Outside, there is an enclosed rear multi-level garden with patio, furniture, summer house with furniture, and off-road parking for one car. Sorry, no pets and no smoking. Shop 1.3 miles, pub 1.7 miles. The Elbow is a wonderful escape to Dorset, whatever time of year. Note: There are 3 steps up to the kitchen from the sitting room. Note: There are 11 steps up from the double bedroom to the en-suite bathroom. Note: There are 14 steps up in the garden. Note: Internet access is offered at this property for recreational purposes only. Please note: The property has a Good Housekeeping Bond of £150.

Bed linen and towels inc. in rent. Travel cot and highchair available upon request. Off-road parking for one car. Enclosed rear multi-level garden with patio, furniture, summer house with furniture. Sorry, no pets and no smoking. Shop 0.8 miles, pub 1.7 miles. Note: There are 3 steps up to the kitchen from the sitting room. Note: There are 11 steps up from the double bedroom to the en-suite bathroom. Note: There are 14 steps up in the garden, please take care. Note: Internet access is offered at this property for recreational purposes only and is not meant for business use
Region: Explore the fossils and stunning beaches of Dorset’s Jurassic Coast, visit historic Sherborne and Shaftesbury, or enjoy the footpaths, country lanes and thatched-roof pubs Dorset offers.
Town: Frampton is a small Dorset village, situated between Dorchester and Crewkerne. Still very much a rural village, it is surrounded by beautiful Dorset countryside and plenty of lovely walks or cycle including the cycle path from Dorchester to Maiden Newton. Although enjoying a lovely rural aspect, Frampton is under 6 miles from the Country town of Dorchester where you can find all the high street amenities you need as well as interesting attractions including, Max, Gate Thomas Hardy’s 19th Century former house, the County Museum, and The Teddy bear Museum. Maiden’s castle, the Roman fort sits on the outskirts and is an enjoyable walk. Bridport is around 15 miles away and has a much-coveted antiques and collectables market, as well as many independent shops and cafes’. A short 1 miles drive from Bridport is West Bay, the seaside Harbour village, famous for it’s role in ITV’s Broadchurch series. As well as seeing many of the now famous locations used, be sure to enjoy local fish and chips on the harbourside and an ice cream on the seafront..
