Enjoy the unique character of Yalbury Cottage

Yalbury Cottage, in the small hamlet of Lower Bockhampton, dates back
300 years and was once home to the local shepherd and the keeper of the water meadows.

Though surrounded by green fields and woodland, we are just two miles from Dorchester and there is ample car parking space.

Bockhampton was the inspiration for the village of Mellstock in Thomas Hardy's Under the Greenwood Tree, and we are a short walk from
his birthplace.

There are many other places of interest nearby, including castles, gardens, stately homes, picturesque villages and Dorset's magnificent coastline.

 
 The bedrooms

We have eight spacious rooms, in the modern part of the building, decorated in a simple cottage style.

Each room has an en-suite bathroom with a bath and shower, a direct dial telephone, a television with built-in DVD player, hair dryer and tea and coffee making facilities.

We also have a free DVD library so you can relax with a favourite film after dinner.
