A gem!
Amazing location, on the edge of Wimborne market town and yet when in the cottage feels so quiet and peaceful. Every detail has been thought of and it is the most lovely, well furnished spacious cottage. We and our friends were so impressed with the cottage and hope to return at some time.

Lovely cottage in a fabulous position
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely, cosy cottage. The cottage was very well equipped & the beds were very comfortable. There was a lovely welcome pack of goodies, including fresh eggs & homemade shortbread biscuits & apple juice, & REN toiletries in the bathrooms. The cottage has a rural feel as it overlooks fields but is just a short walk into Wimborne Minster town centre. The town has plenty of lovely shops, cafes & restaurants if you don’t want to cook in the cottage. We would love to return.

Very Nice Holiday Property - We hope to visit again
The external photo of the cottage just doesn't really do the property justice; the location was very quiet and restful but the town centre was within easy walking distance. The goodies and flowers that were there on our arrival were very welcoming and appreciated. The property was well equiped, clean and comforable. The downstairs bedroom/bathroom was just right for my disabled sister but probably not so appropriate if a wheelchair is required. The property manager was very understanding when we reported a breakage. You can book with confidence.
