Beautiful Rural Dorset Cottage Escape - Sleeps 8
Escape to the peace and beauty of rural Dorset at Apple Tree Cottage, a spacious country retreat tucked away in the picturesque hamlet of Sutton Waldron. Surrounded by rolling countryside, mature gardens and its own orchard, this is a place where family and friends can enjoy the rare luxury of space, peace and time together.
Sleeping up to eight guests across four comfortable bedrooms, the cottage has been thoughtfully arranged for families, groups of friends and multi-generational holidays. Whether you’re gathering around the farmhouse table for a leisurely breakfast, relaxing beside the fire after a day exploring, or simply enjoying a quiet moment with a coffee in the garden, Apple Tree Cottage feels every bit like a home away from home.
Outside, you’ll find a private patio with outdoor dining, an enclosed garden for children and dogs to enjoy, and access to the Orchard Meadow, where you can challenge each other to a game of giant outdoor chess, gather around the fire pit and barbecue as the sun goes down, or simply relax and soak up the tranquillity of the Dorset countryside.
Perfectly positioned in the heart of North Dorset, the cottage is an ideal base for exploring the area’s charming market towns, scenic walking trails and traditional country pubs. Historic Shaftesbury, Sherborne and Blandford Forum are all within easy reach, while the breathtaking Jurassic Coast offers a wonderful day out.
The cottage features four bedrooms, three bathrooms plus a downstairs cloakroom, a fully equipped kitchen, Wi-Fi, Smart TV, private parking, and everything you’ll need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Dogs are warmly welcomed, so every member of the family can enjoy a memorable Dorset escape.
Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, bringing generations of family together, or simply looking for somewhere to slow down and reconnect, Apple Tree Cottage offers the perfect setting to create lasting memories.
