Expect cosy sumptuousness at this 18th-century cottage in the heart of Wimborne. Impeccably dressed, the interiors are a cohesive blend of modern and traditional – think licks of Farrow & Ball paint, reupholstered vintage furniture and plenty of mod-cons to make your stay a cinch. Downstairs, there’s a fully-equipped kitchen with gorgeous garden views, and an inviting living space – we loved curling up on the squashy sofas with a slice of your host’s homemade cake and a hot cup of tea on blustery afternoons. Upstairs, two quaint bedrooms ensure a good night’s sleep. You’ll find the third bedroom outside in the shepherd’s hut – it’s an idyllic little cabin with its own log-burning stove to keep you toasty on chilly evenings. Step out of your front door and you’ll find a number of indie shops, restaurants and cafes less than five minutes from your abode. If you’re keen to explore a little further afield, the golden beaches at Bournemouth are reached in twenty-five minutes by car. Or why not visit the famous Durdle Door? The natural limestone arch is a forty-five-minute drive away and is a must-see while in the area.
