In the grounds of one of the finest 15th century country houses in England, this charming thatched cottage offers very comfortable accommodation in lovely surroundings near the banks of the River Piddle. As well as shared use (free of charge) of the owners' 3 green, 9 tee golf course, which lies beside the cottage's own garden, visitors to River Cottage also enjoy complementary passes to Athelhampton House and Gardens (open to the public) and access to the licensed restaurant for lunches and cream teas during opening hours (Sunday–Thursday in summer, Sundays only in the winter). A village shop and pub serving food are just 1 mile away and the county town of Dorchester (5 miles) offers good shopping and a host of amenities, including cycle hire for exploring the area's glorious countryside and delightful villages. Nearby attractions include the famous Cerne Abbas Giant cut into the chalk of the hillside, the Abbotsbury Swannery and Weymouth's beautiful sandy beach and numerous seaside amusements.
