Pip's Hideaway is an enchanting holiday cottage located in the picturesque village of Milton Abbas, situated in Dorchester, Dorset, within the South West of England. This charming retreat is perfectly positioned near the Cranborne Chase & West Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, making it an ideal spot for both families and couples looking to immerse themselves in serene woodland walks and the tranquil village atmosphere. The cottage is conveniently close to local amenities, including the popular Hambro Arms pub and Lake Lodge, enhancing the overall appeal of this unique getaway.
The cottage has been thoughtfully designed, featuring an open-plan sitting and dining area with a striking double-height ceiling that creates a spacious and inviting atmosphere. On the ground floor, guests will find a well-equipped kitchen and a cloakroom for added convenience. Ascending the modern staircase leads to the first floor, which boasts a generous king-size bedroom, a mezzanine floor that overlooks the sitting room, and a second bedroom furnished with two single beds. The family bathroom is equipped with a luxurious sunken bath, providing a perfect retreat for relaxation.
Guests at Pip's Hideaway can enjoy leisurely strolls along 'The Street,' taking in the stunning views of chocolate box cottages that characterize the village. The surrounding countryside offers ample opportunities for exploration, with nearby villages and attractions such as the county town of Dorchester, the market town of Blandford Forum, and the breathtaking Jurassic Coast all within easy reach. This makes the cottage an excellent base for those wishing to discover the natural beauty and cultural heritage of the area.
The property welcomes infants and children, although supervision is necessary for young ones due to the mezzanine floor. Families can request a high chair and travel cot, while a stairgate is not available. Additionally, up to two well-behaved dogs are permitted for a small extra charge, though guests should note that the property lacks an enclosed garden and dogs must be kept on leads. Internet access is provided for recreational use, but guests should be aware of potential limitations in speed and mobile reception, as the owner and Dorset Hideaways do not assume responsibility for connectivity issues.
