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 principal 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 of the top of the stairs. 'Bee' careful.
The television is cleverly hidden behind wooden doors.
Situated on a quiet square in the village of Puddletown, Beehive Cottage lies opposite St Mary's Church.

We had a lovely stay here. The cottage was very warm and cosy even with the heavy frosts. The location is excellent with much to see/visit all easy reach by car. We also used the bus to visit Dorchester (limited service compared to our town) but nice to use. We walked to Athelhampton House (well worth a visit), roughly 20 minutes walk. It was nice being able to park right outside our door too. A lovely cottage in a great village. ...

Gorgeous cottage, cute and cosy and made for a very homely and comfortable stay. Ideally located for Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door, Poole, Corfe Castle, Wareham, and many other lovely Dorset villages. Lots of lovely pubs in the local area for nice meals out. Parking right outside the cottage, we didn’t have to worry about the safety of the car or where to park the whole time we were there. Would recommend and we would be happy to return again in the future. ...
