Quiet 2-bedroom rural home just outside Tisbury, on the Wiltshire/Dorset border

Set amid the saintly Donhead villages of the Nadder Valley, Talbot Cottage is a delightful newly-renovated two-bedroom building in seven-acres of gardens, woodlands and fields. In some ways it’s unlike a standard Wolsey Lodge property, in that Talbot Cottage is a few metres away from the main property and has its own full kitchen. Guests can be as private as they like with continental breakfasts provided, but they are also welcome to mingle with cooked breakfasts and evening meals on offer in the main building.

There are two guest bedrooms here. Ochre has cosy twin beds, an en-suite bathroom with a large, double-ended bath. Mint is a king-sized room with wide door access and an en-suite shower room with disabled facilities. There is underfloor heating throughout, extending to the limestone floors of the en-suite bathrooms.

Both rooms share an open plan kitchen and sitting room, with a wood-burning stove, a TV and French double doors opening onto a sunny terrace, with views over fields and woodlands. This is a great place to enjoy a TV dinner, but for a more expansive meal head up to the main house to be entertained in style. Menus and dietary requirements can all be tailored to your needs.
