Reliable info:
Guests say the description and photos for this property are very accurate.

Around 15 minutes’ drive from Shaftesbury, Yew Tree View provides studio accommodation in the Dorset village of Marnhull, the inspiration for Marlott in Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the d’Urbervilles. In a quiet location, this apartment sleeps 2 and provides free parking and Wi-Fi. Yew Tree View looks out over the gardens, and includes a small kitchenette with a fridge, microwave, toaster and kettle, and kitchenware provided. There is also a TV with Netflix and NOW TV in the double bedroom, and a dining table and chairs. This compact apartment also includes a shower room with wash-basin and toilet. The property is situated within the grounds of a family home next door, overlooking beautiful Dorset countryside, with a range of public footpaths accessible from the door of the apartment.. The pretty village of Marnhull has a small convenience store around a 10-minute walk from this apartment, and a beautiful 15th century pub is in walking distance. Dorchester and Salisbury are 40-50 minutes’ drive, with the historic city of Bath around 1 hour away.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 8.6 for a two-person trip.

    It was self-contained, with everything we needed. We cooked a meal and then walked to the pub in Marnhull for a drink, and back in the dark with head torches. It's a lovely old pub and complemented our stay at Yew Tree View.
