About this property
Greygles - Surrounded by beautiful views
Accommodation comprises four bedrooms. There is a sitting room with open fire, television and panoramic outside views.
The fully equipped kitchen has an Aga cooker, dishwasher and washing machine. The dining room table can seat up to eight guests.
This is Thomas Hardy country, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, just off the Wessex Ridgeway walkers’ path, set in the hills and woods of central Dorset. The Jurassic Coast with its dramatic cliffs and coves, as well as ancient abbeys and castles, wonderful gardens, lovely old towns, and even a tank museum, are all within a half hour drive.
Greygles is an old Dorset word for the bluebells that abound in the local woods in Spring.
Additional Information:
Logs for open fire included.
Two travel cots, highchair and a stair gate available upon request - please bring your own cot linens.
