Cosy Stylish Dorset Cottage

3 night stay available for May Bank Holidays.
Our beautiful country cottage is full of family treasures with 2 log burning stoves & a large level private garden with a summerhouse, swing and hammock for lazy summer afternoons...

The cottage has been in our family for over 45 years and offers a unique stay in a real home, rather than a holiday home aesthetic.

It has been featured in Period Living & Homes and Gardens magazines.

It's set in a quiet hamlet surrounded by rolling hills with plentiful walks & local pubs to enjoy. There are numerous quintessential market towns within easy reach and the Jurassic coast is within an hours drive away...

The WIFI is also great making it an ideal spot for a longer term work/stay.

A beautiful setting and so peaceful. The remoteness down twisty lanes lovely for adults but a bit too long a drive from things for young children. Still we had three great days out to Monkey World, Moors Valley Country Park and Farmer Palmer's farm. The garden is lovely to relax in and nearby Sturminster Newton has great play area and tea shop.

Nothing short of idyllic - Vintage charm and Cosy Interiors

Our Christmas week at 3 Mafeking Terrace was nothing short of idyllic. Nestled in the picturesque village of Woolland in Dorset, the cottage's vintage charm and cosy interiors, complete with warm log fires and a well-stocked kitchen, provided a perfect festive retreat. The warm, inviting atmosphere was enhanced by the scenic countryside, offering a tranquil backdrop for a truly relaxing holiday. The cottage balanced rustic appeal with modern comforts, making it an ideal getaway. From the nostalgic decor to the serene surroundings, our stay was a delightful experience that left us refreshed and full of cherished memories. We had a varied age range from 5 - 70 years and it met the needs of everyone. The beautiful garden was a wonderful place for the children to play whilst also being a delightful spot to sit and drink a cup of tea and soak in the countryside. We can't wait to visit again.

Prachtig ruim huis in schitterende omgeving

We zijn een week in dit huis verbleven. Het huis is heel mooi, van alle gemakken voorzien. Bij mooi weer buiten zitten en eten en bij minder mooi weer in de serre. De keuken was heel ruim en alle keukenspullen die je nodig hebt zijn ruim aanwezig. De bedden zijn prima. De omgeving was prachtig, heel rustig. Een aanrader!
