The pretty village of Marnhull is tucked away between Sherborne and Shaftesbury in the Blackmore Vale, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where the rural landscape is a patchwork of fields and hedgerows. Better known as “Marlott” to Thomas Hardy aficionados, this village was the fictional home of Tess of the D’Urbervilles and the local pub, now the Crown Inn, was the “Pure Drop Inn” much frequented by Tess’s father in the story. Old Lamb Cottage is a cosy detached property situated in the grounds of the owners’ home in the hamlet of Walton Elms, less than a mile from the local amenities at Marnhull. Full of character, a large impressive fireplace dominates the comfortable, traditionally furnished lounge/diner. By contrast, the bright and airy kitchen provides those 21st century essentials and in warmer weather, guests can enjoy a barbecue on the private patio to the side of the cottage.

Nearest Coastline: Poole, Bournemouth, Weymouth and the Jurassic Coast.

Tourist Attractions: Stourhead House and Gardens, Sherborne Castle, Longleat Safari and Adventure Park, The Dinosaur Museum at Dorchester and the famous giant at Cerne Abbas.
