While staying at one of these two holiday cottages Dorset and its many attractions can be explored. They are situated just two miles from Sherborne, an historic market town in north-west Dorset near the border with Somerset. The countryside around here was the setting for Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles - with Sherborne renamed as Sherton Abbas in the book. It is a town of mellow-stoned buildings, two impressive castles and an abbey set amidst beautiful green valleys around the River Stour and wooded hills on the edge of Blackmore Vale.
