Rectory Coach House, Buckhorn Weston

Dorset. Sleeps up to 4

Found in the pretty village of Buckhorn Weston, on the borders of Dorset and Somerset, this lovely, semi-detached holiday cottage is located within the grounds of a magnificent Victorian rectory, now the owner's home, dating back to 1861. The cottage was once the coach house used to stable the horses, carriage and groom that the Rector and his family required, and has now been converted into a stylish, modern 'carbon neutral' holiday cottage, with solar panels providing all electricity. Inside, the well-equipped kitchen provides you with everything you need to prepare delicious meals for your group, whilst the oak-floored sitting room has a wall-mounted, flame-effect fire and opens out onto a private enclosed patio, where you can enjoy alfresco dining as you discuss your day's adventures. Upstairs are two good-size bedrooms, with fine views across the surrounding countryside from the master bedroom. This lovely cottage provides all the comforts of home, plus the peace and tranquillity of a rural escape. After a major refurbishment the Stapleford Arms Public House is now open, this delightful village pub is a 2 minute walk from the Rectory Coach House. There is also a children's play area on the village green and plenty to see and do within an easy drive of the cottage. Explore the amazing Wookey Hole caves in Wells and experience a tour around the largest and most stunning show-caves in England, beautifully lit up with amazing lighting along with a host of many other great attractions including a live circus, a mirror maze, a cave museum and even animatronic dinosaurs! Enjoy a day trip to Bath where you can find one of the greatest religious spas of the ancient world tucked away in this lively city, the Roman Baths, a must-see for history fanatics and while you’re in the area, visit Cheddar Gorge, a deep limestone ravine resting in the Mendip Hills where Britain’s oldest complete human skeleton – Cheddar Man – estimated to be 9,000 years old, was found in 1903. Closer to home is the Haynes International Motor Museum in Yeovil for car enthusiasts, as well as the Fleet Air Arm Museum, home to a huge military and civilian aeroplane collection and an interactive exhibit. On the other side of the Cranborne Chase AONB is the incredible Salisbury Cathedral that has a clock dating from 1386 and is home to the Magna Carta, whilst the iconic and legendary Stonehenge lies just north of Salisbury. Head south towards the coast and find the exciting Monkey World - Ape Rescue Centre in Bovington where visitors can view rescued and endangered primates in this open-air animal park. Wincanton Racecourse can provide an exciting day out, or if you like golf, then try out the Wincanton Golf Club 9-hole course set in the lovely Somerset countryside. Continue your exploration south by visiting one of the gorgeous beaches, choose from Bournemouth, Lyme Regis or Weymouth, each with a fabulous array of amenities and long stretches of picturesque sands. A lovely Dorset holiday cottage, Rectory Coach House offers visitors the opportunity to relax and unwind in beautiful surroundings.
