Beautiful rural cottage on Dorset/Wiltshire border
Wise Cottage is a 250 year old cottage with a boutique feel and sweeping views over fields, situated in a beautiful village near Shaftesbury, Dorset. A few yards from the shop is an excellent playground and our award winning village shop. The cottage has been furnished with antiques, carefully chosen pieces from our travels abroad, soft rugs and comfortable furniture to make a stay as wonderful as possible. The cottage is close to Longleat, Stone Henge, the Georgian City of Bath and the beautiful Dorset coast. We are happy to accept well behaved dogs.
The cottage sleeps four comfortably and five cozily, 2 bedrooms, 1 large master bedroom with a super kingsize bed and a small bedroom with adult bunks. A guest bed can be put up in the main bedroom or the sitting room for a fifth guest (there is not room in the bunk room for the extra bed). The cottage includes a wood burner, super fast Wifi and garden. There is a cosy sitting room with oak dining table and chairs, a well fitted kitchen with washing machine, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. The main bedroom has an upholstered Super kingsize bed with high quality Vi Spring mattress, high quality duvets and bed linens. The second bedroom has full size bunk beds. Polished wooden floors and carpets make up the flooring. The bathroom has an in bath shower and bath. There are plenty of towels provided as well as a wonderful organic shampoo, bodywash and handwash.. The bathroom is situated downstairs opposite the kitchen.
The garden is situated up steps from the cottage, it is probably not easily accessed by anyone disabled or infirm. It is a cottage garden, not highly manicured but with wonderful views over fields.. A table and chairs and a barbecue and tongs are also provided. There is a side access to the garden and it is fenced, so will contain a not overly ambitious dog. The cottage has a Samsung 32" smart TV with the channel apps, super fast broad band, a small office with desk. Mobile reception is good, but patchy in the downstairs rooms. There is a wood burner and logs are supplied in the winter for the first night (extra logs can be bought from the village shop). The kitchen is fully equipped with all china and cutlery, pans, casserole dishes, salad bowls, a Nespresso coffee maker (with coffee capsules!) and there is a supply of tea bags, coffee, sugar, olive oil and salt and pepper to start you off. We always leave a welcome pack of fresh local bread, jam, butter and milk.
There is a local deli where you can buy excellent home cooked meals - Compton McRae in Semley. https://www.comptonmcrae.com

Beautiful cottage & location.
We’ve had a lovely stay at the cottage. It was very clean and comfortable and the little extra’s that Vanessa left for us (bread, butter, jam etc) helped us settle in straight away. Beautiful location too. We will definitely visit again.

Wise and cosy Cottage
Wise cottage is cosy and special. The host has created a lovely, warm and homely feel with beautiful touches that make you feel like you are being treated to an exclusive secret peek into old country life but with all the access to modern facilities that you need.
We loved it!

A break with family
This is a charming cottage in a lovely village. The walking footbaths are delightful. The outdoor sitting area is private with fabulous country views. Easy on off A350, 5 miles north of Shaftsbury. Anyone over 68 inches tall, take care through the doors. Only downside was need to replace a few dead light bulbs!

beautiful cottage in wonderful countryside
Vanessa's cottage is beautifully interior-designed with the perfect balance of modern and classic. A well-equipped kitchen, a delightful living room with a fireplace and a very comfortable bedroom with a wonderful bed offers everything one needs for a happy stay. Walks into nature start directly from the house, no car needed. The village is something out of a picture book. The small village shop just 1 minute from the house provides all necessities. Vanessa is very responsive and goes out of her way to support. We cannot recommend her more highly.

