Bedroom details
3 Bedrooms (Sleeps 4 + cot)
The Strawberry Thief, named after the designer William Morris's most famous print design, is a gorgeous end of terrace retreat for four, deep in the rolling Dorset countryside. Nestled in oodles of outdoor space, this pretty, fudge-coloured cottage is just lovely on the inside too. With a real focus on mid-century design, the decor is thoughtfully chosen, with fabulously iconic pieces throughout from the Eames dining chairs to the antique single bed. There's even a vintage Crossley record player and a selection of vinyl! It's also a great location to explore Dorset and Somerset, being so close to the border, with brilliant walks on your doorstep - perfect for long doggie walks.

There's a television with Freeview plus a DVD player for when you want a movie night or two.
Eating
The kitchen-come-breakfast room is a great space with a fab cherry wood dining table with Eames chairs at its heart - ideal for get-togethers. There's a Smeg oven plus all the necessities to cook up a storm in the kitchen, plus a Nespresso machine for coffee-lovers and a Bluetooth speaker for when you want to cook along to some cracking tunes. In addition, there's a separate dining room snugly tucked away in a duck-egg blue room for cosy meals together.

In the Area
Being close to the Somerset border and not too far from Wiltshire, there are lots to do on your doorstep. Sherborne Castle and Abbey are close by and absolutely beautiful - the castle dates from 1594 and was built by Sir Walter Raleigh, whilst the gardens were created by Capability Brown in 1753. The abbey was originally a Saxon cathedral and is one of England's most beautiful churches. Longleat Safari Park, Bath, Stonehenge, the Fleet Air Museum, Lyme Regis and Bridport are all within an easy distance.
