A cosy Dorset cottage within easy reach of Wimborne’s shops and eateries, this delightful two-bedroom retreat is perfect for couples and small families. Sleeping four guests, and also welcoming dogs, it makes a great choice for those who are eager to experience the colour of the market town, as well as its beautiful countryside surroundings. Stroll less than 350 metres to visit historic Wimborne Minster or amble 500 metres to see the model town and its gardens. Venture out of town to walk along the coast and visit beautiful beaches. Try Lake Beach, 8.5 miles away, near Poole, keeping an eye out for seals in the water. Pack a picnic and head out into the New Forest, 10.5 miles away, for the day. While away an afternoon at the National Trust’s magnificent Kingston Lacey, just 2.5 miles from your base. Explore the house and wander the gardens, park and heathland. This property is well placed for spending a great day out at Stonehenge, Corfe Castle or Paultons park, all within 30 miles.

Let yourselves into this inviting cottage to find accommodation with a stylish yet friendly finish. From the small hallway, wander through to the lounge to make yourselves comfortable and enjoy a little downtime. Select a book from the shelves and sink back into the deep leather seat. Choose the sofa instead and find a film on the Smart TV that everyone will enjoy. Take a step down into the dining room to gather round the table for a hand of cards. Open the French doors from here to the garden on warm days. The kitchen, which is conveniently located next door, has been fitted out with everything you are likely to need. Whip up hearty feasts for your family or friends then carry them through to enjoy at the table. Make fresh coffee in the machine then step outside via the kitchen door to drink out in the Dorset sunshine. At the end of every fantastic day away, climb the stairs to your lovely bedrooms. These include a room with a king-size bed and additional cot or toddler bed if required, and a versatile twin zip-and-link room. The immaculate family bathroom, where you have the choice of a deep, hot bath or a refreshing shower, is also at this level.

Make the most of your enclosed garden on fine days. This has been laid out to encompass two patios, as well as a lawn for children and pets to play on. Dine at the table close to the house or sip a cool gin and tonic as the sun goes down on the rear patio. There is off-road parking here for two cars.
