Little Water Barn is a charming cottage for two in the peaceful hamlet of East Burton, in a tranquil riverside setting surrounded by lush meadows full of wildlife, with many lovely walks from the doorstep. One dog is welcome, and the dog friendly highlight is a gated, enclosed riverside garden for the exclusive use of guests and their dog, a short stroll along the driveway.

A private entrance leads into the hallway and on to an inviting, spacious kitchen and diner, with its own utility room and WC tucked alongside. The table for two leads through to a cosy lounge with comfortable furnishings and a Smart TV, where feet go up while the dog snoozes off the morning's walk. Upstairs, the gallery style king size bedroom is light and bright, with a calm ambience and a stylish en suite.

The garden sits on the banks of a tributary of the River Frome, with an attractive deck, comfortable furniture, sun loungers and a charcoal BBQ. Picture an afternoon down there: a glass of wine and a good book, the dog settled on the decking, and the babbling river going by with its plethora of wildlife and birds. Come Christmas, the barn is dressed with decorations.

The village of Wool is 1.5 miles away and the historic walled town of Wareham 6.5 miles. The Jurassic Coast offers fabulous walks for the dog, with Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door and Studland Bay along it, and RSPB Arne, the Tank Museum and Monkey World make good days out. A day's chalk stream fishing can be booked on the East Burton Estate.

We research every description carefully and believe it to be accurate, but details can change. Please confirm anything important, especially dog rules, with the booking agent or property owner before you book.