Extremely disappointing
The cottage is beautiful to look at in a lovely village, but our stay was ruined by the dirtiest home we’ve ever stayed in. On the surface it all looked pleasant, once we started to looking around to unpack we were truly shocked. Cobwebs everywhere with unclean windows, doors and floors. The bathroom was a disgrace with a used un flushed toilet, filthy bath……the list goes on. I immediately contacted the owner who told me she had cleaned the property herself and she offered to come and look. We were of course mortified that she thought it was clean. The whole house needed a deep professional clean. I wanted to leave but it was our one holiday. We cleaned the kitchen and bathroom which was a terrible way to start our trip. I felt uncomfortable for our entire stay as even showering was unpleasant standing in non draining water. We tried to stop paying attention to everything as it was so awful, we went out as much as possible. That also spoilt it for us as we love to relax and cook in the evenings. The facilities in the kitchen were useless, blunt knives, chipped crockery. Our feet were filthy from the unclean floors and carpets.
An absolute disgrace.

It is difficult to counter such decimating and utterly disproportionate comments. These guests had a bizarre vendetta and we didn't understand it right from the start. The toilet had not been flushed and this was the start of an absolute tirade against us. We didn't understand it at the time and were appalled when this review was posted. We have run our cottage for 8 years, most of our bookings coming from the other well known site, where we have nearly 500 superb reviews, and are Superhosts. We can absolutely assure any prospective guest that our cottage is always spotless (yes there may be a cobweb we miss) and this is one of the most unfair and untrue reviews possible.

liebenswertes, kleines Cottage mit netter Besitzerin
... auch die Betten waren gut, der Garten klein und fein mit tollem Blick über die Wiesen. Man hört die große Straße, aber uns hat es nicht gestört. Der kleine Lebensmittelladen mit Post war toll, auch der Spielplatz im Ort. Das Cottage ist alt, schön und gemütlich, eigentlich alles da, was man braucht. Ein paar Ecken waren etwas staubig, aber auch das tut unserem Gesamteindruck keinen Abbruch.

Property was very picturesque and set in a nice area. Unfortunately, dust and dog hair (which gathered on our socks) triggered 2 asthma sufferers. Very low doorways, which was a problem for my 6ft 2 inch husband! Would have liked access to a microwave and a hoover in the property.

Schönes Cottage mit Garten und Pool!
Schönes kleines Cottage mit Garten. Den Pool haben die Kinder sehr genossen.
Idealer Ausgangsort für viele Ausflüge in der Nähe (Shaftesbury, Stonehenge und Longleat House sind sehr nah, aber auch Highclere Castle oder Durdle Door an der Jurrasic Coast sind gut zu erreichen). Das Pub Fox and Hounds haben wir mehrmals besucht.
Alle waren sehr freundlich. Wir können das Cottage empfehlen!

A lovely and well set up cottage
This is a lovely little cottage and is well appointed and comfortable.
It was a little chilly when we arrived but the log burner soon raised the temperature although we did get through quite a few logs over the weekend (typical bank holiday weather!).
Vanessa was very helpful and we recommend this cottage if you're seeking a little rural charm.

Sobre o anfitrião
Anfitrião: Vanessa
Hi! We are Vanessa and Bruce and we have two children. We live in the most stunning part of the English countryside, on the border of Wiltshire and Dorset. The area is typified by tight valleys, rolling hills and huge views. We moved here from London 10 years ago to bring up our family. Vanessa organises African safaris and Bruce is a motor racing journalist. We have a huge appetite for foreign travel and love interiors - hence our addiction of making the cottage the most idyllic and inspirational place to stay!
Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade
We bought Wise Cottage in March 2016 as a holiday let. It's origins date back probably about 300 years, it is typical of the small cottages found in this area, originally a tied cottage to the large estate in the village. The views from the cottage are gorgeous, the cottage space is charming and cozy and we just knew it would be a perfect place for rural holidays.
O que faz essa propriedade ser única?
The location means that one is within easy reach of numerous places, the Georgian city of Bath, Stone Henge, Longleat (the finest Elizabethan house in England), the Dorset coast line, Lyme Regis, Roman hill forts, beautiful market towns and London is still only two hours away. Walks from the cottage are beautiful.
