Rest and recharge at this delightful cottage in the picturesque village of Child Okeford, ideal for couples or solo travellers looking for a relaxing retreat. The property provides easy access to the best local Dorset countryside and coastal attractions. The village itself features a pub, a farm shop, a cafe, and a village shop for any essentials. Just 6.5 miles away is the beautiful Georgian town of Blandford Forum, set on the River Stour, with attractions including the Royal Signals Museum, the Blandford Fashion Museum, and the Badger Brewery. The historic Iron Age hill fort of Hambledon Hill and Hod Hill is only 1 mile away, set on the edge of Cranbourne Chase with far-reaching views and wild flowers to discover. There are several National Trust sites within 16 miles, including Kingston Lacy House, Badbury Rings and Stourhead, providing a variety of houses and landscapes to explore. The iconic and scenic Jurassic Coast is also less than 30 miles away; spend a day wandering the cliffs at Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove, which offer spectacular coastal views.


Enter this attractive property, set over a single level, and you will immediately feel a warm welcome. Soft textures, calming colours and thoughtful touches invite you to relax during your stay. There are touches of country style that blend effortlessly with a contemporary feel, and an occasional vibrant pop of colour in the decor. The main social space is a delightful, light and airy open-plan living, dining and kitchen area. There are plenty of windows and patio doors to ensure that the space is full of natural light. Relax on the comfortable seating with a book, put your feet up after a day walking the Dorset countryside or switch on the Smart TV and choose a favourite box set. On the opposite side of the space is a chic kitchen area with all the necessary appliances to whip up a late brunch, a picnic to go, or an evening meal. A breakfast bar keeps meals informal, while the dining table provides the option for evening meals. When it is time to rest, sleep soundly in a charming double bedroom with ample storage. The bedroom has a sleek en-suite shower room with a shower cubicle and WC.


Wander out into the enclosed garden with patio furniture, where you can relax with a book and a cool drink, sunbathe, or enjoy al fresco dining on sunny evenings. There is private parking available for one car.
