A charming 2-bed cottage on Gold Street, Stalbridge – perfect for a countryside escape. Features original flagstone floors, space for 4 guests, and cozy interiors. Just a 5-min walk to the local pub, takeaways, an Indian restaurant, and an independent supermarket with a café. Country walks start at your doorstep. 🏡🌿 The heart of the cottage is its cozy living room, where a wood-burning stove sets the scene for quiet evenings after long countryside walks. Kick off your muddy boots, curl up with a book or a hot drink, and let the fire do its magic. The kitchen is equally special — designed for those who love to cook or simply gather around great food. It features a stylish 5-ring Smeg cooker set into a central island, a breakfast bar for morning chats, and a dining table that seats six comfortably. Whether it’s a laid-back lunch or a slow, candlelit dinner, this space invites connection, comfort, and conversation. With two beautifully appointed bedrooms — one with a king-size bed and the other with a double — comfort comes as standard. The bathroom offers both style and relaxation, featuring a soothing waterfall shower and a full-sized bathtub, perfect for unwinding after a countryside walk or a day at the beach. To make your stay even more enjoyable, we provide quality linens, fluffy towels, a hair dryer, and an iron — all the essentials, thoughtfully included for a hassle-free getaway.
After years of living in busy towns and cities, I made Dorset my home over a decade ago — and I’ve never looked back. I absolutely fell in love with the pace, the peace, and the beauty of country life. Hurst Cottage holds a very special place in our hearts. My husband and I lovingly renovated it and even lived there for a while before starting our family in nearby Okeford Fitzpaine. When we moved, we considered letting the cottage full-time, but always felt it had something more to offer — a little countryside escape for others to enjoy, just as we had. So we took the plunge into hosting on Airbnb, and here we are! We’re so excited to share this little retreat with others who are looking to slow down, switch off, and enjoy all the charm Dorset has to offer.
Gold Street is one of the oldest and most characterful streets in Stalbridge, lined with charming period homes and full of local history. If you're arriving by car, there’s convenient on-street parking available — and we’ve never had trouble finding a space!
