About this property
The Gate House - A handsome country house located on the Dean’s Court Estate.
The Gate House is a handsome country house located on the Dean’s Court Estate on the edge of Wimborne.
Ideal for family holidays and celebrations with friends. Play board games around the fire, relax in the roll top bath and dine in style in the theatrical dining room. Ideal for all age groups, the more recently added media room will keep teenagers entertained, whilst the hot tub is perfect for all to enjoy day and night.
Foodies will be delighted to receive a welcome basket of local, homemade treats on arrival. Expect to be greeted with freshly baked bread from our local bakery, locally sourced free-range eggs, home-baked treats, locally produced jam and of course milk in the fridge and a selection of Dorset teas and ground coffee.
Additional Information

A high chair and travel cot (no linen) can be provided upon request.
Up to three well behaved dogs welcomed (small additional charge).
Please note that guests are responsible for enforcing rules of safety regarding use of the hot tub (the relevant rules and advice can be found in the property Welcome Book).
