Self catering at Newfield Barn Cottages - Rose Cottage at Pimperne in Dorset, South West England

More about Newfield Barn Cottages - Rose Cottage

This former barn, originally built in the 19th century, has been converted into four holiday cottages (four feature here) offering good, comfortable accommodation and retaining many characteristic features including exposed stone walls and open beams. Newfield Barn is set off the beaten track surrounded by open countryside on the edge of the village of Pimperne, which has a lovely village pub and store. Adjoining one another, the cottages share a large enclosed garden, and each cottage has its own patio furniture to sit and enjoy the views over open fields. Hidden down a country lane, the cottages offer peace and quiet with many walks to enjoy in the surrounding countryside.
The medieval town of Blandford Forum is only 2 miles away and boasts one of the most complete Georgian townscapes in England, with the town hall, and Church of St Peter and St Paul being the main attractions. Mrs Penny’s Cavalcade of Costume, and the town museum also offer points of interest to visit within the town. Proving popular with visitors are Milton Abbas, the idyllic village 6 miles south-west, and Cerne Abbas with its Tudor cottages and abbey ruins, a further 10 miles away. The latter is home to one of the most visited sites in Dorset - that of the famous 180ft giant carved in the chalk hillside. To the north of Blandford lies Shaftesbury, with its steep and well-known quaint cobbled Gold Hill.
Just a short drive away lies the county town of Dorchester, serving as the main agricultural centre for the area, and offering a lively Wednesday market. Catering for many different tastes, there are also several museums to browse around - including the county museum, a small dinosaur museum, a military museum and one dedicated to Tutankhamun. Maiden Castle just outside the town is an example of a prehistoric fort, and dates from the Iron Age - the banks enclose an area of fifty football pitches, which would have housed 200 families. Higher Brockhampton is just a little further from the town centre and is worth a visit to see the cottage where the novelist Thomas Hardy lived. Max Gate - the writer’s last abode and where he lived for the longest period of time - is also open to the public. Just past the quaintly named village of Puddletown is the fine 15th-century Athelhampton House, with its gardens adorned by elegant fountains and unusual topiary features.
Within a 30-minute drive lies the wonderful Dorset coastline, with the Blue Flag beaches of Bournemouth and Poole, the Purbeck Hills and the pretty villages of Corfe Castle and Lulworth Cove. Revelling in a mild climate, Bournemouth is renowned for its clean sandy beach and boasts several public gardens, the best known of which is Compton Acres, comprising seven different international garden themes.
The Jurassic and Heritage coastline takes in the port of Weymouth and the lovely village of Abbotsbury with its famous Swannery which is the only place in the world where over 600 swans can be visited during the nesting and hatching time (end May - end June). Along the coast is the pebbled Chesil Beach which is approximately 18 miles long, and the medieval port Lyme Regis which is the ideal place to have a relaxing cream tea. Shop 1 mile.
