If you are searching for peace, tranquillity and wish to unwind in a rural backwater, Far From the Madding Crowd, then rest awhile at The Old Malthouse, in one of two self-catering cottages.

A warm welcome awaits you from your Dorset born host, with stories of country folk and times gone by to tell.

The Old Malthouse is now a 17th Century private home, lovingly restored from its former origins and is presently operating as Bed and Breakfast accommodation.

The two L shaped single-storey cottages are completely separate from the main house with their own access, rural views and secluded garden and courtyard areas.

They have been converted from barns with originality and an eye for that traditional cosy, country feel.

The 2-acre property is in Droop, a quiet hamlet on the edge of the North Dorset village of Hazelbury Bryan, which nestles in gently rolling countryside within the heart of the beautiful Blackmore Vale.

THE BYRE

2 double bedrooms: 1 four-poster, 1 double or 2 singles.
Bathroom and separate shower room.

CIDER HOUSE

1 four-poster room, and the other with bunk beds suitable for children.
Good-sized bathroom.

Both cottages have through kitchen, lounge with open fireplace and dining area, with southerly aspect, overlooking fields.

NB: Heating costs are inclusive, electricity is metered.
