Step out of the front door and you are next to Winfrith Heath and Tadnoll nature reserve The single storey 'Stable' has been beautifully restored and equipped to a very high standard with the emphasis on making your stay as comfortable as possible. It has two double bedrooms each with a double bed (both with en-suite). An open-plan design links the kitchenette, dining and lounge areas. The property stands within the one acre grounds of the owners' Grade 2 listed cottage and the outlook from all aspects is onto the garden which is also yours to share (and enjoy the peace and tranquillity) while you are here. Garden furniture is supplied, during summer months. Bed linen and towels are supplied and electricity/water and free high speed wifi are included in the cost. Unfortunately, The Stable is unsuitable for either very young children (5 years old and younger) or pets.

We had a lovely time on our stay in this cosy and beautifully clean property all was as described, and the milk, tea and cookies were a lovely touch. The booking in process was really easy and Paul was a good host. The garden is nicely kept and a paradise if you like birdwatching and the beautiful local surrounding area makes this a wonderful place to stay. We would definately recommend

A lovely stable conversion in immaculate condition with a very pleasant owner Paul who makes every effort to make your stay enjoyable. All on one level if you dislike stairs and very comfortable beds and armchairs etc. Plenty of safe free parking and the property is inside the owners gated compound so we were happy about leaving valuables behind. The phone signal is weak here and in most of Dorset but free fast wi-fi is provided. The location is ideal if you are interested in: Dorchester, Wareham, Weymouth, Swanage, Lulworth Cove, Durdle door, T. E. Lawrence, Whistler's etched glass, Athelhampton House, The Tank museum, ... and the owner knows which pubs to eat at, quiet beaches, ... We were very happy here and I feel it would be ideal accomodation at any time except the pit of winter.

The hosts were friendly, available and helpful with lots of tips on places to visit. The Stables were clean, well equipped and comfortable. We had walks on our doorstep and plenty of interesting places to visit including the world’s only scanners which is a site to behold. We would definitely book again if in the area.

Comfortable cottage in a quiet situation adjoining heathland wildlife reserves. Spotlessly clean throughout and very well equipped with everything you could possibly want for a self catering break.

Excellent accommodation and well equipped cottage in a beautiful setting. Carol and Mick the owners give a great welcome and have a wonderful outlook on life.

Sunny tranquility

We loved the welcome , friendly and helpful conversation with Paul. Our exploration in sunny weather was rewarding , and the delightful garden was a leafy, tranquil retreat. Best visit ; the Walled Garden. Worst moment; discovering it cost 14 to park the car at Lulworth Cove after the first hour! … And I loved my early morning runs exploring the paths of the Heath.

our second visit

We stayed for a week last year and decided that two weeks would provide an opportunity to really explore the surrounding countryside and nearby coast. We returned to this property as it is ideal for this in addition to having itself a lovely garden and environment. The host lives nearby and is extremely helpful and approachable. I cannot recommend too highly this property if you are looking for a nice retreat away from the city. The property has everything you would need. Wool is just down the road and has a large Spa convenience shop and there are numerous pubs/restaurants around. The host will update you as to the " better ones " .
