Cottage to rent in Blandford Forum (7.5mls SW), Dorset

Accommodation details

Arrange an exciting group holiday to this spacious end-of-terrace cottage in Milborne St Andrew, between Dorchester and Blandford Forum. Ideal for two or three families together, or a party planning a special celebration, the property welcomes 12 guests across six bedrooms. Set out on walks through picturesque countryside and plan days out to the coast.

Take two happy hounds with you if you wish. Step into the attractive home to find a unique blend of period character and boutique hotel-style decor. Wander into the lounge to watch TV and bask in the glow of the wood burner-effect gas fire, within an impressive inglenook fireplace. Those wishing to watch something different or play a game can enjoy the snug opposite.

The open-plan kitchen/diner is a great space for cooking, dining and relaxing together. Sliding glass doors open on to the garden for seamless indoor-outdoor living. Find a utility room and WC at the ground-floor level. Two staircases lead up to the first-floor accommodation, which includes the family bathroom, with a free-standing bath; a king-size and a double bedroom, each with an en-suite shower room; and another double bedroom.

Follow a narrow staircase up to the second floor where a double bedroom, bunk room and twin are located, together with a shower room. There is some restricted head height here. Light the BBQ or gather around the firepit in the enclosed garden on fine evenings. Find off-street parking for two cars with the property and additional parking on the road, subject to availability.

Plan group excursions into the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Head 7.5 miles to Blandford Forum or 9 miles to Dorchester to browse colourful shops or eat out. Drive 13 miles to the spectacular Jurassic Coast, to swim at Lulworth Cove and see the famous Durdle Door.
