Thatch Cottage is a traditional chocolate-box, thatched cottage with beautiful large gardens, tucked off the road with spectacular countryside views.
Located in the quiet village of Buckland Newton, between Sherborne and Dorchester, this quaint bolthole promises to be that wonderful holiday to Dorset that you have been dreaming of.
This charming accommodation is set over two floors and is full of character with original features and exposed beams, complemented by plush furnishings to ensure a welcoming space to return to at the end of each day.
Enter through the front door into the sitting room, where you can look forward to snuggling up on the sofa and getting lost within a good book, whilst the open fire crackles in the background.
A traditional kitchen with dining area set off with a tiled floor comes complete with everything you could possibly need to create a delicious meal, which can be enjoyed within the separate dining room.
There is a spacious conservatory with far-reaching views across the meadows, with two sofas and a TV, offering an alternative space for the family to relax.
As the evening draws to a close, look forward to catching your rest within one the three well-presented bedrooms, each boasting plush furnishings and plenty of storage space.
The ground-floor double bedroom has wonderful countryside views, chairs, and table, perfect for additional family members wanting additional space to relax.
Adjacent to this room is the family bathroom with shower over bath, basin, and WC.
Climbing the stairs will bring you to two bedrooms where you can relax and unwind after a busy day exploring Dorset, comprising of one twin bedroom and one double bedroom, boasting stunning countryside views has the benefit of its very own en-suite.
Step outside into the substantial sized gardens, with a lovely country outlook, a small stream running along one side of the garden, outdoor furniture, and a wooden swing for the children, this is the perfect place to sit back and relax.
Thatch Cottage accepts two small or one medium well-behaved dogs, so you can bring your pets on holiday with you and enjoy long country walks with them.
The nearby village of Buckland Newton is well-served by a small local village shop and the Gaggle of Geese pub, where both children and dogs are very welcome.
Alternatively, a scenic drive will take you north to the ancient market town of Sherborne with its wide range of independent shops, historic buildings, cultural events, and festivals.
Travelling south will take you to the ancient roman town of Dorchester, the county town of Dorset.
Dorchester has some of the country’s best-preserved Roman remains, a beautiful river walk, and a good selection of tearooms and coffee shops for you to watch the world go by in.
Further afield you have Weymouth with its perfect sandy beach, promising to be a great family day out, whether you are lazing on the sands or walking the sublime coastline.
Thatch Cottage is the ideal property for your holiday providing a relaxing retreat in a countryside setting where you can escape from reality and reconnect with loved ones.

Frans B., Jun 2024, Netherlands 🇳🇱
Mooi gelegen, geweldige tuin, gezellig ingericht,
Volgens de omschrijving lijken er 2 badkamers te zijn waar je kunt douchen, dat kan echter alleen beneden. De badkamer en suite op de verdieping heeft alleen een bad.
De wifi was zwak, eigenlijk alleen redelijk in de serre, waar een mobiele hotspot lag.
Dus geen vast internet in het huis.

Pretty cottage with a lovely garden. There were a few things that would improve the stay. Needed one big saucepan. Some basic soap in the bathrooms. The WiFi was extremely weak which was disappointing.
Saying this it was a lovely homely cottage.
