Country cottage sleeps 6

The Bullpen is a self contained cottage in the corner of a larger farmhouse courtyard property. The cottage sleeps 6 and has private garage parking, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Whilst all are welcome this property is not targeted at the tourist industry but for people working in the area or needing accommodation when moving home/refurbishing. The cottage is exactly as photographed – the kitchen is clean and well equipped but is a little dated and the outside space is a small yard area not a garden.

The front door leads directly into the large living room which has 2 sofas, TV, woodburner. The dining room table seats up to 6 guests. There is a fully equipped kitchen with electric oven and hob, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine. The kitchen leads out onto an enclosed outdoor area with table and chairs.

Also on the ground floor is a bedroom with 2 single beds and a family bathroom with both shower and bath.

Upstairs are 2 further bedrooms: the master bedroom is a beautiful large room with oak beams. This room has a kingsize bed. Bedroom 3 has a double bed and there is a second bathroom on this floor with bath, wc and sink. We do not allow guests to sleep on the sofa but if you require further sleeping provision a mattress, bedding, linen and towels can be provided for £30 but this request needs to be made in advance.

The Bullpen is located in quiet countryside but close to Gillingham town and 5 minutes from the train station. There is an excellent Waitrose nearby as well as an Asda, Aldi and Lidl.

Please be aware that this is a courtyard property in the grounds of a larger farmhouse and chickens and the dog roam free in the drive. Dogs are welcome by prior arrangement (£26 fee for stays of 3-7 days) but they are not allowed on furniture or to be left at the property unsupervised.

The Bullpen is a favourite with people working in the area or as budget accommodation for young families: it is ideally situated for trips into the pretty town of Shaftesbury, wonderful walks in idyllic Dorset countryside and within easy striking distance of Stonehenge, Bath and the Jurassic coast.
