Monthly Rentals in Melbury Abbas

A wonderful studio to stay and enjoy the delightful countryside which is on your doorstep. I’d highly recommend staying at Poppy’s studio.

We had a really wonderful stay at Angela’s cottage! Although small, it has everything you need for a great stay - tea, coffee, dog/cat bags, all dishes and utensils necessary to cook at home, etc. Plenty of local recommendations in pamphlets to look through. Very comfy sofa and bed as well. The shared garden outside is very beautiful, especially in the spring, with lots of flowers and insects buzzing about. Finally, Angela is a fantastic host - extremely responsive and thoughtful! We highly recommend if you’re visiting Shaftesbury!

The Air BnB of Gwyneth is a wonderful place. It‘s a really cozy little cottage with everything you need. We really liked all the lovely details in the beautiful appartment and we also fell in love with the beautiful flower garden and the landscape around us. Gwyneth was a really nice host. She gave us so many tipps for places to shop, eat and things to do around the Air BnB. We would come back anytime.

We loved staying at The Barn. We were between house moves so needed a homely place to stay for a while with our dog and cat. We found the property easily using directions given to us by Rosie our host. She was flexible with our arrival time and an excellent host throughout our stay. The property was exactly as shown in the photos and in excellent condition. Not being on holiday, we found it very comfortable as a home to do everyday things. The supermarket and Shaftesbury town are only a 10 minute drive, as is a Launderette. We could walk our dog along a Bridle Path near to The Barn which takes you past fields with sheep and their lambs, which was lovely, and further on you can go up a hill to get a panoramic view of Shaftesbury in the near distance. We visited Duncliffe Woods in East Stour to see the bluebells in full bloom and a dog friendly pub at East Stour called The Kings Arms which serves excellent food and a wonderful Carvery. We would definitely recommend The Barn as a rental.
