On the first floor you will find the two comfortable bedrooms with garden views, and the large family bathroom. Sitting on a quiet lane overlooking open countryside, and with a fully-enclosed walled garden including a small pond, The Old School is ideally situated for exploring West Dorset, South Somerset, and the stunning countryside and numerous quaint villages all around. There is a Loggia open on two sides under a tiled roof with timber decking, offering the ideal space for relaxing and enjoying views across the garden, or a spot of alfresco dining. Nearby, there are plenty of places to visit, including the market towns of Crewkerne, Beaminster and Bridport, a selection of great country houses and gardens, and several of Dorset's famous hill forts including Lewesdon and Pilsdon Pen.
