Monthly Rentals in Sutton Waldron

A cosy little English cottage as described by Katie. Lovely gardens with spring blooms. Katie provided very clear instructions to get to the cottage, cannot go wrong. Left great recommendations to local sights; we love Stourhead and even managed to squeeze in Salisbury and Stonehege for a day. Wished we stayed longer.

We loved staying at The Barn. We were between house moves so needed a homely place to stay for a while with our dog and cat. We found the property easily using directions given to us by Rosie our host. She was flexible with our arrival time and an excellent host throughout our stay. The property was exactly as shown in the photos and in excellent condition. Not being on holiday, we found it very comfortable as a home to do everyday things. The supermarket and Shaftesbury town are only a 10 minute drive, as is a Launderette. We could walk our dog along a Bridle Path near to The Barn which takes you past fields with sheep and their lambs, which was lovely, and further on you can go up a hill to get a panoramic view of Shaftesbury in the near distance. We visited Duncliffe Woods in East Stour to see the bluebells in full bloom and a dog friendly pub at East Stour called The Kings Arms which serves excellent food and a wonderful Carvery. We would definitely recommend The Barn as a rental.

We booked an extended stay while our house was undergoing some renovations. The amount of space was amazing. It allowed us both to work during our stay. Loved the gardens. There were quite a few people coming through the garden, which was fine, they were all friendly, but just as a note. Also the gardener turned up with no advance warning - although it is stated in the house guide that it is possible, it was not mentioned he would stay for 4 hours and then return two days later. So a good thing to be aware of, as you can opt to change the date of the gardeners visit. We had a great stay and loved the house. Location was very peaceful, but easy access to all Dorset has to offer.

We loved our stay at the cottage and could have stayed longer. The wee courtyard space was lovely to relax in when we got back from days out. We had dinner out at The White Horse, Cricketers and Talbot -all very good. Also would recommend The Writer's Block cafe for lunch or coffee and cake not far from the cottage. The village store is well stocked and has easy to cook at home meals .The cottage is very comfortable and kitchen well equipped. We appreciated the welcome pack of milk, juice , coffee/tea and biscuits. There are loads of walks in the area and Iwerne Minster is convenient for visiting RSPB Arne , Durdle Door and the S W Coastal Path. We also took a trip to Brownsea Island and enjoyed a whole day there as well as Kingston Lacy on another day Definitely recommend a stay in Jasmine Cottage if planning to visit Dorset. So many things to do in the area.
