The Buttercup, Shaftesbury

About this property

Set within 25 acres of peaceful meadows and countryside in Shaftesbury, Dorset, this cosy bell tent offers a chance to experience the countryside from a different perspective. Wonderfully immersed in nature yet thoughtfully equipped for comfort, it provides a truly relaxing retreat, making it ideal for couples seeking a romantic getaway or celebrating a special occasion.

Inside, the tent has been thoughtfully furnished with a comfortable double bed, soft bedding, rugs, cushions and cosy touches that create a warm and welcoming space. Wake up to the sounds of wildlife, step outside into the fresh country air and enjoy your morning coffee surrounded by open fields.

Outside, your own firepit/BBQ provide the perfect setting for outdoor dining, toasting marshmallows and enjoying a glass of wine beneath the stars. Two comfortable chairs can be used both inside and outside the tent, allowing you to relax wherever you choose. It's the kind of place where time seems to slow down.

A modern bathroom with hot showers and fluffy towels is located just a short walk from the tent. There is also a shared area for drying your hair, offering the perfect balance between outdoor living and the comforts of a boutique glamping experience.

Take time to wander the grounds, where you'll discover beehives, peaceful meadows and a bird hide overlooking the surrounding landscape. Keep an eye out for the resident deer that occasionally appear, adding a little extra magic to your stay.

The historic town of Shaftesbury is just a pleasant 25 minute walk across the fields or a two minute drive away. Famous for the iconic Gold Hill and its independent shops, cafés and traditional pubs, it's one of Dorset's most charming market towns and an excellent base for exploring the wider countryside.

This also makes a great base for exploring more of Dorset. Spend time wandering around or head to the coast to visit places such as Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove or Weymouth.
