Cottage in Somerset

About this property

This chocolate box cottage has been lovingly furnished, offering stunning views over the Blackmore Vale yet just two hours from London by train, it s a perfect pace to escape.

This picture postcard cottage sits in a pretty village location in Cucklington and is a great base from which to explore the three counties of Somerset, Dorset and Wiltshire, including Shaftesbury with its farmers market. Walkers and cyclists are well catered for with numerous circular routes direct from the village and ever popular Cheddar Gorge slightly further afield. Similarly, the stunning south coast with fabulous beaches at Bournemouth, Swanage, Weymouth, Lyme Regis and Chesil, as well as the world renowned scenery at Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door, is also slightly further afield but worth a visit. Other attractions accessible include the historic spa city of Bath, Wells, the smallest city in England, National Trust Montacute and Stourhead, Longleat Safari Park, Wincanton Race Course, Bath and West Showgrounds and Salisbury. The approach to the cottage is breath taking, as its elevated position allows superb views of Blackmore Vale.
