The property

The Cottage is a delightful single-storey retreat located on the outskirts of Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, in the market town of Wimborne Minster, Dorset.

Welcoming up to six guests and a well-behaved dog, this bright and well-presented property offers a peaceful base for families or friends looking to explore both the coast and countryside of Dorset.

Set in a tranquil location, it’s ideal for unwinding and enjoying the natural surroundings.

After a day spent exploring the local area or walking the trails of Canford Heath Nature Reserve, return to the inviting living/dining room.

Settle into one of the comfortable sofas while a favourite film plays on the Smart TV, or simply enjoy the calm.

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything needed to prepare meals, which can be shared around the dining table with seating for all.

Guests have shared access to a spacious paddock dotted with oak trees and woodland—perfect for dog walks or spotting deer and owls in their natural habitat.

The area’s low light pollution also makes it excellent for stargazing.

There’s a shared outdoor tap for rinsing muddy boots and paws, and tennis courts available for those feeling active.

As evening falls, take a stroll around the garden with a glass in hand before retiring to one of the two well-appointed bedrooms.

The main bedroom features a king-size bed and an en-suite bathroom, while the second bedroom offers a flexible king-size zip-and-link bed, served by a sleek shower room.

A sofa bed in the living room provides additional sleeping space for two guests, making the property suitable for a variety of group arrangements.

The Cottage is conveniently located close to local amenities, including a shop for essentials and the Willett Arms, a rustic pub serving traditional fare and local ales.

Wimborne itself offers a wide selection of cafés, restaurants, pubs, independent shops, a supermarket, and takeaway options.

For a day by the sea, Bournemouth is under ten miles away, with its golden beaches and attractions such as the Oceanarium, Bournemouth Pier Amusements, and RockReef adventure centre.

Alternatively, head to Poole to explore its historic quay, beach, and the scenic Upton Country Park.

Whether you're seeking a peaceful escape or an active break, The Cottage provides a welcoming base for your next Dorset adventure.
