Wise Cottage is a 250 year old cottage with a boutique feel and sweeping views over fields, situated in a beautiful village near Shaftesbury, Dorset. A few yards from the shop is an excellent playground and our award winning village shop.
The cottage has been furnished with antiques, carefully chosen pieces from our travels abroad, soft rugs and comfortable furniture to make a stay as wonderful as possible. The cottage is close to Longleat, Stone Henge, the Georgian City of Bath and the beautiful Dorset coast. We are happy to accept well behaved dogs.
The cottage sleeps four comfortably and five cozily, 2 bedrooms, 1 large master bedroom with a super kingsize bed and a small bedroom with adult bunks. A guest bed can be put up in the main bedroom or the sitting room for a fifth guest (there is not room in the bunk room for the extra bed).
The cottage includes a wood burner, super fast Wifi and garden. There is a cosy sitting room with oak dining table and chairs, a well fitted kitchen with washing machine, dishwasher and fridge/freezer.
The main bedroom has an upholstered Super kingsize bed with high quality Vi Spring mattress, high quality duvets and bed linens. The second bedroom has full size bunk beds. Polished wooden floors and carpets make up the flooring. The bathroom has an in bath shower and bath. There are plenty of towels provided as well as a wonderful organic shampoo, bodywash and handwash.. The bathroom is situated downstairs opposite the kitchen.
The garden is situated up steps from the cottage, it is probably not easily accessed by anyone disabled or infirm. It is a cottage garden, not highly manicured but with wonderful views over fields.. A table and chairs and a barbecue and tongs are also provided. There is a side access to the garden and it is fenced, so will contain a not overly ambitious dog.
The cottage has a Samsung 32" smart TV with the channel apps, super fast broad band, a small office with desk. Mobile reception is good, but patchy in the downstairs rooms.
There is a wood burner and logs are supplied in the winter for the first night (extra logs can be bought from the village shop).
The kitchen is fully equipped with all china and cutlery, pans, casserole dishes, salad bowls, a Nespresso coffee maker (with coffee capsules!) and there is a supply of tea bags, coffee, sugar, olive oil and salt and pepper to start you off. We always leave a welcome pack of fresh local bread, jam, butter and milk.
There is a local deli where you can buy excellent home cooked meals - Compton McRae in Semley.
