Overview
Property code: THOLD

With extra social spaces such as the fantastic games room and the hidden-away playroom, this period property is perfect for a group holiday for all generations, with the young and old able to choose to spend time together or indeed apart. Sleeping eight in four bedrooms, be transported back in time with the perfect mix of old and new under one roof, as exposed beams complement modern comforts. With a variety of things to do, from exploring the pretty village to spending a day at the beach, there is something to suit everyone in the party – just remember to reunite for a delicious meal in the pub at the end of the day!

 

A truly magical property with character in abundance and rich in history, low ceilings, high thresholds, steep stairs, and uneven floors add to the charm of this old mill. Cleverly designed to create spacious living within the footprint of the original building, considered bespoke fittings celebrate the original features such as the working water wheel in the games room and the beautiful handcrafted four-poster double bed. Relax with a morning coffee enjoying the view from the window seat in the kitchen; gather to dine all together for sociable mealtimes; unwind in the cosy living room with the wood burner crackling, or settle in the games room where you will find a cinema area, pool tables, dartboard and air hockey. Kids and adults alike will love exploring all the nooks and crannies of the house, as well as marvelling at the river and stream running through the grounds. Just as unique as the interior, outside you’ll find a shared island garden, accessed via a walkway across the river, with plenty of garden furniture and a BBQ. Spot ducks, geese, herons, and kingfishers around the deep ponds too! Guests are able to fish and launch canoes with prior permission from the owner, and there is ample off-road parking.

There was plenty of room. The games room and the films were well used by everyone. We had pool and darts competitions every night. The kayaks and paddle boards were an added bonus.

Bob and Dee were the kindest and most accommodating hosts we have ever come across, the cottage was beautiful but the garden and back field on the river were the real benefit. We used the games room most evenings to play pool, air hockey, darts and games which kept us amused along with the wide range of DVD's as it did rain a bit ! This is a perfecRead moret location to explore the Dorset coast as right on the A31 with a wonderful farm/butcher/fish monger down the road and a pub 2 doors down. Thank You Hide

A lovely couple of nights in a truly unique cottage with plenty of history.The snowy conditions and fast flowing river meant that we could not enjoy the canoes but the owner offered us the use of bikes as an alternative.
