Beehive Cottage is 200 years old and used to be the home of the district nurse.
Sit back and relax in the sitting-room which has a gorgeous original inglenook fireplace with a delightful wood-burner effect gas stove.
The courtyard garden is south-facing, making it a real sun-trap. Fully enclosed, the area makes a fantastic space for children and dogs to safely explore.
The well-equipped galley kitchen looks out over the pretty courtyard garden.
The master bedroom has a king-size double bed and lovely soft linens.
The dining-room is completely separate from the sitting-room, ideal for long lazy meals.
The modern ground-floor bathroom is a lovely bright space.
You will find it difficult to tear yourself away from this lovely wood-burner effect gas stove.
A view of the stairs with the traditional door. Should you wish to use a stair-gate, you will need to place it at the door of the twin room.
This pretty bedroom can either be made up as a king-size double bed (5') or two 2'6" twin beds.
Bee careful to not bump your head on the low lintels! These super sweet bees will help to remind you to take care.
This is the view towards the top of the stairs.
The television is cleverly hidden behind wooden doors.

Beehive Cottage was exactly as depicted, very cosy and comfortable and so many interesting places to visit within 15-30 minutes. Lovely quiet location in the village square opposite the church, so perfect for either a quiet time or a visit going out and about. Plenty of places to eat out, and Dorchester just up the road. ...

Our second visit . Cosy accommodation . Made good use of courtyard during good weather . Very pleasant for two. May be considered a little cramped for four people.

Really lovely characterful cottage, very well equipped, and lovely location in the middle of a very friendly village. Great locations opposite the church so a lovely outlook too! We spoke to many people, including passing dog walkers and everyone was very chatty and friendly, and it made Beehive Cottage seem like home from home. We found loads to do on the doorstep from Thorncombe Woods and Hardy’s Cottage, to a visit to Ringstead Bay, and Minterne Gardens. For food we visited both the local Chippy, Callaway’s at Fordington Green and the Thimble Inn at Piddlehinton. Both were excellent! Really recommend both the cottage AND the area! ...

Thoroughly recommend. The cottage was in an idyllic location, quiet, very clean, lovely comfortable bed. A treat to stay in such an old property. Very well located especially for drivers of electric vehicles. A charge point was available only 5 miles away in Dorchester and from there all the highlights of Dorset were easily available within 30 miles. ...
