Gardener's Cottage -Tastefully furnished spacious cottage - perfect for family gatherings!
Gardener’s Cottage is part of a collection of 4 tastefully renovated holiday cottages which can be found in the pretty village of Buckland Newton. The cottage over looks the stunning gardens and included in the stay is use of the shared heated outdoor pool (May to September). The cottage has a good size lounge and dining room with comfy sofas set around a log burner. The large kitchen has been thoughtfully equipped with all the amenities you would expect including a full size fridge/freezer, washing machine, dishwasher and Nespresso Coffee Machine. Upstairs all beds are made up with high quality white linen, non-feather pillows and duvets and super comfy mattresses for those lazy mornings in bed. The large rainfall walk-in shower in the ensuite to bedroom 3 is an added luxury. The good size family bathroom with double ended bath is great for a long soak after a day’s exploring. Fluffy white bath and hand towels are provided. We do advise guests to bring an extra towel to use for the swimming pool. There is a further shower room located downstairs off the kitchen which allows each bedroom to have their own bathroom.
Please be aware that there is a step down from the sitting/dining-room into the kitchen and from the kitchen to the outside patio. This cottage retains its original ‘Dorset winder’ staircase to the upstairs bedrooms and bathrooms. This staircase is steeper and narrower than a modern staircase, so care must be taken and the cottage may not be suitable for some guests with more limited mobility. From the kitchen door at the back of the cottage is your own private patio with table and chairs and bbq (bbq coal can be provided at a charge) overlooking and leading onto the gorgeous communal gardens. Guests are encouraged to explore the beautiful and well stocked country garden; you’ll be sure to find a sunny spot or shady corner to relax with a book. We can provide baby/toddler items; such as travel cot, highchair, booster seat, step, bedguard, etc. Just contact us to let us know should you require anything. You can rent the cottages individually or take over more than one for a larger group booking. Dominey’s Yard can sleep a total of 18 guests, accommodated in 3 x 2-bedroom cottages and 1 x 3-bedroom cottage. See our other cottages; Poacher’s Cottage, Gamekeeper’s Cottage and Woodcutter’s Cottage for more information. Gardener’s Cottage is the situated at the right end of the terrace of cottages.
