The Byre
Shaftesbury, South West England
The Byre in Shaftesbury is a snug choice for two, set in a peaceful stretch of Dorset countryside. The Stour Micro Museum is just 0.8 miles away, an easy stroll for a quiet afternoon out.
Further attractions include the Gillingham Museum, 3.4 miles off, and the Gartell Light Railway, 3.9 miles away, both worth the short drive. Gillingham (Dorset) station, also 3.4 miles out, provides a useful option if you're travelling by train. All in all, it's a restful little base for a couple wanting to explore this corner of Dorset at an easy pace.
