Somerset Vacation Rental cottage

The cottages provide the ideal base from which to explore the area and all it has to offer, with lovely walks and great fishing nearby, whilst quaint villages, the ancient towns of Sherborne and Shaftesbury, Longleat Safari Park and National Trust properties such as Montecute and Stourhead House are all easily accessible. A little further away lies the wildlife park at Cricket St Thomas, the Haynes Motor Museum, the cathedral city of Salisbury, Stonehenge and even the Dorset Jurassic Coast, a sight not to be missed! A great touring base at any time of year! About the area: Sherborne 7 miles; Shaftesbury 10 miles.
