Horsehill Cottage, located in the serene Nr Beaminster, Dorset, offers a tranquil retreat for families or couples seeking a peaceful getaway. Nestled entirely off the road network, this charming cottage is set amidst 4 acres of private garden and nature reserve, complemented by an additional 3 acres of woodland. The property is traversed by the Jubilee Trail footpath, providing guests with scenic walking opportunities. The cottage has been thoughtfully renovated with high-quality materials such as oak, lime plaster, granite, and limestone, ensuring a cozy atmosphere year-round, enhanced by wood-burning stoves and underfloor heating.
Accommodating up to six guests, Horsehill Cottage features three well-appointed bedrooms, including two with king-size beds and one with twin beds.
