Amenities: Central heating. Electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, washing machine, slimline dishwasher, coffee maker. TV, radio, WiFi. Fuel and power inc. in rent. Bed linen and towels inc. in rent. Roadside parking available. Enclosed, multi-level rear garden with patio, lawn, and furniture. One well-behaved pet welcome. Sorry, no smoking. Shop 0.1 mile, pub 0.3 miles, river 0.3 miles. Note: Steps up to lawn in garden.
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: The friendly village of Puddletown is found beside the quaintly-named River Piddle, 4 miles east of the county town of Dorchester. Famously named Weatherbury by Thomas Hardy in his novels Far From The Madding Crowd, and Under The Greenwood Tree, Puddletown was in fact home to the Hardy family, and his parents are buried in the churchyard. The village is served by a well-stocked shop, whilst the pub serves good food and local ales. The countryside around Puddletown abounds in lovely walks and is dotted with pretty villages, including Tolpuddle, most well known for the origin of the Trade Union movement. Close by, Athelhampton House and Kingston Maurward House and gardens are well worth a visit. Just a short drive takes you to the scenic Jurassic coast, offering sandy beaches at Weymouth, rugged Portland and stunning walks along the coastal path. Puddletown makes a lovely Dorset village base from which to explore this most beautiful area.
