We are in a hamlet of 8 houses, set in 16 acres of natural land, between two villages with a farm shop, two village shops and a choice of pubs. There are more pubs and restaurants within driving distance. We have a tennis court, swimming pool and outdoor hot tub. There is a newly converted barn opposite the house. (not quite finished).
The saltwater pool is air source heated and easily reaches 30 degrees when the weather is good. The tennis court has beautiful views from it and it set in a large garden.
We can sleep 10 but please note that 2 people would be on a sofa bed in the snug with a loo next door.
Beaches are less than an hour away, Longleat is half an hour, Shaftesbury, our very pretty town, is 10 minutes away, with a farmers market every week.
With ground source heating, the house is warm and cosy, and cool in the summer as the thatch and thick stone walls keep it that way. There is a huge fire place on wintery evenings and no shortage of logs which are just outside the front door and come from the field. Tables, chairs, an out door sofa a chiminea, and a gas barbeque outside provide for dining al fresco. The outhouse is currently being converted into a games room with a pingpong table or pool table (undecided!) and tv
A cleaning fee of £50 has become a necessity at the end of visits (we do airbnb also). Please do get in touch and hopefully we can created happy holidays!
