Summary
The 300 year old Yalbury Cottage in Bockhampton is surrounded by green fields and woodland yet just two miles from the Dorset county town of Dorchester.
Location
Set in the the small hamlet of Lower Bockhampton which was the inspiration for the village of Mellstock in Thomas Hardy's Under the Greenwood Tree, and a short walk from his birthplace.
Type of Room
We have eight spacious rooms, in the modern part of the building, decorated in a simple cottage style.
All rooms have en-suite bathrooms with a bath and shower, a direct dial telephone,
a colour television with built-in DVD player, hair dryer and tea and coffee making facilities. There is ample car parking space.
The lounge & restaurant are situated in the oldest part of the cottage and are full of character, with oak-beamed ceilings, inglenook fireplaces and exposed stone walls.
Directions
Take the B3150 out of Dorchester and at the roundabout, take the second exit. Continue straight ahead onto Hollow Hill, and after a third of a mile turn right into Bockhampton Lane. Yalbury Cottage is just over 400 yards on the left.
