About this property

Creaky Cottage - a stylish detached cottage that sleeps up to 8 guests

Creaky Cottage is a stunning holiday cottage, located in the hamlet of Chebbard and close to the quaint and attractive villages of Cheselbourne, Melcombe Bingham, Ansty and Dewlish. The cottage is ideal for families or groups of friends gathering together for holidays and special occasions, with plenty of space for everyone. Wonderfully styled with high quality and tasteful furnishings, comfortable beds with 400 thread count Egyptian cotton bedding, and Hungarian goose down duvets and pillows for a further touch of luxury.

On the ground floor is an attractive sitting room with a wood burning stove, leading through to a family room with a second wood burning stove and Smart television. The property has a generous open-plan kitchen with Aga, and dining room with french doors that lead out to the wrap-around stone terrace and wonderful surrounding garden. There is a useful entrance porch and boot room, a utility/laundry room, and a ground floor bathroom. On the first floor are four well-appointed bedrooms, all with views over the beautiful garden and landscape, along with two generous walk-in shower rooms.

Creaky Cottage is ideally placed for countryside walks, and with numerous quaint villages within a short drive, there is plenty to explore within the area. The towns of Dorchester, Blandford, Sherborne, Shaftesbury, Wareham and Wimborne are all within easy reach. The glorious Jurassic Coast, including famous Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door is just a short drive away, making the property perfectly situated for enjoying all of the delights of Dorset.

This is a holiday to remember with Creaky Cottage as the crown jewel of our time in Dorset. The cottage was clean, beautiful and felt like the location was from another time. The views are to die for outside and are only rivaled by the amazing inside. Beds comfortable, house well stocked, and enough space for our two families. I hope to one day come back!
