A charming little cottage renovated to a very high standard with many lovely details. The local area had lovely walks and there was an excellent friendly pub within a short walk. The host was very welcoming and helpful.
It has always been my dream to live in a thatched cottage and decided that a stay at Tudor Rose Cottage would be a great opportunity, it did not disappoint.Not only is the outside beautiful, but the inside is too, also functional and extremely comfortable Denise left us some delicious treats, I appreciated the fresh flowers around the cottage and there is a very lovely pub just a few minutes walk away.I would recommend a stay here and it is a beautiful part of Dorset with plenty to see Thank you Denise, Lee and I had a fab time.
Spotlessly clean with lovely (and very welcome) touches on arrival. The furniture and bed, were incredibly comfortable. Decorations were charming, whimsical and fun. The dishes and cups and kitchen were more than adequate in style and supply. Quiet (loved the horse traffic), easy to access from our friends in child Okeford. Great accommodation in one of the most beautiful places in England! We will likely become regulars and our friends will also be referring their overflow. Thanks Denise!

Beautiful attention to detail The flowers the generous welcome back it was all spot on. It was immaculately clean. I couldn’t fault it five stars thank you.
In 2018 we returned from France where we had lived for 17 years. In France we owned a small Hamlet of luxury holiday cottages and now we have returned to our homeland to do the same thing! In 2019 we renovated a little cottage in the heart of historic Canterbury; creating a luxury holiday cottage for guests to enjoy. We then decided to move to the West Country where our heart had been all along, so sold up and said goodbye to Kent. In 2021 We came across Tudor Rose cottage by accident and completely fell in love with the cottage and the lovely village of Stourpaine. We knew instantly that she would make a perfect couple’s retreat in this stunning part of delightful Dorset!
