Full of character with some modern features, this gorgeous thatched cottage is sure to delight!. All on the Ground Floor:
Living/dining room: Freeview TV, Open Fire
Kitchen: Electric Oven, Induction Hob, Microwave, Fridge, Dishwasher, Washing Machine, Tumble Dryer
Bedroom: Zip And Link Super Kingsize (6ft) Bed
Shower Room: Cubicle Shower, Heated Towel Rail, Toilet. Oil central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels, Wi-Fi and fuel for open fire included. Welcome pack. Back garden with sitting-out area and garden furniture (shared with owner). Private parking for 1 car. No smoking.. Say hello to Hazel Cottage, a beautiful, 400-year-old Grade II listed thatched cottage refurbished in 2023 to a high standard and ready to welcome you on your next holiday. Step through the original front door into the living/dining room, be sure to mind your head as the ceilings have been kept to the traditional height. It’s the perfect spot to cosy up on the plush sofa or snuggle in the armchair and watch the roar of the open fire in the inglenook fireplace. Head through to the bedroom where you will find a spacious super kingsize bed (can be made into twins upon request), plus a fabulous window seat to sit on and read a book or watch the daily village life! Off the living room, head through to the more modern extension that houses the kitchen and shower room. The kitchen comes extremely well equipped with everything you could possible need during your stay, whether you are creating a sumptuous meal or a light snack! Outside, you have your own section of the owner’s large garden to enjoy, with table and chairs to enjoy an al fresco breakfast or a sundowner after a busy day exploring the area.
Hazel Cottage is located in the peaceful village of Briantspuddle (twice voted Dorset’s best kept small village) with direct access to a vast network of countryside footpaths, bridleways and quiet country lanes, ideal for exploring the beautiful countryside be it woodland, heathland or riverside.
Speaking of the area, there is so much to see and do nearby, you will need to book another stay to fit it all in! Within a 10-minute drive you have Monkey World Ape Rescue Centre, The Tank Museum,Clouds Hill (the rural retreat of T.E Lawrence, better known as Lawrence of Arabia), Thomas Hardy’s Cottage, Sculpture by the Lakes and Athelhampton House and Gardens. A 20-minute drive will take you to the world famous Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove, or inland to Dorchester with its museum and Duchy village of Poundbury.
The beaches of Weymouth and Bournemouth are both within a 45-minute drive of Hazel Cottage. Weymouth has on offer its Sea Life Centre, sandy beach and traditional town and harbour, while Bournemouth has its wonderful pier, fabulous beach and a myriad of restaurants to explore. Poole Harbour, the second largest natural harbour in the world, is worth a visit as is Corfe Castle and Swanage.
