Rent Apartment Engine Granadillo Dorset AONB

Transformed from humble farmworkers’ cottages into one of a collection of four beautiful self-catering getaways in the picturesque Dorset countryside, this home offers an idyllic escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Set within extensive grounds, the cottage has a private patio and garden leading to a heated pool and a secret gate straight to Narnia, a.k.a. the local pub beer garden. What more could you possibly want on a warm summer’s day than a dip in the pool followed by a refreshing cider in the sun?
Having previously been open to the public under the National Garden Scheme, your hosts are striving to return the gardens to their former glory. They also maintain a charming country garden stocked with all manner of seasonal fruit and vegetables – some of which may well find their way into your welcome hamper.
Inside, the cottage retains plenty of period charm, including the original ‘Dorset winder’ staircase, and adds a contemporary take on farmhouse chic thanks to a beautiful Shaker-style kitchen and matching dining area. Comfy sofas set up facing the wood burner make for cosy nights in with a good book before retiring upstairs to the two captivating bedrooms.
Located in a quintessential Dorset village, the rural setting offers plenty of opportunities to explore the stunning landscapes that form part of an officially designated Area of Natural Beauty (AONB). There’s even a public footpath leading directly from the grounds. For a grand day out, the beautiful Jurassic Coast and the likes of the picturesque Lulworth Cove are a little over 20 miles away – well within day-trip distance. Finally, for those who’d rather not shatter their rural idyll by heading out on a supermarket supply run, the village shop is stocked up with essentials, while the local pub is perfect for those evenings when you don’t fancy cooking.
