About Old Post Office

Old Post Office is an extended character cottage with contemporary interiors and four-bedrooms, tucked away among the rolling hills and the pretty hamlet of Glanvilles Wootton, near Sherborne, Dorset. Whether you’re a family, group of friends or four couples looking for a quiet and peaceful escape away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, you’ll find plenty of creature comforts in this rural retreat, including a pet-friendly policy (to the downstairs of the property, with sleeping area in the kitchen/diner), a self-maintenance private hot tub, and stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

Also spoilt by the sights and sounds of a cockerel, ducks, owls, sheep, woodpeckers, wild hare, deer, pheasants and even flying geese. The sheer darkness and lack of light pollution at night provides the ideal setting to gaze at the stars.

After a long day of adventuring, the Old Post Office is ready to embrace you with its homely atmosphere, complete with four inviting bedrooms, each with wall-mounted TVs, so you can relax and unwind with your favourite shows. The super-king-size bedroom can be made into an extra twin on request and is best suited for a travel cot.

Two of the king-size bedrooms even have their own en-suite showers. The twin bedroom layout can also be arranged so that the single beds are positioned side by side if preferred.

If you're looking to soak away the day, head to the bathroom, where a luxurious roll-top copper bath with a view to the sky awaits, whilst a ground-floor shower room is also available for your convenience. The kitchen/diner is fully-equipped with state-of-the-art appliances, perfect for whipping up your favourite meals, while the sitting room provides a relaxing atmosphere, complete with a woodburning stove and two Smart TVs; a main TV for the adults, and another for children with the option to connect their own games console.

Dorset Teddy Bear Museum - DT1 1JU
about 11 Miles
This family orientated museum is dedicated to Teddy Bears both old and new Edward Bear and his family of people sized bears are one of the main attractions.  You can buy teddy bear gifts from the quaint shop including top notch brands.  The Steiff Teddy Bear and Merrythought bears are very popular.  Open 7 days a week all year round (except 25th and 26th December) this is a perfect all weather place to visit.
Kingston Maurward Gardens and Animal Park - DT2 8PY
about 11 Miles
Kingston Maurward Gardens and Animal Park is a magical place to visit with grand gardens and plenty of animals to meet.  From goats and ponies to alpacas and pot bellied pigs this attraction is excellent value for money.  You can feel free to explore the grounds too which are especially lovely on sunny days.  You will see majestic floral displays, stone terraces, a temple and even a lake.
Monkey World - BH20 6HH
about 16 Miles
Monkey World is not only a local attraction but the work they carry out is amazing.  Rescuing and rehabilitating monkeys and assisting governments around the world to stop the smuggling of primates are just some of the purposes of the centre. You get to see the primates themselves many of which have become famous from appearing on the TV show Monkey World - a documentary about this place. Open year round we think this is one of best attractions in Dorset and you even get the chance to adopt a monkey if you choose.
Longleat Safari and Adventure Park - BA12 7NW
about 23 Miles
You may have seen this amazing attraction on the BBC1 Animal Park programme.  This is actually the first safari park outside of Africa where you can get close to the animals from the comfort of your own car. Some of the highlights include the zebras, the wallabies in wallaby wood and the sea lion escorted cruise to Gorilla Island.  And of course the magnificent lions and tigers are a must see.  This really is an animal experience with a difference and you can save money by booking your tickets online.  This attraction is open until the end of October. Check out their website to see some fantastic video podcasts of the park.
Loch Lomond Sealife Centre - G83 8QL
about 23 Miles
The perfect place to visit on a rainy day this large Sealife Centre is currently offering 2 tickets for £15.00 when you book online. Top attractions include the amazing shark tunnel, the rock pools and the otter enclosure. This year Loch Lomond Sealife Centre is also home to Cammy - the only Giant Sea Turtle in Scotland!
