Sherborne, Dorset

Woodland Round House

Sleeps 6

3 Bedrooms

3 Bathrooms

A quirky retreat set amidst woodland scenery that oozes romantic charm. Perfect for a quiet family holiday spent enjoying nature from the privacy of the garden and exploring the Dorset countryside and coast.

This quirky, character cottage is tucked away in an enchanting spot surrounded by woodland, lakes and fields. At the bottom of the garden, there’s a babbling stream, the sound of which will soon send you into a blissful state. This magical cottage was once an early 19th century gate house and is now a fantastic place for a family to enjoy a countryside escape amidst nature. Whilst utterly charming in every way, there is every modern convenience you could need too, including an EV charging point and a Bang & Olufsen sound system. A pleasant walk down the lane will take you into the idyllic village of Nether Compton, while Sherbourne and Yeovil are only a 10-minute drive away.

Location

The neighbourhood

The cottage is situated in the small village of Nether Compton, almost on the border of Dorset and Somerset, so it’s an ideal base for exploring the two counties.

About a 10-minute drive away is the pretty town of Sherbourne with its historic Sherbourne Abbey and two castles, one being a stately home and the other an impressive 12th century ruin. It’s a great place to dine and shop in independent stores, plus there are regular farmers’, artisan and vintage markets.
