Perfect rural escape on village outskirts.

Modern self-contained ground floor separate annex with heating, courtyard garden, off-street parking on quiet outskirts of the village, just 5 minutes from Sherborne. Light, airy living/dining area, kitchen (all mod-cons), TV, bedroom with twin beds, bedside tables with drawers, hanging and suitcase rack, shower room with loo and basin. A compact but beautifully formed space, ideal for short of extended breaks, well-positioned for visiting other parts of the West Country. Dogs welcome. The space Our annex is a converted outside office and garage and we have taken advantage of every bit of space! It has everything that you need for a relaxing break on the outskirts of a Somerset village, right next to the river Gascoigne, which flows through our garden. The courtyard garden is next to the road so you will see and be seen by lots of dog-walkers! We have erected some willow screens to afford a little more more privacy. Third bed would be an air mattress in the living area. We also let out our guest room (in the main house), so if you need more accommodation, why not book that as well? Guest access Onsite parking. Key-safe for if you are arriving late at night or for if we can’t be here to welcome you. A Co-op, 2 pubs, a butcher, a pharmacist, a newsagent and a chippy are all 10-15 minutes' walk from the property. Lovely countryside walks are on the doorstep and we can give you guides to suggested walks to help you to get to know the area. Other things to note Tea, coffee, milk and a few biscuits provided on arrival. We love dogs and are happy for you to bring yours but please don't let them on the sofa or beds, and do clear up after them! The space is fenced so is secure, unless your dog can jump a metre. Small dogs are totally safe. Our 2 dogs are very excitable and there will be a bit of barking when you arrive. The tv is a Wi-Fi tv with access to most but not all of the main channels; some programmes can be watched live but others not. There is an Alexa interactive voice assistant in the bedroom to ask questions of and give instructions to! Particularly useful for playing your favourite radio station. Pots of mint and rosemary in the courtyard garden for your use; sage and bay at the bottom of the garden. Down the road is a large laundry unit and we can sometimes hear it in operation but it is not intrusive. Note that we have the type of high-chair which is a little seat that attaches to the end of the table; it is not a piece of furniture in itself. There are security lights and camera in the parking bay. Please respect the general peacefulness of the area when in the courtyard garden. Not a place for wild partying and loud music!
