About this property

Pippins has been carefully decorated to enhance the character features of the cottage. The property has a cosy sitting and dining room for you to sit and unwind and two comfortable bedrooms continue the theme of the cottage upstairs which are accessed via cottage style stairs. The generous beautiful garden is the perfect quiet space to sit and unwind with views across some of Dorset's stunning rural landscapes.

Pippins is perfectly located for country walks and whether you are a birder or twitcher it is idea for bird watching. The surrounding villages have a beauty of their own and you can imagine why Thomas Hardy was inspired to write such wonderful literature from this part of the County.

Yeovil, Sherborne or Dorchester are all within a 10-mile drive, they all have many places of historical interest to visit as well as an abundance of shops. A visit to the Fleet Air Arm Museum at Yeovilton is a great day out for adults and children. Street which is famous for its outlet village selling cut price designer clothes and shoes is a relatively short car journey from the cottage. Weymouth with its famous golden sands lies approximately 18 miles from Pippins.

This romantic rural cottage in Holywell is ideally placed for walking and enjoying the fresh air during your holiday.

A trip to Dorset is not complete without visiting the county town of Dorchester, steeped in Roman history with its Roman roads, you will also find, museums and a wide selection of pubs and restaurants. Walk around Maiden Castle, the largest hillfort in England, or visit the County Museum which has a room devoted to Thomas Hardy, born just two miles away in Bockhampton. Just seven miles away are the glorious gently shelving beaches and picturesque harbour of Weymouth, and the rugged peninsula of Portland, linked to the mainland by Chesil Beach, part of the breathtaking World Heritage Coastline. In fact, you’ll find yourself so intoxicated by Dorset’s magic spell, you won’t want to return home at the end of your stay!

    We find it very clean and comfortable. It’s a really good location for exploring. Although there is a train at the back of property, there is no noise from it. We would like to stay again!

    Although it's close to the railway and main road, we heard nothing from the former and only distant traffic from the latter. Being close to Dorchester, the location works well for most of Dorset. There's an interesting Emporium only a mile or two south on the A37 for those who like browsing vintage and antique items. Thanks to our hosts for the Sicilian lemonade and Moores Dorset Ginger Biscuits.
