Neighbourhood information

The neighbourhood The cottage is set in the pretty rural village of Buckland Newton offering a wonderful family-run pub, and well-stocked village store nestled between the beautiful towns of Dorchester and Sherborne. Rich in history, this wonderful place offers the opportunity to visit the Roman Town House and Amphitheatre, a selection of boutique shops and a range of excellent restaurants. Meanwhile, other attractions that make a great day trip include Minterne House and Gardens which feature beautiful gardens in the style of Capability Brown, while the lovely village of Cerne Abbas is worth a visit to see the giant chalk figure carved into the hills. There are also National Trust properties, including Montacute House, Lytes Cary Manor and Stourhead House and Gardens, to visit. If you want to get out and explore the countryside and the coast, there are plenty of ways to do so locally. For walking there is The Monarch’s Way and McMillan Way, while the National Cycle Route 26 is also nearby. Or head out to explore the Jurassic Coast along the South West Coast Path. The nearest beach is in Weymouth, only around 25 minutes’ drive away from the house. Around a 15-minute drive away is the pretty town of Sherborne with its historic Sherborne Abbey and two castles, one being a stately home and the other an impressive 12th-century ruin. It’s a great place to dine and shop in independent stores, plus there are regular farmers’, artisan and vintage markets. Getting around A car is recommended for travelling to the property and ease of getting around and there is parking for two cars.
