Location Map

Melbury Vale is a 28-acre specialist farm with a Christmas tree plantation, vineyard, woodland and ancient bluebell wood, which are all available for guests to wander and enjoy. Children will love watching the owner's herd of alpacas, horses and sheep. Formerly a stable, this Grade II listed cottage lies close to the original farmhouse, historic mill buildings and mill pond on the River Stirkel. Melbury Vale Cottage is south facing and has two attractive bedrooms, a small living area, underfloor heating and a wet room fitted to disabled access standards. The location is peaceful and relaxing yet less than two miles from Shaftesbury. Steeped in history and tradition, the town has a fascinating 9th century Abbey, with a museum, gardens, speciality shops, art galleries, tearooms, restaurants and inns. Places of interest not to be missed include Longleat House and Safari Park, Stourhead, Stonehenge, Glastonbury and Shaftesbury's very own Gold Hill, the steep cobbled street immortalised in the Hovis commercial.

	This is a lovely area for walking and there is also Carp fishing and golf close by. Within an hours drive you could be fossil hunting on the Dorset World Heritage Coast or lazing on the beaches of Weymouth Bay. Check Availability at Melbury Vale Cottage Note: Non-Smokers Only.
