Ease away your stresses at this peaceful rural retreat set on a working farm 3 miles from the well-heeled town of Bruton. You’re in a great spot to explore three counties from here – Wiltshire, Dorset and Somerset. This converted barn is ideal for a couple, accompanied by two dogs. Your faithful friends will love striding out on countryside walks straight from the doorstep, then having their muddy paws washed off in the dog shower once you get back. Hang coats and dog jackets in the hall and pour yourself a drink before relaxing in the lounge in front of the Smart TV. Perhaps fire up the wood burner in the inglenook fireplace if there’s a chill in the air or your dogs want to warm their fur. If you really want to pamper yourself, relish an indulgent soak in the roll-top bath in the downstairs bathroom. On a summer’s day, fling open the French doors and sit out in the garden to enjoy the sunshine and admire the far-reaching countryside views. The garden is enclosed by a wall and a fence, so your tearaway terriers can bound around the lawn to their heart’s content. On lazy mornings, watch TV in bed upstairs. Take the lead on walks in the fresh country air in the Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, just 3 miles from the cottage. It’s also home to National Trust property Stourhead (6 miles), where you can stroll around the lovely landscape garden with your pets. Further afield, Cheddar Gorge (24 miles) has spectacular caverns to explore, as well as a dramatic clifftop walk. If you want to step up the pace, enjoy the buzz of city trips to Bath (24 miles) and Salisbury.
