Nestled on the outskirts of the peaceful village of Trent, The Stable House is a beautifully presented detached cottage surrounded by open countryside and generous gardens. Offering a calm and spacious retreat for families, friends, and their four‑legged companions, it’s the perfect base for exploring this charming Dorset and Somerset border.
Step inside to a warm and welcoming entrance hall before settling into the cosy sitting room, where a crackling woodburning stove sets the tone for relaxed evenings and family film nights. This inviting space also features a full‑size pool table, ideal for a bit of friendly competition after a day out.
The heart of the home is the spacious open‑plan kitchen, dining, and living area — a wonderful setting for cooking together, sharing memorable meals, or simply curling up on the sofa with good company. On sunny days, enjoy alfresco dining in the private courtyard while children and dogs make the most of the enclosed lawned garden, a safe and generous space for everyone to unwind. A handy outdoor tap also makes rinsing off boots and paws easy after local rambles.
A standout feature — and a favourite with guests — is the beautifully screened hot tub, offering complete privacy for starlit soaks and peaceful relaxation. Whether it’s a special occasion or just a well‑earned break, it adds a luxury touch that elevates every stay.
Convenience continues with a utility room and a stylish ground‑floor shower room. Upstairs, four thoughtfully furnished bedrooms — a super‑king, two king‑size rooms (one with an en‑suite), and a twin — offer a flexible layout for groups of all kinds. Each room enjoys calming rural views and ample storage, while the indulgent freestanding bath provides the perfect place to unwind at the end of the day.
While the cottage enjoys a private and peaceful setting, it also benefits from being located on a wider rural estate, giving guests an authentic countryside experience without compromising comfort or privacy. The nearest pub and local amenities are just a short distance away. Guests can also book the neighbouring property (Ref. 1086608) to host groups of up to 16.
With its blend of cosy character, modern comforts, generous outdoor space, and standout features — hot tub, woodburner, and dog‑friendly design — The Stable House is a wonderfully inviting base for memorable getaways in this beautiful corner of the southwest.
