* Greygles is old Dorset for bluebells. In Spring they abound in the local woods. 

This is a well-equipped property throughout which also includes a Wendy House in the garden to delight young children, an antique refectory table in the dining room, and a funky master bathroom with a free-standing bathtub. With 4 bedrooms, it is set up for 7 people but an extra Z-bed can be provided for an extra person if necessary. One double is on the groundfloor with adjacent bathroom and toilet. For infants, there are 2 cots and a high chair. Linen is provided and cleaning is included in the price.

Greygles is set on the edge of a quiet village in the middle of rural Dorset. So it is wonderful for walking/hiking the gentle hills of the region. 
 
But of course there is a wealth of other attractions. Within half an hour's drive is the dramatic Jurassic Coast, Weymouth where the 2012 Olympics sailing events will be held, a series of lovely old towns, gardens, abbeys, Iron Age hill forts, and attractions which include an ancient Swannery, Monkey House, Butterfly Kingdom and even a Tank Museum.
