, for any advice on places to visit and things to do or just a chat. We are more than happy to arrange anything from our own Land rover pickup service for tired walkers to delicious home-made cakes and bakes to enjoy during your stay – our ethos is: “Just ask and if we can we will!” When we are not working in the gardens or cleaning the cottages, Nigel can be found on the golf course and I can be found baking cakes or out walking in the stunning countryside.
