Ramblers is an ideal base for couples looking to stay

Ramblers is ideally situated, close to the centre of the popular village of Marnhull, and offers easy access to numerous footpaths for relaxing countryside walks in this beautiful part of North Dorset. The accommodation includes an open-plan sitting area, dining area and kitchen, with bi-folding doors which open out to the large lawned garden.
Four steps lead up to a shower room, and also the first of the two double bedrooms which has a television.

On the first floor is a generous double bedroom suite which includes a walk-in wardrobe, en-suite shower room, television and french doors leading to a small balcony with garden furniture and views of the pretty countryside.

The village of Marnhull is the largest village in Dorset and was named 'Marlot' in Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the D’Urbervilles. Lying in the Blackmore Vale, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Marnhull is surrounded by glorious countryside and well served by local village stores, along with two pubs, both within walking distance of Ramblers. The market towns of Sturminster Newton, Shaftesbury, Sherborne, Blandford forum, and the county town of Dorchester are all within easy reach. With the Jurassic Coast less than an hour's drive away, a stay at this comfortable property offers plenty of opportunity for exploring the delights of Dorset.

Additional Information:
Up to two well-behaved dogs welcome (small additional charge).
There is almost no mobile signal in the property. Either switch to WiFi calls or you can get a signal in the garden.
Ramblers is attached to the neighbouring property, and the drive at the front of the property is shared.

Just the best
If you are looking for a beautiful, quiet and clean place to stay in the heart of the Dorset countryside with plenty of room, set up for walkers yet perfect for others, this is the place. We loved the easy access to a variety of places to visit and eat, the copious hot water, streaming tv ( so we could introduce my sister and husband to our favourite shows), our friendly hosts, some home cooked meals and the babbling brook at the end of the garden.

Schönes Haus mit großer Wiese
Das Haus ist schön eingerichtet, das Wohnzimmer sehr hell mit direktem Zugang zur Terrasse und dem riesigen Garten. Es liegt sehr ruhig, der Supermarkt ist dennoch in wenigen Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar.

Mooi huis op prima locatie
Huis was heel netjes, goede bedden, complete inrichting en zeer vriendelijke eigenaren. Enige kleine minputje was de verkeerssituatie; de afslag naar het huis was erg onoverzichtelijk dus gevaarlijk.
