Our popular cottage provides a comfortable base to explore the local area. Shaftesbury is renowned for its stunning location and Barbers Cottage provides a central location to stay at with all the lovely cafes and boutique shops within a couple of minutes walk. Internal exposed stonework and beams couple with a house which is designed to be a home from home.
A large living space has two sofas, and a gas 'wood' burning stove - cool in the summer and cosy warm in winter months. A large 6-seater dining room with limed, solid oak furniture is adjacent to an excellently equipped kitchen with range cooker and both lead onto a private terrace with garden tables and chairs. There is a lovely raised terrace as well which is perfect for idyllic morning sun (and a coffee) giving you in-town peace and tranquility. Through the gate, steps lead you to the lawn and unique, mature garden - a plant lovers paradise and a place to play games with children.
Upstairs the large master bedroom has a king size bed and original ceiling beams (an extra person can be accommodated here)with vintage furniture. The twin bedroom leads from a large landing. The bathroom, with a separate shower, has a roll top double end bath and and a loo. There is a second loo upstairs.
The furniture has been chosen to be as sustainable as possible - FSC wood or vintage. Cotton sheets and comfy beds add to a very enjoyable stay.
IN A WEEK.....
- browse the boutiques, cafes, antique and craft shops
- buy fresh bread and cakes at local artisan bakers
- have a lunch at the Grosvenor's restaurant or go for a sandwich in the salt cellar at the top of Gold Hill with stunning views (if you remember the Hovis advert!)
- walk on the downs (this is an area of outstanding natural beauty) or take the views in from Park Walk in town, past the Abbey and to the other side on Castle Hill and admire the magnificent views towards Glastonbury Tor and the Downs
- have a swim in the outdoor pool in town (in summer)
- watch the sun set from the Mitre pub back deck
- walk down (rather than up) Gold Hill, from the Hovis Ads
or visit castles, safaris parks, English houses and gardens, the jurrassic coast, stonehenge, farms or go for a swim in the sea.
or just relax in our comfortable cottage drinking tea and eating gorgeous cake that can we can have waiting for you by request.
Worth a trip:
Shaftesbury boasts lots of independent shops from delis to cake shops to cafes. Try the Chutneys at the Deli or the morning croissants at the Bakers. The Mitre pub in town has a back deck with views down the Blackmore Vale, a great early evening spot in the summer. There are many walks straight from town which can take you to the heart of the countryside and the Cambourne Chase.
Our House / Young Kids?:
The garden was created by a keen gardener and there is a top lawn which in spring and summer is bursting in colour and plants. The terrace which can be accessed by the back door or fence windows is a great place to relax or have a BBQ. A gate to the steps and the rest of the garden means toddlers can play without you worrying about them walking up the steps.
Other things for Kids
There are games and books for children to use. The house is equipped with a high chair, cot, blender, microwave and other things that parents with babies and toddlers may need. The local area has hundreds of things for children to do from longleaf Safari Park to Old Castles - it would be difficult to get bored even in the rain.

A family home used by the owners, but also let out for the traveller wishing to enjoy the essence of Dorset and its surrounding area.
The stylishly designed conservatory at the back, is what makes this house so unique: flooded with light, it's the perfect second sitting room lending light to both dining and kitchen. The front sitting room on the other hand, gives the house its authentic 'cottage' feel - an instant invitation to comfort, luxury and warmth.
The newly fitted kitchen is super well-equipped with everything from Italian hand painted crockery, high standard cooking utensils, to comfortable bar stools.
Upstairs, the master bedroom is to die for. There are 2 further double bedrooms, comfortable and beautifully decorated. Colfax and Fowler, Osborne and Little adorn the windows and with the new and perfect ensuite bathroom, the whole house has the feel of the modern and traditional in perfect harmony.
While the garden with its grassy lawns lends itself to total relax, the patio is the perfect place for breakfast outside and balmy English evenings.
- "Very cosy and charming cottage in a peaceful area." - "The house was beautiful and the host was very helpful and easily contactable. The nearby pub just up the street served lovely food at a good price." - "Wonderful cottage - extremely well appointed - cosy , comfortable - and a great place to relax each evening after exploring this very historic and beautiful part of the country.

On chilly evenings, grab a blanket, light the fire pit and enjoy the beautiful starscape.
- "This rural cozy retreat, impeccably presented & tastefully furnished to a high standard, has amazing views of a timeless bucolic landscape unchanged since Hardy's time. There are lots of things to see and do (walking, Shaftesbury, Old Wardour Castle, etc.) but just staying put is a treat. The cottage is very peaceful and comfortable, and the kitchen is fully equipped. There is also a small library of some fiction and local history books and lots of maps. On clear nights you have a fantastic views of stars, as this is located in a Dark Sky conservation area. Bring your binos! The outdoor living area is just as beautiful with pots of colourful flowers and plants. There is a garden table and chairs, BBQ, and on the veranda a sofa. Stanley, one of the two cats, might honour you with a visit. He is very curious and friendly. Lois is the shy one. In bad weather, curling up on the sofa with a book, mug of tea and slice of cake is just perfect. We received a wonderfully warm welcome from the delightful hosts. Thank you! :-) We will definitely be back."

