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 house: 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 ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/111000000/110080000/110070800/110070728/f51142e7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Thatch at Winterborne Houghton Winterborne Houghton - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-19&endDate=2025-10-20&selected=110070728&PinnedHotelID=110070728&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/62000000/61210000/61202500/61202490/0816a7f6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 18th Century Cottage in Dorset Countryside Horton - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space 9.4 Exceptional 10 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-19&endDate=2025-10-20&selected=61202490&PinnedHotelID=61202490&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/37000000/36040000/36035000/36034942/313ced6a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Hardy Chalet Scandinavian style chalet on working dairy farm Gillingham - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.8 Exceptional 16 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-19&endDate=2025-10-20&selected=36034942&PinnedHotelID=36034942&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/119000000/118230000/118229100/118229035/d9e747ea.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stunning villa for 6 people with WIFI and terrace Blandford Forum - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi - Parking available [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-19&endDate=2025-10-20&selected=118229035&PinnedHotelID=118229035&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/67000000/66220000/66212100/66212079/c15b8840.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Wyndthorpe Cottage is a bright, single-storey, modern retreat Blandford Forum - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 10 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-19&endDate=2025-10-20&selected=66212079&PinnedHotelID=66212079&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/96000000/95710000/95709300/95709229/183cf9a0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Contemporary Cottage & Garden in Dorset Blandford Forum - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-19&endDate=2025-10-20&selected=95709229&PinnedHotelID=95709229&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Sun-loungers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/37000000/36380000/36370900/36370875/eff3cfe6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stylish Contemporary 5 bed , 4 bathrooms house near Shaftesbury gated entry Sturminster Newton - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 11 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-19&endDate=2025-10-20&selected=36370875&PinnedHotelID=36370875&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33980000/33976200/33976181/f2b63055.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Scandinavian chalet with hot tub in rural North Dorset.
