The West Country / Dorset region
Explore the fossils and stunning beaches of Dorset’s Jurassic Coast, visit historic Sherborne and Shaftesbury, or enjoy the footpaths, country lanes and thatched-roof pubs Dorset offers.
The Shaftesbury / Sturminster Newton area
Set on the banks of the River Stour is the small market town of Sturminster Newton, reached via a six arch 15th Century bridge that carries a warning of deportation for those who damage it. This beautiful region is apparently where the author Thomas Hardy drew much of his inspiration and it is said that he wrote 'Return of The Native' whilst living in the town. The surrounding area is packed with thatched cottages, numerous rural walks, stunning views of the countryside, and fascinating towns such as Sherborne with its abbey and castle. The beautiful Dorset Heritage coastline is also within easy reach and not only offers great water sport opportunities but also great bird watching, making this an ideal base all year round!

Location is great - overlooking lovely countryside. The cottage was larger than we expected and had everything we needed. Star gazing with clear skies at night was a big bonus as there is no light... more |

Probably the best cottage we've stayed in, comfortable for a family of 4. Great garden and a great place to explore the county of Dorset. Owners were polite and welcoming and stopped for a chat... more |
Guestbook for 1854 - The Stables
The standard of the accommodation and attention to detail of the fittings of the cottage. One of the best we have stayed in and there have been many.

,Lovely cottage in stunning surroundings and very helpful friendly owners. All in all a great holiday. Would recommend this cottage, hopefully we will be back next year.

,Friendly and helpful owners, lovely setting. Great cottage in a great area for both walking and exploring. Although on a working farm it was great to have an enclosed garden to relax in with the dog and not worry about the animals on the farm.
Mrs Griffin, Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire

,This is our third stay at the cottage and will be booking again for next year. The peace and tranquility of the cottage garden and access to the land is wonderful. The owners are really kind and helpful, nothing was to much trouble.
