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.

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. ...

If you want a cosy, quiet get away, this is the cottage for you! It is quaint and pretty, in a beautiful little Dorset village, but Dorchester and Weymouth are near by. 5 stars!
