The Loft @Lime Cottage: private stylish loft space

A cosy and private well-equipped loft space in a rural setting in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is the ideal place for social distancing. Historic sites and excellent walking routes are easily accessible. This warm, comfortable and stylishly decorated studio guest suite sits above a detached garage and has a private entrance. The house is in a tranquil 4 acre plot with lovely views from your personal raised sundeck. All within walking distance from Tisbury village and train station. Come and go as you please via the private terrace - also great for breakfasts or sundowners al fresco and stargazing - with parking space underneath. There is a small anteroom for coats and boots, also the home of the kitchenette, which opens through to the main space. There’s a 4'6 double bed, table, sitting area and modern bathroom with shower. In the ‘ kitchenette area’, you have the use of a Bosch Tassimo coffee machine, small fridge, kettle, microwave and mini electric oven. Please note this is only suitable for breakfast and snacks as there is no hob or sink. If you need a space to self-cater and prepare your own meals, you should look at our other listing, The Hut @Lime Cotttage, which has a well equipped kitchen, BBQ and fire pit. We are minutes away from Tisbury village and train station, all easily walkable in 20 mins over fields. Nearby attractions include Stonehenge, Stourhead, Longleat safari park and the Jurassic coast including Durdle Door and Lulworth cove. In line with Airbnb guidelines, we have increased our cleaning schedule and will observe social distancing to ensure your safety. Guests have exclusive use of the Loft and your own private deck. Due to Covid 19 restrictions, the surrounding garden can only be accessed on request at this time. This is our home so we are usually around and happy to provide tips and info, or with your own access and space you are welcome to explore on your own if you prefer. Our home is in the famously attractive undulating countryside of the Nadder Valley, part of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the Dorset/Wiltshire border. We are five minutes drive from Tisbury, described by The Times as one of the top 10 villages in which to live. The village offers a range of independent shops and boutiques, a tearoom, a coffee shop and a host of award winning pubs. Many of these pubs can be walked to, including the highly acclaimed Beckford Arms - which you will need to book in advance. We recommend you bring your wellies to test out some of these walks. Tisbury is also home to Messums Wiltshire, a contemporary arts centre housed in an ancient thatched barn. Tisbury is just 10 minutes off the A303, and once you are here local towns are within easy access. You are 15 minutes from Shaftesbury, home of the famous Gold Hill, and 20 minutes’ drive from Salisbury where you can see Stonehenge, Old Sarum and the 123m cathedral spire, particularly famous in Russia. Tisbury station is also on the main south-west trainline from London to Exeter. Nearby attractions include Stonehenge, Stourhead, Longleat safari park and the Jurassic coast including Durdle Door and Lulworth cove. Our home is within walking distance of Tisbury train station (15 mins over the fields or 25 mins by road). There is no taxi rank at the station but we can advise the number for someone who provides a local taxi service. There's a local bus service which connects Tisbury to the main towns, Salisbury and Shaftesbury. We can provide a fold-out bed for a third person/ child if needed. We're happy to provide flexibility on check-in and check-out times when available. There are dogs and livestock on the property so we are unable to accept pets.
