    What a lovely house. Parking was not an issue, one car on the drive and local non restriction parking spaces nearby. Big spacious rooms with great mattresses.

    The cottage is located in the beautiful village of Sturminster Newton. It has many little shops, restaurants and takeaways. It was a great base for exploring Dorset.

Neighborhood info

Set on the banks of the River Stour and accessed via a graceful, six arch 15th Century bridge. the small market town of Sturminster Newton is a fascinating holiday destination. The surrounding area was apparently a source of inspiration for the works of Thomas Hardy, most famous for his novel 'Tess of the D'Urbervilles' who supposedly wrote 'Return of The Native', whilst living in the town. The region is dotted with thatched cottages, rural walks, stunning country views, and towns.
