18th Century Cottage in Heart of Dorset

Badger Cottage is a quaint 18th-century home located in the heart of Dorset. You’re surrounded by the tranquil countryside of Holway Woods Nature Reserve and just a stone's throw from the pretty town of Sherborne. Step inside to find a welcoming home with bags of character, traditional interiors and plenty of space for 5 guests to relax. Unwind in the spacious garden, head out on walks from the front door or settle in front of the fire - it’s bliss no matter the season. The space A quintessential Dorset home brimming with character, Badger Cottage is really as cosy as it looks. This is a proper family home with space for 5 guests throughout the cottage and gardens, so spread out and relax after busy days out exploring. Exposed wooden beams are found throughout, as well as flagstone floors and pretty cottage windows. Rustle up delicious meals in the farmhouse kitchen using local produce picked up from the market. Then enjoy it all together in the dining room before curling up in front of the fire in your living room. No matter the season, you’ll be able to enjoy views out across the garden and surrounding countryside from pretty much every room. Nothing beats waking up to the sights and sounds of nature. The cottage has two gardens to explore, one adjoined the house with a raised decking with seating. Opposite the cottage across a small lane is a much larger garden for the kids and dogs to run wild in! Here you'll find benches to relax and listen to the sounds of a stream running by. Upstairs, there are 3 well-sized bedrooms flooded with natural light thanks to the vaulted ceilings. Find a master bedroom with a kingsize bed and en-suite bathroom, as well as additional double and single rooms. Next door is a family bathroom with both a shower and a bath. Plus, there’s space for 2 vehicles outside in the dedicated bays. Guest access Guests have access to the whole cottage and gardens. Other things to note Dogs are welcome on the condition they are kept off sofas, beds and that any mess is cleared up after. They also mustn't be left in the cottage unattended. We allow a maximum of 2 dogs but would consider more depending on the breeds. The cottage is not recommended for toddlers due to the steep stairs with hard flooring at the bottom. There is also a stream running through the garden opposite the cottage which is not fenced off. The BBQ is available for use from April to October.
