We have two 4-star self-catering holiday cottages, available to book throughout the year.


Jasmine Cottage and Rose Cottage are situated in the grounds of Hillyground Cottage, a Grade II-listed thatched cottage dating from the 15th century, in the pretty hamlet of Newton just outside the market town of Sturminster Newton.  

The cottages are surrounded by an acre of field and gardens, overlooking the River Stour and Newton Mill.
