4 Victoria Cottages Pet-Friendly Cottage

Cottage Description

What better way to get to know the ancient and traditional counties of Dorset and Wiltshire than by staying in Grade II listed cottage. Just six miles from the beautiful town of Shaftesbury, 4 Victoria Cottages is a bright, spacious holiday home of character, just perfect for small parties to enjoy the wonderful local ambience.

Hindon is an attractive village which certainly appears to have existed in the early thirteenth century, but curiously in relation to other such villages, there is not any great history before that time, suggesting it may have been a "planned" development by a landowner. Whatever its past history, it is now a village of quaint cottages and former coaching inns.

Victoria Cottage goes back about one hundred and fifty years, and offers heating and a wood burner for out of season occupation, as well as a fine position in an area of outstanding natural beauty.

The situation of the cottage was superb. A quiet retreat but with amenities on hand. The cottage had everything even down to excellent local walks. There were lots of things to see and do in the area and we will certainly return. Author: Mr Johnson, Leeds, - Date of Stay: 06/2011
