Stay at Under the Thatch at Rose House, a cosy countryside B&B set in a beautiful traditional thatched cottage. Perfect for a peaceful rural getaway, this charming room combines character features with modern comfort. Guests enjoy a private, thoughtfully styled room with comfortable bedding, quality linens, and a private bathroom for a relaxing stay. Wake up to birdsong, countryside views, and a quiet village setting. Ideally located for walking holidays, countryside breaks, and exploring local villages, this welcoming retreat suits couples, solo travellers, and those looking for a relaxing stopover. Enjoy nearby scenic walks, historic surroundings, and easy access to local attractions. After a day exploring, return to the calm of Rose House and unwind in this comfortable and characterful space. Under the Thatch is ideal for a romantic break, short stay, or peaceful countryside escape. Please note - this is a very old property and has some very low beams - ducking is necessary - but room heights are normal - so once you are in the rooms - stretch up and relax!
We are passionate mountain bikers and love nothing better than undertaking off road journeys in the UK & Europe. Prue ran a successful Gite Business in France for 17 years and she and Hugh have been running a little holiday let from their home for the last 4 years.
We live in the beautiful village of Iwerne Minster - a quintessential Dorset village of great character. The village has a great pub and village shop. We are on the doorstep of Shaftesbury, within easy reach of the Jurassic coast and in fantastic walking and biking country. There are plenty of National Trust properties around including Kingston Lacey and Stourhead - so plenty to do and enjoy. We are quite straightforward to find... If you look at the photos of the front of the house it will give you a pointer. We are on the junction of Higher Street and the A350 - just by the war memorial which is on a large triangle of grass. Come to the middle door (don't be confused by Jasmine Cottage on the side of the house - our holiday cottage!) Rose House is written above the porch.
