From the owner

Barbers Cottage is a listed, boutique-style holiday home located in the heart of the beautiful old Saxon town of Shaftesbury, Dorset bordering Wiltshire.

Our popular cottage provides a comfortable base to explore the local area. Shaftesbury is renowned for its stunning location and Barbers Cottage provides a central location to stay at with all the lovely cafes and boutique shops within a couple of minutes walk. Internal exposed stonework and beams couple with a house which is designed to be a home from home. (and we have Superfast broadband!)

LIVING AREA inc KITCHEN

A large living space has two sofas, TV and a gas 'wood' burning stove - cool in the summer and cosy warm in winter months. A large 6-seater dining room with limed, solid oak furniture is adjacent to an excellently equipped kitchen with range cooker and both lead onto a private terrace with garden tables and chairs.

THE GARDEN

There is a lovely raised terrace as well which is perfect for idyllic morning sun (and a coffee) giving you in-town peace and tranquility. Through the gate, steps lead you to the lawn and unique, mature garden - a plant lovers paradise with a small lawn at the end. he garden was created by a keen gardener and there is a top lawn which in spring and summer is bursting in colour and plants.

The lower terrace which can be accessed by the back door or french windows and is a great place to relax or have a BBQ.

BEDROOMS

Upstairs the large master bedroom has a king size bed and ceiling beams (an extra person can be accommodated here) and antique furniture. The twin bedroom leads from a large landing.

BATHROOM A double-ended, roll top bath and a separate shower,

. There are two loo's - one separate.

The furniture has been chosen to be as sustainable as possible - FSC wood or vintage. Delicious sheets and towels add to a luxurious stay.
