Original & Vintage Style Country Homewares & Gifts

DottyMoos is run from a beautiful Regency country farmhouse and shop in rural Wiltshire, England. We believe in relaxed stylish country living with products that are both beautiful and a pleasure to live with, with an emphasis on vintage style design.

To those of you who keep coming back to check the website please bear with us! We had an amazingly busy Christmas sales period and are currently busy photographing new stock in preparation for the website opening. We are working tirelessly to get the new site up and running, improved and expanded but still retaining that personal feel of an old country emporium. In the meantime you are welcome to visit our shop in Wiltshire,The Inner Yard, which we share with Green Tulip and No 33 Antiques, details below.

We have masses of new products sourced mainly from small independent rural suppliers, ranging from cards, creamic homewares, soft furnishings, interior decorations, bags and jewellery. We aim to provide a range of items that you won't see on the highstreet, including original vintage items when we can source them (or can bear to part with them!)
We will be posting pictures of items to come and updating the site regularly to keep you aware of our progress, so please keep popping back to browse our pages for a glimpse at what we believe country living is all about...

**Urchfont Scarecrow Weekend**

This coming May Bank Holiday come on down to our local village of Urchfont and take part in the famous Scarecrow Trail! Take a stroll around this picturesque Wiltshire village and see if you can find the scarecrows and guess who they are dressed as. Competition is fierce and you may get distracted by the tasty refreshmants available, but it runs over the three days of the Bank Holiday weekend so you have plenty of time to get your completed competition forms in! A perfect day out for all the family, round it off by a visit to our shop The Inner Yard, which is just up the road in the next village of Lydeway. Just follow the signs for Planks Farm Shop, we are open all weekend, Saturday 9.30-5pm and Sunday and Monday 10-4.


Situated at The Old Potato Yard in a beautiful setting just outside Devizes, The Inner Yard was set up by myself and two friends who were looking for new premises for their businesses, and we spotted the opportunity one day when having a coffee across the yard.

Our vision has transformed an unused dairy into a contemporary showroom offering a wide range of furniture, homewares and gifts. With an ever changing assortment that ranges from antique painted furniture to modern handmade jewellery, from retro kitchen accessories to delicious organic chocolate, and from antique garden tools to natural gardener's hand cream there is plenty to satisfy any shopping urge!


Green Tulip was set up to offer customers a positive choice when they are looking for the perfect gift. Their range features contemporary gifts that are ethically sourced. Visit www.greentulip.co.uk to find out more and to buy on line.


Beth Cuttell has been working in antiques for 20 years and specialises in country house and garden pieces.

In addition to The Inner Yard, she exhibits at:

Old Bank Antiques, Walcot Bulidings, London Road, Bath BA1 6AD
