While the hot tub will be available starting in September, the property is pet-friendly, allowing one well-behaved dog to join the family vacation. However, it is important to note that the cottage is not suitable for elderly or infirm guests due to its steep location and the need for supervision of children when outside. A Type 2 electric car charging point is also available for a flat fee of £30 during your stay, adding convenience for those traveling with electric vehicles.
The charming town of Shaftesbury is known for its breathtaking views and historical architecture, making it a delightful destination for visitors.

In addition to the local sights, visitors can venture to nearby attractions such as Larmer Tree Gardens, Longleat Safari and Adventure Park, and the Royal Bath and West Showground. With opportunities for fishing and outdoor adventures readily available, Hillside serves as a perfect base for exploring the natural beauty and cultural richness of the area, ensuring a memorable family holiday experience.
