Beehive Cottage
4073 is no longer with usIf you were looking for cottages like Beehive Cottage, how about trying these:
Beehive Cottage is a charming and cosy cottage, on a quiet lane opposite St Mary's church in the village of Puddletown. Surrounded by farmland, the pretty village is nestled in the heart of Thomas Hardy country and well placed to explore the rest of Dorset. The county town of Dorchester is just six miles away and the spectacular World Heritage Jurassic Coast is within a 30 minute drive.
This gorgeous thatched cottage dates back over 200 years and used to be home to the district nurse. As soon as you step through the door you will be met with a wealth of original features, including traditional cottage stairs, low lintels/beams and quirky sloping floors; all enhancing the cottage's charm and appeal. The fabulous ornamental Inglenook fireplace in the sitting-room is such a special feature. Tucked away behind a wooden door, the stairs lead to the main bedroom, with a king-size double bed and second bedroom, with a 'zip and link' which can be turned into either a king-size double bed or twin beds. The sheltered courtyard garden is a tranquil sun-trap, fully enclosed to keep children and dogs safe.
An excellent pub is a short walk in one direction and a lazy stroll in the opposite direction takes you to the village shop, for a newspaper and various holiday treats. Babes in arms under six months old and children over four years are welcome (as long as the party does not exceed the maximum accommodated of four). A travel cot is available upon request.
