The Rambler's Retreat

Located in the unspoilt hamlet of Benville (as once described by Thomas Hardy), this renovated cottage is ideally placed for a family retreat to West Dorset. Your host provides a starter pack with essentials like tea, coffee and biscuits, but if you need to stock up on extra bits, the village of Evershot also lies just two miles away. The charming location allows you to take in country views from just about every angle, while the inglenook fireplace serves as a lovely spot for unwinding after a lunchtime walk. Better still, you'll also have an outdoor dining patio and a garden to enjoy on warmer days. We recommend having a car here – you'll find private parking on the premises.

Home truths:
*Due to the location of this home, we recommend having a car for ease of getting around. Parking for up to three cars is available on the premises.
*The cottage is spread over two floors and you will need to climb stairs to reach the double bedrooms.
*While the home can sleep up to five people, the maximum occupancy is four guests.
*Please be mindful of the low ceilings, especially in the living room.
*While the third bedroom isn’t photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*If you’ll be staying with a little one, your host can provide a high chair, travel cot and stairgate upon request – just bring your own linen.
