Set in a peaceful rural location on the borders of Dorset and Wiltshire, these two holiday properties are situated on Whitebridge Farm, which is not a working farm but is ideal for a family touring holiday with excellent walking and cycling in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Set in 10 acres along with 8 other cottages, they are grouped around an attractive grassed courtyard and were once stables for the owner’s impressive farmhouse (built in 1872). The shared courtyard is perfect for children and dogs to let off some energy, whilst the adults can enjoy a relaxing drink on the seating areas or even go al fresco and cook dinner on one of the coal BBQs. The grounds also feature a children’s play area.

Both the South Wiltshire and Dorset cycle ways pass nearby and there are numerous waymarked walks, including the half-hour Shaftesbury town trail, which leads to the famous Gold Hill, with its magnificent views. Many historic houses in the area, including Stourhead (National Trust). An hour’s drive leads to Salisbury, Bath, Cheddar and Weymouth. Visit Stonehenge, and then the ancient Avebury Stone Circle. Shop, pub and restaurant 1 mile.
