Nestled in a secluded wooded valley on the edge of the pretty village of Ashmore, delightful Magna Cottage is full of charm, and an ideal cottage for those seeking peace and tranquillity. The cottage has a cosy sitting room with inglenook fireplace, and invites you to relax and unwind in front of the open fire. The dining room is the perfect space in which to gather together enjoying a tasty meal, and the well-equipped kitchen ensures that meal preparation is easy. Four pretty bedrooms on the first floor include two double rooms, and two twin bedrooms; a family bathroom and separate ground floor shower room complete the accommodation at this delightful thatched holiday home. Sitting within its own one-acre lawned garden, with orchard and beautiful mature trees, Magna Cottage is perfect for families, and the picnic table and benches are ideal for sharing alfresco meals and enjoying nature. There is direct access to numerous footpaths and forest walks right from the cottage, and the beautiful Larmer Tree Gardens are close by. National Trust owned Win Green, Melbury and Fontmell Downs within easy reach, each affording exceptional views across the Cranborne Chase. Ideally situated for exploring the delights of both Dorset and Wiltshire, Magna Cottage enjoys a convenient location, with Shaftesbury, Tisbury, Blandford and Salisbury all just a pleasant drive away. Additional Information: Two well-behaved dogs are welcome (small additional charge). There is secure fencing around the property. A travel cot and highchair are available on request. Sorry, no barbecues due to thatched roof. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Internet access ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Wood stove ### Entertainment - DVD player - Games - TV ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Patio ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - 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 - Garden - Unit size: 11 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/121000000/120830000/120823600/120823595/a51386dc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming 2 Bedroom Home in the Cotswolds Andoversford - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Outdoor space [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-21&endDate=2026-01-22&selected=120823595&PinnedHotelID=120823595&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, electric kettle, toaster, cookware/dishes/utensils](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114100000/114093800/114093752/2ce18c76.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Robin's Rest Ross-on-Wye - Kitchen - Washing machine - Pet-friendly - Parking included [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-21&endDate=2026-01-22&selected=114093752&PinnedHotelID=114093752&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, fireplace](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/108000000/107280000/107272400/107272321/33fa7ed3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stables Cottage by Group Retreats Alderbury - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-21&endDate=2026-01-22&selected=107272321&PinnedHotelID=107272321&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/113000000/112020000/112013900/112013892/1485f0e2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Milk House, beautiful dairy cottage, pet friendly and beautiful views DEVIZES - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.8 Exceptional 30 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-21&endDate=2026-01-22&selected=112013892&PinnedHotelID=112013892&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Minimum check-in age - 21 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Pets Pets are allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a professional host.
