Town: The friendly village of Puddletown is found beside the quaintly-named River Piddle, 4 miles east of the county town of Dorchester. Famously named Weatherbury by Thomas Hardy in his novels Far From The Madding Crowd, and Under The Greenwood Tree, Puddletown was in fact home to the Hardy family, and his parents are buried in the churchyard. The village is served by a well-stocked shop, whilst the pub serves good food and local ales. The countryside around Puddletown abounds in lovely walks and is dotted with pretty villages, including Tolpuddle, most well known for the origin of the Trade Union movement. Close by, Athelhampton House and Kingston Maurward House and gardens are well worth a visit. Just a short drive takes you to the scenic Jurassic coast, offering sandy beaches at Weymouth, rugged Portland and stunning walks along the coastal path. Puddletown makes a lovely Dorset village base from which to explore this most beautiful area.

    This was a last minute find but the booking process was exceptionally smooth. Miller's cottage is tucked down a back lane- on road parking was not an issue. Short walk to nearest pub, round the corner from a Spar.The cottage is very clean, fresh looking and well equipped. The garden is safely enclosed for dogs and the patio a bit of a sun trap. Would not hesitate to recommend and hope to return.
