    “Very special place, a totally unique haven .”

    The folly itself is enchanting,full of character and charm.The owners have gone to great lengths to ensure the folly has been creatively refurbished and fully equipped with everything needed.This extends to the provision of delicious home made jam&marmalade; and condiments.The folly is totally detached,set on a hill with 360 degree panoramic views of the beautiful countryside.If you can raise yourself from the nest-like bed, you will be treated to the spectacular sunrise/sunset.

About the location

MERE

Shaftesbury 7 miles.

A delightful country town of old stone cottages set in a stunning conservation area, on the borders of Wiltshire, Dorset and Somerset. This small, lively community is well served by a good variety of local shops and ancient inns, with much of the area to the north of the town designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Ideal for walking and taking in the breathtaking views, the town is also well placed for exploring numerous National Trust attractions and historic houses. A visit to stunning Stourhead House and gardens, only 2 miles away, is not to be missed, while Longleat House and the ancient hilltop town of Shaftesbury featured in the Hovis adverts, are also close by. Stonehenge, Wilton House, Salisbury and the Dorset coast are all easily accessible by car, providing much to see and do for a variety of tastes.
