In total there are five cottages surrounding a pretty shared courtyard garden, which has been thoughtfully designed to provide peace and privacy for guests. The original farmyard and barn have been restored and there are often farm animals around for guests to pet or feed. From the courtyard there is a beautiful route out through farmland down to the riverbank situated in a Site of Nature Conservation Interest, perfect for a peaceful picnic and enjoyment of the beautiful landscape and wildlife. All of this is accessible via a wheelchair-accessible boardwalk. Ladymeade has a generous open-plan living area with a well-equipped kitchen with rise and fall worktops and accessible cupboards and appliances. There is a comfortable sitting area with television, and also a dining area with table and chairs. The high ceilings with exposed trusses give a spacious feel to the beautifully designed interior. There are two bedrooms, a 5' king-size master, and a separate single bedroom with a 3' profiling bed. The large accessible wet room has an overhead and adjustable shower, wash basin and WC with support rails. Outside is a small terrace with garden table, bench and chairs overlooking the pretty courtyard garden. Ladymeade cottage forms part of Wraxall Yard. There are four further cottages: Kittwhistle, Lynchets, Clementine and Lookout that can be booked for groups of friends or family, and there is a large shared room and kitchen for lunchtime or evening gatherings which can be booked separately, subject to availability, if three or more of the cottages are booked together. Given the peaceful nature of the site, it is not designed for rowdy parties! The village sits around a small chalk stream and features a Grade I listed building, St Mary's Church. There is a long and rich history of farming in Lower Wraxall and archaeological evidence of mediaeval farms can still be seen today. The wider area has wonderful attractions, whatever your interests. Additional Information: Sorry, no pets. Travel cot and highchair available on request. There is a portable vibration pad available on request which wakes and alerts the deaf and hard of hearing in the event of an emergency. Use of the separate communal space cannot be guaranteed, as it is subject to availability and needs to be reserved in advance. High-speed fibre internet connection. Should guests experience difficulties or loss of use, neither the owner nor Dorset Hideaways will be held responsible. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Internet access ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Food and drink - Hob - Microwave - Refrigerator ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Shower - Towels provided ### Entertainment - TV ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - In-room accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Unit size: 11 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/84000000/83060000/83051800/83051796/ce419155.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Clementine - part of a beautifully restored former dairy that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms Dorchester - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-06&endDate=2025-12-07&selected=83051796&PinnedHotelID=83051796&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/84000000/83060000/83051800/83051787/ab96a8d8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Kittwhistle - part of a beautifully restored former dairy that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms Dorchester - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-06&endDate=2025-12-07&selected=83051787&PinnedHotelID=83051787&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/120000000/119690000/119681200/119681163/c268afe2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Dorchester Centre Apartment - Free Parking & Views Dorchester - Kitchen - Washer - Parking available - Microwave 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-06&endDate=2025-12-07&selected=119681163&PinnedHotelID=119681163&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113240000/113235500/113235465/ee7b49c7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming Country Retreat on Old Sherbourne Road Dorchester - Kitchen - Air conditioning - Outdoor space - Breakfast available 9.0 Wonderful 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-06&endDate=2025-12-07&selected=113235465&PinnedHotelID=113235465&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99620000/99615100/99615012/cb0e1218.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Gorgeous cottage with heated swimming pool!
