Northwood Cottages B&B

Type: Bed & Breakfast

Northwood Cottage Guest Accommodation is ideally located in the centre of the beautiful "Blackmore Vale" farming land of North Dorset. Renowned for its rural beauty, Dorset is considered one of the top three tourist destinations in England. Being in North Dorset, both the seaside and inland attractions such as Bath and Stonehenge are within easy reach without having to stay in the crowded seaside areas. There are over 180 attractions to visit. These range from castles and cathedrals to gardens and man-made attractions. The local free pub, "The Plough" with great food is just a few minutes' walk away. They have a large selection of ales, a good menu, a garden and a conservatory eating area.

This charming house was built about 1850 and situated on the outskirts of Manston, a peaceful and relaxing rural village. The house has recently been completely modernised internally to an international standard, of at least a 4 star standard with silver award. The cottages have been architecturally extended some 25 years ago with the new part blending in with the original house. The B&B areas have been designed with a great deal of care to provide the best and most comfortable accommodation possible with the most modern, high quality, extensive amenities and attention to detail. We have a large and beautiful garden, which has a fantastic view, and a children's play area with swings and a slide. To ensure that the cottage is always nice and clean - for everyone's comfort the cottage is a non-smoking property.
