Description of property

Ryecross Farm Cottage is just half a mile from Shaftesbury, surrounded by idyllic farmland. Built in stone, the cottage has recently been converted to offer accommodation for up to 4 people, all on one level. There is a shared garden that offers fantastic views across the Blackmore Vale and the potential for al fresco dining during the summer months. The owner also owns a private fishing lake which you can use through prior arrangement. This cottage offers a haven in which to get away from it all but, if you are seeking night-life or a restaurant, then Shaftesbury is within easy access.

A really lovely cottage with everything we needed. Very clean, comfortable and relaxing. It was so nice to have the french doors out into the garden, with views to die for!

,The cottage had beautiful surroundings with a view across the Blackmoor Vale. It was peaceful and we had good weather to assist our visits to the coast and country, including some interesting towns and villages.
