Beautiful Restored Cottage in the heart of Dorset.

A stunning, newly refurbished and tranquil, Dorset holiday cottage. Old School Cottage was built in 1851, and was originally part of the village school. Nestled at the foot of Hambledon Hill, in the village of Shroton, rural rambles are a few steps from the front gate! All the landscape photos shown are only a few metres from the cottage. This is a beautiful place to stay, with a stunning review record. www.oldschoolcottagedorset.co.uk https://www.instagram.com/oldschoolcottagedorset/ ​​​​

Little Coombe

Little Coombe welcomes all couples, lone travellers and fellow pooches. Little Coombe is a totally self-contained cottage attached to the main cottage, where the owner lives. It is a tranquil stone cottage sitting by the brook in a small hamlet near Shaftesbury. The cottage was formerly two thatched farm cottages and where our family has lived for nearly 100 years! We live next door in the main cottage, but guests will have their own entrance and garden space and their privacy is guaranteed.
