"Lovely property in a beautiful village."
Typical of Dorset. Garden is beautiful and boasts 3 seating areas. Clean and spacious. Only 2 of us but would easily accommodate a family. The bath is sunken which looks lovely but not the easiest to use. However I did enjoy having a bath for a change. Husband did a lot of grumbling!! We didn't notice till we arrived home that my husband had packed your dog treat box so I will post it back 1st class. Sorry

Your home away from home
Resting in the quaint village of Milton Abbas in Dorset is Pips Hideaway, a stone-fronted two-bedroom cottage.
Rurally set between Dorset AONB and Cranborne Chase AONB, whilst offering a stylish base for a family of four, the cottage provides all necessities to enjoy a self-catered stay with a furry companion in tow.
Park up to the front and enter the stylish living/dining room, where you can unwind after a day of exploring upon the plush sofa, before gathering around the six-seater dining table to plan your forthcoming itinerary.
Head into the quirky kitchen/diner, with hints of industrial features and state-of-the-art appliances, where you can rustle up tasty dishes to enjoy around the breakfast bar or upon the bistro set, located on the front patio.
As the night unwinds, head upstairs and be welcomed by a spacious super-king-size (zip/link) bedroom, dotted with storage, or select the mezzanine twin, bordered by lofty ceilings, both serviced by a sleek bathroom with a sunken bath.
Come morning, explore your local area, with the chance to tour the grand structure of Milton Abbey Church, before travelling south to hike through May's Wood, visit Athelhampton House & Gardens, steep in history and beauty, or immerse yourself in a fun-filled afternoon at Insight Activities, offering archery and axe throwing experiences.
Venturing further towards the coast, visit Monkey World - Ape Rescue Centre for a guided tour, head to National Trust - Max Gate to take part in an on-site event or to simply stroll around its peaceful grounds, or locate The Tank Museum and its exhibit of over 30 different vehicles.
Returning north, enjoy the breath-taking views across Sturminster Newton Mill and the River Stour, head to Badger Watch Dorset for a taste of wildlife spotting, or feel at one with nature whilst trekking up National Trust Hod Hill.
Plan your next break with Pips Hideaway as your base.
