1/11

If you’re stuck on where to go for a country weekend away, this luxury cottage in Shaftesbury could be the ideal location.

Located just two and a half hours from London by train, the 19th century cottage sits just south west of the Wiltshire and Dorset border.

Showcasing the very finest UK interior design and craftsmanship, the Craftsman’s Cottage is where modern meets rustic.

The cottage can accommodate up to six guests with a further two being able to rent out the Annex.

From the DeVol units stocked with David Mellor kitchenware, the Nicola Tassie ceramics on display to the bespoke upholstered beds and the William Morris wallpaper, this cottage really is something special.

Found on the edge of the hamlet of Semley, three miles from the ancient Anglo Saxon town of Shaftesbury, the greenstone building with its slate roof is the perfect weekend getaway.

In the nearby village you will find all your creature comforts including a local shop just a 50 yard walk across the common, and a 17th century pub offering cask ales and traditional pub food.

Sleeps: 6 to 8

Price: from £250- £375 per night
