Dorchester Cottage | Beautifully appointed west Dorset Cottage With Open Parkland Views

1 Bedroom Cottage in Dorchester

Alpaca Cottage is freshly and stylishly presented. It is light and airy, and spacious enough for two. The cottage has stunning views over Capability Brown laid out parkland, some of which is ours and where our small heard of alpacas (18 or so) live. You would be welcome to participate at feeding time. We also have 3 rescue chickens (as yet un-named!) who are kind enough to provide fresh eggs for out guests when they are in the mood to lay! They have also been known to wander into Alpaca Cottage because, basically, they are quite nosey.
With the sitting room/kitchen, double bedroom and designer en-suite all located on the ground floor, it is ideal for those with limited mobility.
We can now also offer Alpaca Walks, which we are running commercially. If you would like to do this, please contact us for details and pricing. It is relaxing, interesting, and fun to interact with these characterful animals!
The cottage adjoins on one side to our house, but is completely self-contained with it's own front door. It has a separate outside area for al-fresco meals or drinks. Located off a private road, and set in the midst of numerous footpaths, as well as just by the National Cycle Path #26 ( bicycles are available for rent for £10 each for half a day) , this is a superb location for the active, or for those just wanting to kick back and relax.
The cottage is also close to the beautiful River Frome, which can be walked beside, or even paddled in! The wonderful Jurassic Coast is just 10 miles away, and the historic county town of Dorchester just 5 miles away, and wonderful Sherborne is 15 miles away. We do allow well behaved dogs, at extra cost.

Welcomed by the host who explained things to us.We looked out at the park land where the alpacas were which was a delight and being able to walk over to see them and even help with feeding was very special.We had a comfortable and relaxing short break.
