Escape to a charming 6-person rural cottage. Enjoy a comfortable king-size bed, 2 bathrooms, a cozy bunkbed room, and a twin single (or this bed can be zipped into a superking). The open-plan lounge and dining room offer a perfect space for relaxation, and the fully equipped kitchen makes cooking a breeze. Step outside to the picturesque countryside and private hot tub. Whether you're seeking serenity or a base for exploration, this cottage has it all for your ideal family rural getaway.
The space
Welcome to your serene retreat in Casterbridge! Enter through your own private gated garden with your own private hot tub, a perfect haven for you and your furry friends. As you step inside, rustic charm envelops you, with exposed beams and ornate brickwork enhancing the ambiance.

Directly to the left of the entrance, discover two well-appointed bathrooms, one with a shower and the other featuring a shower over a relaxing bath. Your comfort and convenience are paramount.

The master bedroom awaits, boasting a sumptuous superking bed for a restful night's sleep. Feel right at home in this tranquil haven.

Back in the main corridor, a delightful country-style kitchen is ready for culinary adventures, complete with a breakfast bar. To your left, two additional bedrooms offer flexibility, with zippable singles and full-size bunk beds.

Continuing down the corridor, the open-plan dining room and lounge area welcomes you. A 6-person dining table provides the perfect setting for family meals, while historic courtyard views, built by Thomas Hardy's father in the 18th century, offer a scenic backdrop. A serene pond with Koy Carp swimming adds a touch of nature to your morning coffee.

Casterbridge is more than a home away from home; it's your rustic escape with modern comforts. Enjoy the beauty of the countryside and the rich history that surrounds you. Your peaceful getaway starts here.
