This leads through into a gorgeous kitchen/dining space, featuring a modern farmhouse style kitchen, with everything you could need to feed your fellow travellers, whilst allowing for space to dine on the dining table and chairs. Alternatively, you could just relax with the TV on or with a good book on the comfortable armchair.

Vicky
Lovely cottage, lovely area, lots of walks and very close to 2 pubs which was a bonus.
Paula
The cottage itself is lovely, warm and cosy and could be even cosier with the log burner. We didn't need it, but just seeing it makes it feel cosy! The welcome pack was lovely, very welcomed and the dogs even had their own "welcome pack" which made us feel really happy as we felt not only were they accepted but they were actively welcomed. The locaRead moretion is amazing, just a short walk and you are in the forest. Beds were SO comfortable! I have already recommended this cottage to friends! Hide

Couldn't recommend this beautiful home more highly. The house is well equipped and in such a great location. The hot tub was an amazing extra and well received after long walks in the forest. There were lovely extra touches like the dressing gowns and toiletries, a hamper of goodies and a welcome card. If this house is available just book, it won'tRead more disappoint Hide

Fabulous cottage - very clean and well presented, with very comfortable beds. Dog bed/bowls/towel all provided with secure garden & outside dog wash (warm & cold taps) were all very considerate extra touches. Lovely hamper with goodies on arrival made it feel even more of a special stay.

We had the best time at the Old Avon Cottage. Its a beautiful private cottage with a wonderful garden in a fabulous surrounding. The house and garden are both very well equipped and we felt extremely welcome. We enjoyed the hot tub, walkpaths and the pubs nearby. And loved the visit to the horses and cows. Would highly recommend it.

about 25 Miles
Monkey World is not only a local attraction but the work they carry out is amazing.  Rescuing and rehabilitating monkeys and assisting governments around the world to stop the smuggling of primates are just some of the purposes of the centre. You get to see the primates themselves many of which have become famous from appearing on the TV show Monkey World - a documentary about this place. Open year round we think this is one of best attractions in Dorset and you even get the chance to adopt a monkey if you choose.
