    “The Folly is an incredible property.”

    Locations is pure paradise. Absolutely every detail has been thought of both in and outside the property from kitchen equipment, herbs, spices, sauces, to umbrellas, torches and everything in between. The gardens are beautiful, we spent most evenings sat outside enjoying different areas, the pond in particular was delightful, one of if not the best pond I've seen. Upon arrival the property was absolutely spotlessly clean. Super comfortable bed and I will miss that shower! Colin was a wonderful ...

    Locations is pure paradise. Absolutely every detail has been thought of both in and outside the property from kitchen equipment, herbs, spices, sauces, to umbrellas, torches and everything in between. The gardens are beautiful, we spent most evenings sat outside enjoying different areas, the pond in particular was delightful, one of if not the best pond I've seen. Upon arrival the property was absolutely spotlessly clean. Super comfortable bed and I will miss that shower! Colin was a wonderful host, only a text away if needed and full of local knowledge for walks and places to visit. I cannot recommend the Folly highly enough, there are not enough stars to do it justice. We don't normally return to the same holiday cottages as like to try new places all the time however this is one place we will definitely book again and again.

MERE

Shaftesbury 7 miles.

A delightful country town of old stone cottages set in a stunning conservation area, on the borders of Wiltshire, Dorset and Somerset. This small, lively community is well served by a good variety of local shops and ancient inns, with much of the area to the north of the town designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Ideal for walking and taking in the breathtaking views, the town is also well placed for exploring numerous National Trust attractions and historic houses. A visit to stunning Stourhead House and gardens, only 2 miles away, is not to be missed, while Longleat House and the ancient hilltop town of Shaftesbury featured in the Hovis adverts, are also close by. Stonehenge, Wilton House, Salisbury and the Dorset coast are all easily accessible by car, providing much to see and do for a variety of tastes.
