    “Thank you for a wonderful stay.”

    We very much enjoyed the cottage and the beautiful surroundings. The walks are amazing, we had the kingfisher stop outside the window and the cider farm nearby is a bonus. Apart from a few head bangs upstairs (inevitable) our stay was very comfortable and relaxing which is just what we needed. There is one floorboard nail we kept treading on near the post in the kitchen (bathroom end) which probably needs tapping in a bit. Will definitely look to come back, a few days is not long enough ...

It has a small enclosed and private terraced garden and is set near the owner's home and was formerly the town's steam sawmill, in the picturesque market town of Beaminster. Lovingly converted and restored to retain its unique character, the property also benefits from all the modern conveniences you will require, along with a wood burner for those colder days. This attractive, traditional Dorset market town, with pubs, convenience store, specialist shops and restaurants is set in the heart of stunning countryside, with registered walks from the door, perfect for dog walkers, ramblers or trail cyclists.
