The Setting
Tucked down a quiet country lane, set in a peaceful location in the Blackmore Vale and with lovely views, it is perfect for relaxation and exploring this superb area. Ideal for that romantic break but suitable for young children too!
The Isle of Purbeck with its Jurassic Coast Line is within easy reach, as are the historic towns of Sturminster Newton, Thomas Hardy, Dorset's most noted author wrote The Return of the Native when he lived in the town, Shaftesbury with the beautiful Gold Hill made famous in the Hovis advert, and Sherborne boasting two castles and a fabulous selection of shops, ranging from FatFace to old fashioned chemists, a local butcher and superb delicatessen. Fishing, golf, historic houses and gardens abound.
Kite Cottage is ideally situated as a base for The Great Dorset Steam Fair held at Blandford Forum in August of each year, although early booking is recommended!
2012 brings the Olympic Games to Great Britain with the sailing less than an hour away at Weymouth - what could be a better base than a quiet country cottage away from all the hustle and bustle but still within easy reach of all the action. For comfortable accommodation during the Olympics then Kite cottage could be just what you are looking for.
Sherborne Castle was the location for the 2008 IRONMAN contest, only ten minutes away, with competitors staying at Kite Cottage enjoying the peace and quiet to unwind before and after the race.
