Chettle Village Store.

Chettle Village Store.
I love this little shop in the Dorset village of Chettle, in the Cranborne Chase. I sampled some of their locally made sheep's cheese and very much enjoyed one called Shakespeare - To Brie or not to Brie! Lots of local produce, fresh coffee, refillable milk bottles, and plenty of seating outside.

Such a delightful image..............this looks like a proper community shop but also a place to socialise, exchange information and relax. There can't be many like this left nowadays.

You've captured the charm and warmth of this place beautifully Rosa, inside and out.

Love the name of the cheese :-)

Thank you for your kind comments Keith. It is fantastic and is my daughter's local village shop, being 3 miles away. There are three more within 5 miles and all doing well....I think she keeps them all going ;-) You might enjoy this link with their other named cheeses!

Yes I agree Roger. Many of the garden centres sell local produce now as well, which has got to be good.

Nice to go into these places in hopes of finding something different Rosalyn. The advert for the pies caught my eye but as always see these things especially as this is the last day of my first weeks dieting.

You would find plenty that is different in this lovely little shop Maurice...maybe pass the pies by, however tempting ;-))

Exactly the kind of shop many villages are missing nowadays, including mine. A great collection of exterior and interior pictures which explain very well what the shop is about. I will have two of the award winning pies to go;-))

All the best, Doug

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Doug Shepherd club
I quite agree Doug. There are lots of community run shops in this area, and many have a cafe as well. The pies did smell very nice ;-))

All the best, Rosa.

More specialised items are the only way these small shops can survive, and of course the location it wouldn't last where I live

I don't know how people find it, as it's very "out of the way" but they do, and it thrives thankfully :)

Next time maybe! Cheers, Rosa.

That looks like a magical little shop and "ticking all the right boxes". Sadly, we have virtually none like this here, courtesy of the large shopping chains.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to tiabunna club
That is a good word to describe them George....magical! The other two that are only a short distance from my daughter have such interesting goods on offer, and I noticed only a little or no dearer than the supermarkets on many items!
