Reconnect with the great outdoors and stay in this character-packed cottage studded on the edge of the river in Piddletrenthide, a peaceful village that’s straight out of a storybook. Sleeping seven guests along with two dogs, it is an excellent choice for those who are explorers at heart, as you can discover the countryside from the comfort of your doorstep. Your holiday abode is characterised by roaring fires, cosy interiors and a garden brimming with potential for summer drinks in the sunshine. Step inside this thatched cottage and immediately feel at ease, shrugging off your coats and sinking into the sofas in the lounge, delighting in the wood burner and period beams. Pour a glass of wine and enjoy a good film or a game of chess, moving through to the dining room when it is time to eat. Cooking is a treat in the farmhouse-style kitchen with its array of equipment, or head outside for a supper prepared on the BBQ. There’s a handy snug room for younger guests to escape the grown-ups and watch TV, but everyone will love spending sunny afternoons relaxing in the garden watching the unfenced river running through the grounds. Upstairs, all four bedrooms are finished with their own unique décor. The queen size bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with a slipper bath and separate shower. Pack a picnic and navigate the pretty country roads to reach iconic landmarks such as the Cerne Abbas Giant 3.5 miles away, or perhaps you would prefer a more family-friendly sight for younger visitors in the form of Maiden Castle 9 miles away. Immerse yourself in some grisly history and visit Dorchester’s popular museums 7 miles away, rounding off with a bite to eat in a friendly eatery.
