Triss

Shaftesbury lies four miles south, with Salisbury, Blandford and the Dorset seaside towns of Weymouth and Poole all within driving distance. Longleat House and Safari Park, Stourhead House and Gardens, and Kingston Lacey are reachable for a day out. The immediate surroundings are quieter—a golf course, fishing and cycle paths sit a mile away, and the property opens onto farmland for longer walks through the Blackdown Vale, where deer, buzzards and pheasants are common.

Triss sleeps five across three bedrooms: one with a kingsize bed, one with a single, and one with two singles. There is one bathroom with a shower. Downstairs, an open-plan living and dining space has a Freeview Smart TV and a kitchen with electric oven and hob. Essentials like heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are included. The property has private parking for two cars and stands on eight acres of grounds with a grassed area for play, a sitting-out area with barbecue, and access to a shared laundry room. One dog stays free. No smoking indoors.
