Carraway Cottage is situated on the edge of Marnhull, a large North Dorset village with a thriving community with links to Thomas Hardy and the cottage itself is on the Hardy Way. Marnhull is well served with two public houses, two primary schools, three churches, a doctors’ surgery, pharmacy, carpet and soft furnishing shop, two grocery shops (one with a post office), hairdresser and beauty salon. There are many clubs and societies and the village is surrounded by beautiful countryside.
More extensive shopping, business and recreational facilities are available in Sturminster Newton, whilst the larger towns of Shaftesbury, Gillingham and Sherborne are all easily accessible.
The A303 to the north of Gillingham links with the M3 to London. Mainline railway stations are at Gillingham and Sherborne with direct service to London Waterloo, taking approximately 2 hours.
