Lynchets

Dorchester, Dorset

Lynchets, located in Dorchester, Dorset, is a beautifully transformed holiday home that accommodates up to four guests, including those with disabilities, making it an ideal retreat for families. The property is part of a collection of five cottages surrounding a charming shared courtyard garden, which has been meticulously designed to ensure tranquility and privacy for all visitors. Guests can enjoy the presence of farm animals nearby, as the original farmyard and barn have been restored, enhancing the rustic charm of the setting. A wheelchair-accessible boardwalk leads from the courtyard through picturesque farmland to the riverbank, which is situated in a Site of Nature Conservation Interest, perfect for peaceful picnics amidst stunning landscapes and wildlife.

The interior of Lynchets boasts a generous open-plan living area that combines comfort and accessibility. The well-equipped kitchen features rise and fall worktops, along with accessible cupboards and appliances, catering to the needs of all guests. The sitting area is designed for relaxation, complete with a wood-burning stove and television, while the dining space accommodates family meals with a table and chairs. High ceilings with exposed trusses create a spacious atmosphere, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the cottage.

Accommodations include two thoughtfully designed bedrooms: a master bedroom with a 6' super-king size bed and an en-suite bathroom, and a separate twin bedroom featuring two 3' profiling beds. The large en-suite wet room is equipped with an overhead and adjustable shower, wash basin, and WC, all fitted with support rails to ensure ease of use. Outside, guests can enjoy a small terrace with a garden table, bench, and chairs that overlook the lovely courtyard garden, providing a serene spot to unwind.

As part of Wraxall Yard, Lynchets is surrounded by four additional cottages—Kittwhistle, Ladymeade, Clementine, and Lookout—ideal for larger gatherings of friends or family. A large shared room and kitchen can be reserved for communal meals and gatherings, provided that three or more cottages are booked together, although the site is not suited for loud parties due to its peaceful ambiance. The village itself is rich in history, centered around a small chalk stream and featuring the Grade I listed St Mary’s Church, with evidence of medieval farming still visible today.
