Description
Believed to date back to the 15th century, this delightful Grade II listed thatched cottage with enclosed garden is located in the historic Dorset village of Tolpuddle. Adjoining another property and renovated to a high standard, Cob Cottage offers unusually spacious accommodation with period features including a large inglenook fireplace, oak beams and antique furniture, alongside modern comforts such as an electric range cooker, digital TV, power showers and wi-fi internet access.
Tolpuddle is famed for its martyrs, now commemorated by a museum in the village. The tree under which they were said to have met stands opposite the cottage. The village has a church dating back to the 12th century and a public house with restaurant serving food throughout the day (seafood and local organic produce a speciality). Tolpuddle serves as a central base for exploring both the Dorset countryside and the beaches which line the nearby heritage coastline – the nearest beaches lie just nine miles away. Close by is Athelhampton House and Gardens, a stone-built Grade I listed Tudor manor house surrounded by acres of deer park. A few miles further west is the pretty cottage in which the author Thomas Hardy was born and grew up (now maintained by the National Trust). The splendid market town of Dorchester is just eight miles away and offers a number of sites to visit including the Maumbury Rings where Gladiators fought in Roman times and the Iron-age earthwork at Maiden Castle as well as the Dinosaur and the Teddy Bear Museums. Shop/P.O. 2 miles, pub 250 metres. Step to entrance. Spacious beamed living room with open fireplace, solid oak floor, TV and DVD. Dining room with wood-burning stove, solid oak floor, TV and DVD.

With a wide and varied selection of cottages and holiday lets in Dorset Go2 offers you the ideal way to make the most of your break in this beautiful and largely unspoilt county, where there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Dorset’s Jurassic Coast is a World Heritage Site, with dramatic coves and stunning cliffs, topped by the South West Coast Path, which offers some wonderful views. Here you’ll find characterful seaside towns like Swanage and Lyme Regis as well as the wide sweep of Weymouth Beach. If you’re looking for somewhere more lively, then Bournemouth won’t disappoint. This is one of Britain’s most popular resorts and has attractions and entertainments in abundance. Nearby Poole is quieter, but still has much to offer. Try and make the trip to Brownsea Island, a fabulous nature reserve here. Inland on your holiday in Dorset you can enjoy the rolling hills that are so characteristic of the county and explore what has become known as “Thomas Hardy Country”.
The county town of Dorchester, with its High Street lined with 17th and 18th Century houses, is little changed from Hardy’s day, while the pretty town of Shaftesbury has been used as a location in countless films set in Olde England.
