A beautiful setting and so peaceful. The remoteness down twisty lanes lovely for adults but a bit too long a drive from things for young children. Still we had three great days out to Monkey World, Moors Valley Country Park and Farmer Palmer's farm. The garden is lovely to relax in and nearby Sturminster Newton has great play area and tea shop.

Thanks Ann for a lovely review. Glad you enjoyed the large private garden, and the conservatory space for summer evening dining. Good to know you had the weather to take some local day trips with your family. And Thank you for leaving the cottage in good condition.

Nothing short of idyllic - Vintage charm and Cosy Interiors

Our Christmas week at 3 Mafeking Terrace was nothing short of idyllic. Nestled in the picturesque village of Woolland in Dorset, the cottage's vintage charm and cosy interiors, complete with warm log fires and a well-stocked kitchen, provided a perfect festive retreat. The warm, inviting atmosphere was enhanced by the scenic countryside, offering a tranquil backdrop for a truly relaxing holiday. The cottage balanced rustic appeal with modern comforts, making it an ideal getaway. From the nostalgic decor to the serene surroundings, our stay was a delightful experience that left us refreshed and full of cherished memories. We had a varied age range from 5 - 70 years and it met the needs of everyone. The beautiful garden was a wonderful place for the children to play whilst also being a delightful spot to sit and drink a cup of tea and soak in the countryside. We can't wait to visit again.

Prachtig ruim huis in schitterende omgeving

We zijn een week in dit huis verbleven. Het huis is heel mooi, van alle gemakken voorzien. Bij mooi weer buiten zitten en eten en bij minder mooi weer in de serre. De keuken was heel ruim en alle keukenspullen die je nodig hebt zijn ruim aanwezig. De bedden zijn prima. De omgeving was prachtig, heel rustig. Een aanrader!
