This collection of three individual cottages in the Dorset countryside is perfect for large family gatherings or groups of friends who appreciate a little extra privacy. The main cottage is where the whole brood can unwind together – the dining room seats twenty and dominates the entire ground floor. Or, when the weather is nice, choose to socialise in the courtyard outside, perhaps with a barbecue. Each cottage has its own garden area with picnic benches, as well as an array of flexible sleeping arrangements to suit everyone. There’s nothing but fields and woodland around you, so this place is ideal for those looking to escape it all.

Home truths

    This home consists of three separate cottages, each with its own kitchen and living room. They all share a communal courtyard. The main cottage sleeps eight and has a dining room that fits all twenty guests. The second cottage also sleeps eight, and the third sleeps four.

    The four twin bedrooms feature zip-and-link beds and can be set up as king-size rooms on request.

    Only one of the cottages is pet-friendly. Those bringing a four-legged friend will need to keep them out of the other two cottages.

    If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide free cots and high chairs on request.

    Having a car is recommended here. There's private parking for up to ten cars.

    A complimentary welcome basket is provided.
