About this property

Set behind the owners’ ancient farmhouse, and sensitively converted from a 300-year-old stone barn, Droop Farm Cottage has plenty to offer a group of family or friends seeking to get away from it all. You will be impressed by the elegant and homely feel throughout, wonderful welcome basket provided with Tracey's own homemade marmalade and cake! With the exterior stone work representing everything that is quintessential about small, English cottages. The small windows and slate roof really add to the character, with the interior carefully thought out to provide the best experience for visiting guests. The décor and soft furnishings give a sense of continuity as you pass through from room to room. Outside, there is plenty of room to explore as well as space to sit and admire the views which stretch off into the distance towards Bulbarrow Hill. If peace and privacy are high on your list, then this is a perfect choice for your holiday. The three bedrooms are spread across both floors; the first of the double beds is located on the ground floor, while the second double room and third twin room are on the ground floor. One family bathroom can be found on the first floor, hosting bath with separate shower, WC and Basin. The modern kitchen dining area has everything you could ever need, and leads into the living room which features comfy seating and TV with Freeview. A tranquil, rural village sat just outside of the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Hazelbury Bryan is a small, traditional village with thatched buildings, a parish church dating back prior to the 15th century and a popular pub that was built in 1750, it also boasts a Spar shop. In the village there is also a field with cricket and football facilities as well as a children’s play area. Droop Farm Cottage is great for families looking to have a quiet country retreat away from the madness of everyday life.

Droop is a hamlet in Dorset in amongst the hinterland surrounded by unspoilt views of countryside towards Bulbarrow Hill from the end of the very private garden. In the immediate area there are many walks you can go on and enjoy, with the central location of Droop great for getting to other places such as the hilltop town of Shaftesbury and historic Sherbourne.

    Felt like home from home.

    Nice touches around the cottage for example shower gel and hand soap etc in the bathrooms. The comfiest beds with luxury bedding. High quality towels to use. The information folder was very helpful and useful for planning our days. Udder farm shop was an excellent recommendation. Very generous and thoughtful fresh food basket with locally sourced products left for our arrival. Including the best lemon drizzle cake we have ever eaten. Definitely above and beyond any other holiday cottage we have stayed in. Loved having little Alfie the dog coming in to visit. Owners friendly and not intrusive. Wi-Fi excellent especially considering the location. Beautiful gardens. We will definitely try and book to come back in the summer time. Highly recommend. Thank you letting out your beautiful cottage.
