About this property

La Rose is the perfect romantic couple's retreat.

La Rose has been carefully designed and styled to provide the perfect peaceful retreat in which to relax and unwind. Sitting within the grounds of Church House, this wonderful single-storey annexe has a large open-plan sitting room with a contemporary kitchen and separate dining area. The bedroom has a sumptuous super-king size bed and there is a separate dressing room along with a stylish shower room to complete the accommodation.

Located in the pretty village of West Stour, one of a group of villages known as The Stours, located in the River Stour Valley, five miles south of Gillingham, and five miles west of Shaftesbury. The popular local pub, The Ship Inn, is just a one-minute walk from the property; and just half a mile away is the award-winning Dorset Udder Farm Shop with a cafe, butchery, deli, fishmongers and restaurant. Situated with the Blackmore Vale, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a break at La Rose offers opportunities for exploring numerous quaint villages, exploring the glorious countryside, or perhaps visiting nearby Sherborne with its two castles and Abbey, or strolling down iconic Gold Hill at Shaftesbury, made famous in the Hovis television advertisement.

Whatever your reason for visiting this beautiful part of North Dorset, unique La Rose is the ideal romantic couple's base.
