Church Cottage - Martinstown

Escape to the idyllic village of Martinstown, less than 4 miles from Dorset’s county town, Dorchester, yet with a rural feel and peaceful ambience. At the heart of the village is St. Martins church, which dates back to Norman times and you’ll also find a pub, plus a deli and grocery store. This pretty spot is a great base for walking and is also ideally placed for touring. Within 17 miles are some of the counties best loved attractions including; West Bay, Burton Bradstock, charming Abbotsbury with its sub-tropical gardens and swannery, the traditional seaside town of Weymouth, Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door. Dorchester itself has a plethora of eateries, two cinemas and several museums to explore.
Take the central door into a welcoming dining hall, with space for boots and coats, as well as a generous table, perfect for leisurely family meals. To the left of this space and up a couple of steps is a galley style kitchen, presented with care in a country style. Crossing the dining room will take you to the inviting lounge, which is complete with an inglenook fireplace with wood burner, Smart TV and a view of the churchyard to the rear. Just off this room is a charming single bedroom, and cottage style stairs rise from the lounge to the first floor. First you will come to the contemporary shower room, newly fitted in 2023. Along the hallway is a pretty double bedroom, decorated in calming tones and with its own en-suite bathroom. Completing the accommodation is a characterful triple room, with a super-king-size bed and a single bed.
Take one of the three doors to the garden, which lies to the front of the cottage. This idyllic spot is enclosed by a low stone wall topped with hazel hurdles and is furnished with a table and chairs so you can enjoy relaxed afternoons together or perhaps a sundowner.
