These picture-perfect 17th century farm cottages come with everything on the Baby Boltholes wish list including pretty ‘country contemporary’ interiors and a long list of family friendly features from a gated, heated swimming pool (May-Sept), a long list of nursery kit, toys, games, play areas and even their own private gate to a neighbouring family-friendly village pub complete with play bus, pygmy goats and yummy kids menu!
The four adjoining cottages boast 2 bedrooms a piece, with one cottage being a slightly larger 3-bedroom. They share acres of glorious gardens so kids can be free-Range and parents can always find a secluded spot to enjoy a book or a drink whilst mini guests play on the adventure style playground or splash about in the safely gated pool. Friendly owners, Adele and Nigel, are always happy to invite guests young and old to share in their well-stocked kitchen garden and Adele’s home-made cakes can be pre-ordered for delicious daily afternoon teas.
Inside, the pretty white-washed cottages are thoughtfully equipped and styled with a cosy home from home feel combining classic and contemporary furnishings with carefully coordinated textiles. Each lounge is comfortably equipped with a log burner, enough sofa space for the whole family, smart TV, DAB radio and Bluetooth speakers for cosy nights in and easy mornings. The fully equipped kitchens come with all mod cons including Nespresso, washing machine, dishwasher, oven, hob, fridge freezer and microwave. Each cottage has a private patio with picnic table and BBQ, leading to the communal gardens.
The wider gardens offer plenty of space for bat and ball games and hide and seek. Set amongst the grounds there is a wooden adventure style playground with wavy slide, swing, climbing net, giant noughts and crosses, connect four and Jenga. Best of all, in summer months, there is the large, heated pool, accessed via an entry code, with wide entry steps for little ones to splash at the shallow end.

Location Information
Peace and tranquillity rule the day at Dominey’s Yard, with beautifully landscaped gardens, far enough from madding crowds, but close enough to a very family friendly critically acclaimed pub with access to the beer garden via secret gate at the end of the communal gardens. The pub boasts a playbus and kids menu alongside a mini herd of pygmy goats that are always a huge hit with the little ones.
Set in the pretty village of Buckland Newton there is a well stocked village shop, large play area and playing field within a 10 min stroll down the country lane or a yomp across a couple of fields for those feeling a little more energetic.
Slightly further a field within a short drive are Sherborne, a beautiful and historic market town, home to Sherborne Abbey, Castle (the former home of Sir Walter Raleigh) and Gardens. The town itself has a wide range of individually owned shops, boutiques and antique shops to while away the afternoon.
Dorchester the county town. Visit the Roman Town House and Amphitheatre and also stand in the dock where the Martyrs stood trial.
Milton Abbas the epitome of a Dorset village, dozens of beautiful thatched cob cottages lining each side of the only road in and out of the village, complete with pub and tea rooms serving delicious food. The Abbey church close by is also open to the public.
Weymouth with its beautiful sandy beach is just 30 mins drive and the Jurassic coast is also within easy reach.
Nearby Hospital with A&E: Dorchester County Hospital 20 mins drive.
