Nestled in the cobbles of Gold Hill is 450-year old Button Cottage. A listed building lovingly restored to reveal original features. Furnished and equipped to a 5* standard, offering all the modern comforts of today. Famous for the Hovis bread ad directed by Sir Ridley Scott. Stunning views seen from the cottage and garden across green hills. A peaceful setting yet only a 2-min walk to the bustling high street of Shaftesbury with its independent shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. Just perfect. The cottage: Step off the cobbled hill made famous by the ‘70s TV advert for Hovis bread, into a cosy living room with stone floor, Inglenook fireplace and wood burning stove. Farrow & Ball neutral tones paired with Susie Watson’s timeless fabrics, cushions and throws create the perfect setting to curl up in front of the wood burner with a glass of wine and local cheeses from the high street deli and wine shop. Vintage style soft lighting and copper finishes complete the relaxed atmosphere, along with a Smart TV. The homely handmade kitchen includes rustic open shelving to provide easy access to everything you need. A wine fridge, butchers block, and Smeg Lavazza coffee pod machine make thoughtful additions, not forgetting a dishwasher to make light work of the washing up! "Oh goody, it's bedtime” When it’s time for bed, sink into the 7000-pocket sprung mattress on King Size antique bedframe, sumptuous cotton bedlinens and naturally anti-allergenic goose feather and down Super King bedding. An enchanting single bedroom (or dressing room) offers a full-size single daybed with goose feather and down double bedding, cotton linens and privacy curtain covering a quirky opening over the staircase. The shower room on the ground floor comprises a stylish chrome rain shower with handheld attachment. Faith in Nature toiletries and plenty of fluffy Egyptian cotton towels.

We warmly welcome you to Button Cottage on Gold Hill.

One of the highest towns in England and the oldest in Dorset, Shaftesbury has plenty to offer serious walkers and gentle strollers alike, with designated walks across Blackmore Vale and Cranbourne Chase AONB, as well as scenic walks around Shaftesbury. For those determined to relax, far reaching views can be enjoyed along the promenade (Park Walk) and Castle Hill, bench-hopping with a sweet treat from Reeves the bakers, or an ice cream from Ecco Gelato (if you can make it last that long!). A small town with a big personality, Shaftesbury has an arts centre with theatre and cinema; lido, regular markets and food / fringe festivals throughout the year, all within a five-minute walk from the cottage, not forgetting the annual Gold Hill cheese race on Spring Bank Holiday weekends which can be watched from your own front door! Places to visit: Places to see a short drive away include Old Wardour Castle, Stonehenge, Stourhead Gardens, Kingston Lacy and Longleat Safari Park. For a more local flavour you might visit the pretty little village of Fontmell Magna and its well-known pub restaurant The Fontmell, or the picturesque market town of Sherbourne with its traditional stone buildings, independent shops and numerous cafes. Slightly further afield Corfe Castle is a popular choice, or The Lost Village of Tyneham (check access times), Cerne Abbas with its historic stone houses and Abbey remains, or Bradford-on-Avon and its famously quintessentially English tearoom (booking advised). A little further still and the cities of Bath and Salisbury make a great day out, and the New Forrest and Jurassic Coast are less than an hour away.
