  • "The cottage was ideal for me and my dog."

    The cottage itself was spacious, which meant there was plenty of room for my large young dog & I easily found room for his XL crate. Everywhere was clean and fresh. Kitchen was well appointed & there was everything I needed including space for dog bowls etc without them being trip hazards. Nice to have a jug of milk and some biscuits on arrival. The bed was extremely comfortable & there was plenty of hanging space and coathangers in the wardrobe. No bath, but the shower was great & plenty of towels and loo rolls. Tiled floors (apart from the bedroom) meant I didn't need to worry too much about him coming in after a walk round the garden. There is an outside tap if you need to wash off dogs or walking boots. The garden is very secure front and back, with the added bonus of access via the garden to the owner's field which has had a nice path mown around and across it, making it a super place for an evening pre-bedtime doggy stroll, or an early morning leg stretch. Fantastic views from the garden - I was lucky that the weather was superb so it was nice to sit on one of the patio chairs & take in the view. Even though daytime temperatures were in the mid-high 20's the cottage was airy with enough cool spots for the dog, & plenty of shade in the garden. If I was to say anything negative about the place, it would be that I found it a bit tricky to find initially, & the nearest pub isn't within walking distance (for me anyway!), otherwise a great place & I would have no hesitation in returning.

Your home away from home

Dorset View is situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty with breath-taking views overlooking the Blackmore Vale - Thomas Hardy’s ‘Vale of a Thousand Dairies’.

It sits perched on a hill, 1 mile along the Wessex Ridgeway Trail from the top of Bulbarrow.

Surrounded by an abundance of nature-filled footpaths and bridleways, it is an idyllic countryside setting.

Half a mile below you will find the pretty village of Ibberton, which has a pub with the same name.

A well-presented single-storey dwelling featuring a welcoming sitting room, a well-equipped kitchen/diner, and a private patio and garden, the property invites two guests and two well-behaved dogs, ideal for a romantic break away or country retreat.

Make use of the spacious kitchen/diner to prepare and savour your meals, before retiring to the sitting room, featuring a beamed ceiling, plush sofas, a Smart TV and the most spectacular, far-reaching view.

French doors lead you outside to the patio area with BBQ and your own private secluded garden.

As sleep calls, refresh in the sleek shower room, before retreating to the well-presented double bedroom with homely interiors.

If you can tear yourself away from Dorset View, the delightful village of Okeford Fitzpaine is 2.5 miles away with its pub, the Royal Oak, village stores and post office.

A couple of miles further on you will find the village of Shillingstone, take advantage of a range of amenities, including the supermarket, petrol station and The Old Ox Inn.

It was once on the Somerset and Dorset railway line and the village is proud of its beautifully restored station.

Take a stroll around enchanted Fiddleford Manor.

Bring your own bikes to enjoy the off-road network of bridleways right from your doorstep or opt for a thrill-seeking mountain bike experience at Okeford Hill Bike Park.

Head South to the picturesque village of Milton Abbas, with its line of thatched cottages, often featured in Dorset calendars and postcards.

Reachable by car, the market town of Sturminster Newton has a variety of shops and the Museum is a recommended attraction for budding historians, covering Dorset's heritage.

You'll also have the chance to tour Sturminster Newton Mill, set upon River Stour.

Travelling into the bustling Georgian town of Blandford Forum you will find a large variety of shops and eateries.

It is the home of the famous family-owned Badger Brewery, dating back to 1777, which offers tours, a shop and refreshments.

Blandford is also home to the Royal Signals and their regimental museum.

The more adventurous can arrange a day at Gorcombe Extreme Sports, offering quad biking, paintballing and clay shooting experiences.

Further afield visit the charming honey-coloured town of Sherborne with its Abbey, two castles and gardens.

Another ancient town is Shaftesbury and its famous cobbled Gold Hill which featured in the 1973 Ridley Scott “Hovis” bread advert.

The historic county town of Dorchester is also about 30 minutes drive away.

The scenic Dorset Jurassic Coast is also easily accessible by car.

Enjoy an unforgettable stay in wonderful Dorset by booking Dorset View.
