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.

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.
