The peaceful hamlet of Wardour is near the Dorset-Wiltshire border and is a great choice for rest and relaxation amidst beautiful countryside. For lovers of history, the ruins of 14th-century Wardour Castle are within walking distance. Charming Tisbury is only 2 miles away. Set in the heart of Cranborne Chase and the West Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the village is surrounded by rolling chalk hills and ancient woodland. There are exceptional walking and cycling routes nearby and the village centre boasts independent shops, cosy cafés, welcoming pubs and a thriving arts and food scene, all set around a traditional High Street. Excellent rail connections on the London Waterloo–Exeter line make Tisbury a great starting point for days out. Or head to the village of Semley, where there’s a popular pub, artisan store and café in the centre. Just 5 miles south-west is the market town of Shaftesbury. Here you can enjoy stunning views of the Blackmore Vale, a trip down the iconic Gold Hill, explore the town museum and abbey ruins, plus enjoy a choice of eateries. Within 15 miles, Visit Longleat Safari and Adventure Park, the Stourhead estate and the city of Salisbury, home to a copy of the Magna Carta within its spectacular cathedral (all under 15 miles).

Enter this attractive property, set over a single level, and you will immediately feel a warm welcome. Directly ahead is a contemporary open-plan living space, furnished with soft textures, calming colours and thoughtful touches that invite you to relax during your stay. This space offers separate areas for living, dining and cooking, plus beautiful bi-fold doors along one wall that ensure the space is full of natural light. Relax on the comfortable sofa with a book, put your feet up after a day walking the Wiltshire countryside or switch on the Smart TV and choose a favourite box set. Set into the corner of the space is a chic kitchen area with all the necessary appliances to whip up a late brunch, a picnic to go, or a light evening meal. You’ll find a stylish dining table just opposite. When it is time to rest, fall asleep in the charming double bedroom at the front of the property. Across the hall is a sleek shower room with a shower cubicle and WC.

Wander out onto the terrace with patio furniture, where you can relax with a cool drink, sunbathe, or enjoy al fresco dining on sunny evenings. During the summer months, enjoy use of a heated outdoor pool, with loungers just a short walk across the garden – please book in your daily 2-hour slots with the owner (available between May and September, weather dependent).

We had a lovely stay in this newly converted cottage and felt very privileged to be the first guests. Rosemary was a very attentive host and made us feel most welcome. The cottage is in a perfect spot for exploring Wiltshire and we did a beautiful walk from the cottage to Wardour Castle, then onto Tissbury and back.
