The setting for this cottage, taken from the garden of the village pub. The owners live at The Old School House, which is behind The Old School Gables.
One end of the original playground has been made into a sheltered and sunny patio.
The cosy sitting-room has a wood-burner effect electric stove heater.
The well-equipped kitchen has all you need for preparing delicious holiday treats.
The kitchen and dining-area are flooded with light.
The master bedroom has a king-size 5ft bed.

The perfect place to relax at the end of a day exploring Dorset.
