The Cottage, Ilsington Lawn ~ Puddletown                email the owner

The Cottage is privately located at the end of Ilsington Lawn, an 18th century country house, believed to have been the residence of Thomas Hardy’s doctor.

 

The Cottage and garden enjoy a secluded position on the edge of the pretty village of Puddletown (Hardy's Weatherbury). A short walk from the cottage garden across the little river Piddle leads to this attractive village with its shop, pub, antiquarian bookshop, thatched cottages and historic church.

 

Upstairs the Cottage has a main bedroom with a lovely rural view, a small twin-bedded room and a bathroom. Downstairs there is a sitting-room, dining-room and kitchen, all with pleasant outlooks. It has its own carport with secluded parking and space for another car.

 

Dorchester lies 5 miles to the west with many attractions, pubs, restaurants, and a 24-hour Tesco. The World Heritage Jurassic Coast is about 8 miles away; Poole/Bournemouth lie 12/15 miles to the east, and Weymouth about 12 miles to the south-west. Close by you’ll find Athelhampton House and the village of Tolpuddle, famous for its martyrs.

 

Please note that regrettably we don’t accept children under 6.
