Cute, Cosy & Stylish Bothy Cottage, near Sherborne

Stylish, Comfortable & Quirky - “Top 10 Dorset Airbnb” (Conde Nast Traveller) in a “Top 50 UK Village” (Sunday Times). The Bothy is a detached stone cottage where you can share some free Prosecco on your private terrace. It is in the rural historic Yetminster Conservation Area with a thatched pub, café & shop. It is next door to a quintessential "Chocolate Box" thatched cottage. You are on the edge of the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with good access to the sea & Jurassic Coast. The space The Bothy has been very important in supplementing our pensions. It has been designed, refurbished and run by Russell & Liz since 2018. We are easily available as we live just across the lane in Bramble Cottage. We welcome you popping over if you need help or guidance. Apart from sorting out stuff guests have needed help with, we have transported guests to and from hospital and jump started a couple of guest cars. Most guest concerns can easily be sorted by contacting us by phone or in person. In these challenging times, we are trying to keep things fair and simple for all of us, namely one fixed rate all the year (Plus 15% Discount for 7+ nights and 30% for 28+ nights) and no cleaning charges. Bothy Cottage is in a delightful rural location with horses in the adjacent fields, chickens across the road and a dairy farm just up the lane. We are so happy just pottering around our home here. We want you to be warm and cosy during the cooler months (& English summer), so the Bothy is heated with an air source heat pump and a wood burning stove. The temperature is normally set at 21 degrees (Daytime) and 18 degrees (Night). We include electricity, home split kindling wood, fire lighters and home split logs for your stay. Help yourself to more logs from the store behind the Bothy, if needed. The kitchen facilities are suitable for modest cooking and include a single induction hob, microwave with grill & oven facilities, small fridge/freezer, electric kettle, toaster, filter coffee jug, etc., plus a washing/drying machine. There is a Weber BBQ suitable for loose charcoal or plonking a disposable BBQ on top. For walkers, Downs Lane opposite leads to various footpaths and access to the local Vecklands Millennium Wood (Visible from your cottage). The Macmillan Way footpath is 200 yards down Brister End. We can chat about various other places to go using your car. We are in a cyclist's paradise with loads of lanes and a variety of bridleways (Some very muddy) to suit casual through to the serious on and off road bikers You may lock your bikes in the shed. Once you are off in your car then the Jurassic Coast, the sea, Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door & Lyme Regis are some 40-50 minutes away and then there are the National Trust places, including Montecute House, Stourhead (Fabulous landscape gardens with the Spread Eagle pub for food).
