“What a find.”

Perfect for us and our two dogs. Thoughtful welcome packs left by the owners. Great communication before and during our stay. Would definitely come again if visiting Dorset.

“Thimble Cottage is a wonderful place to stay.”

Simon and Bobbie were very accommodating with an earlier check in on Christmas Eve. We had a lovely welcome pack for us and our dog. The cottage is so comfortable and there is everything you need for a perfect stay away from home. We would definitely recommend, lots of local walks and a pub just a few doors away. Butch loved the garden area and it is completely enclosed. We will be back hopefully very soon.

“We chose Thimble cottage because it had an EV charger.”

You need Monta app to charge your car and it was very easy. We also took two dogs with us and it was perfect as the garden was very secure and there were treats, bowls and some towels for muddy paws for them. The house was very equipped, comfortable and clean. We lived our stay there and would love to come back again.

“We chose this cottage for its location and the fact in had an EV Charging point.”

When we arrived and entered, it was a real wow moment it looked fantastic. We had a lovely surprise welcome basket with our names on it, including our dog's! Would we stay there again, yes we would, well done Bobbie and Simon.

“An absolute gem of a holiday cottage!”

It is immaculate in every way! Very clean and every imaginable item of kitchenware available. The garden is great for the dogs as it is very well fenced even for a small terrier. Situated in a quiet village with endless dog walking opportunities and friendly locals! Would happily have stayed longer and will definitely be back!

About the location

BLANDFORD FORUM

Thornicombe 2.7 miles; Child Okeford 6.5 miles; Moors Valley Country Park & Forest 17.9 miles.

Blandford Forum is a market town in Dorset, England, situated by the River Stour. Notable for its Georgian architecture, most of the town was rebuilt in the 18th century after it was destroyed by a fire in 1731. King George II made a donation to rebuild the town centre with designs from local architects John and William Bastard. The Blandford Georgian Fayre is an annual event held in the first week of May and celebrates its Georgian heritage, with presentations, historical re-enactments and music and dancing. One of the town’s biggest events takes place on the late Bank Holiday weekend, the Great Dorset Steam Fair. A largely colourful festival with over 2,000 exhibits and an old time steam funfair. Offering a wide selection of independent store, supermarkets, pubs, restaurants, cafés and a Georgian tearoom. So much to visit within this quaint town and makes for a wonderful tourist attraction, whatever the season.