Set right in the heart of Dorset’s most beautiful town Shaftesbury is 22 Bell St – a glorious thatched cottage which accommodates 4/5 guests.
The cottage has a large living room with inglenook fireplace, kitchen, dining room, a lovely garden and patio eating area, writing room, 2 bedrooms, bathroom and ground floor WC.
The entrance of 22 Bell St takes you to a small hallway from which you can go upstairs or into the living room which has a beautiful fireplace with woodburner and seating for up to 5 guests.
There is a family kitchen, dining room and WC on the ground floor. French doors in the dining room open out into a pretty garden with lawned area, terrace and a romantic summer house which is perfect for reading, studying or to spend a few quiet minutes having a nap in the armchair.
The property has a characterful winding staircase (this is not suitable for young children, the elderly or for those less mobile) which takes you up to a double bedroom and bathroom with bath and shower. Please be aware that this is extremely steep and quite tricky to negotiate.
On the second floor is a bright and spacious bedroom under the eaves which has a double bed. There is an extra mattress if guests need to sleep another person or if children prefer to sleep in separate beds (additional charge £25 for the weekend/£50 per week).
Well behaved dogs are welcome but they are not allowed on the furniture, upstairs or to be left unattended at the property. There is a charge of £27.50 per dog for stays up to 7 days and £27.50 for each subsequent week.
There is no private parking at the cottage but there is 1 hour parking almost opposite the cottage and there is a car park about 2 minutes’ walk down the road in Bell St. If you prefer to park for free there is limited unrestricted parking at the far end of Bell St or there is a free car park at Barton Hill Car Park (about 5 minutes walk from the house).
There are numerous shops and cafes to be explored in this vibrant town. Shaftesbury’s Gold Hill was the location for the iconic Hovis advertisement and it is a treat to walk up or sit at the café at the top of the hill enjoying the quaint houses that line the street and the fabulous countryside beyond. There is also a Lido two minutes’ walk down Bell St which the kids will love!
Please note that guests need to bring all household items such as toilet roll (although there is some left for arrival!), firewood, washing up liquid and all provisions for your stay.
Nearby attractions are Stonehenge, the glorious house and gardens of Stourhead, Sherborne Castle, the art gallery, restaurant and farm shop at Hauser & Wirth, The Newt gardens and restaurant and Haynes Motor Museum in Somerset. Bath is about a one hour drive, as is the beach. Cheddar Gorge and Go Ape at Moors Valley country park and forest are also within easy striking distance.
There are glorious walks almost from the door but you do have all the benefits of staying in a vibrant town where you don't need to even get into the car during your stay: there are wonderful shops, the theatre, cosy pubs and restaurants, supermarkets nearby and just a 10 minute drive to the local train station in Gillingham.
- "Smashing" - "Great property in a great location. As it was in the centre of Shaftesbury every thing was in a short walking distance. A property with typical heritage aspects, uneven floors, small staircase and low ceilings which all added to the charm. One has to go expecting some compromises in terms of space and modern convenience but nothing was unbearable. The dining room opening onto the rear garden path which led to the small lawn area, slightly disconnected from the house. There was plenty of hot water, heating and the wifi worked in most parts of the property. Improvement points would be a better equipped kitchen for self catering and a little more of the household consumables like dishwasher tabs, toilet paper and washing up liquid."

Please note: No children allowed under 12 years.
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.

Region: Explore the fossils and stunning beaches of Dorset's Jurassic Coast, visit historic Sherborne and Shaftesbury, or enjoy the footpaths, country lanes and thatched-roof pubs Dorset offers.
Town: It was founded 1100 years ago by King Alfred who built a fortified settlement here ad went on to build the Abbey which draws tourists throughout the year. Gold Hill is one of the most famous locations in Shaftesbury and in one of the cottages that sits on its top, you'll find the Town Museum which holds samples of the buttons which once made Shaftesbury so famous. Lying on the border of Wiltshire, staying in Shaftesbury also puts you within easy reach of other attractions, such as Stonehenge, the Compton Abbas airfield and the beaches of Poole and Bournemouth. About 5 miles north-east of Shaftesbury are the remains of Wardour Castle, which has never been restored since it was besieged during the English Civil War. Half an hour away are the fossilised beaches of Lyme Regis and Charmouth.
- "Great location and beautiful scenery. The only unfortunate thing was that I found it difficult to communicate with the property manager. She greeted us upon arrival, but getting into contact with her afterwards was difficult." - "This was a lovely bolt hole in the country and an ideal location for visiting wonderful local landmarks. The cottage was well equipped and nicely presented with a welcoming box of biscuits on arrival. Very quiet with tranquil views. The owners were over the driveway and extremely friendly. Salisbury, Glastonbury, Sherborne and the like were within easy reach as was Poole on the coast. An ideal spot and perfect for that relaxing getaway."
