About this house rental
Cosy farm cottage, full of character and period features, with a modern light and airy extension opening directly onto the private garden and terrace. This former estate gardener’s cottage has been lovingly renovated and redecorated throughout.
Hidden away in the woods on a working family farm in the heart of the Dorset countryside, Garden Cottage is also just a couple of miles from town and 30 minutes from the Jurassic coast. Family friendly and great for a group of friends.
Garden Cottage is ideal for visiting Dorset, and includes fast broadband and a comfortable workspace for work-from-home needs.
Furnished with an eclectic mix of modern and period furniture, the house has three bedrooms – one with king size bed, two with double bed. Original stripped pine doors and detailing in the original cottage. Large and airy open plan space for kitchen and dining.
Upstairs:
The master bedroom features a fine upholstered headboard to the king sized bed. The compact second bedroom, with Victorian fireplace and pine panelling, has a double bed.
The third bedroom at the end of the landing has a double bed with ornate metal bed frame in white.
The bathroom offers a large bath and separate power shower.
The stairs are original so relatively narrow compared with a modern house.
Ground floor:
Large modern extension with fully-fitted kitchen, seating area, and dining area with dining table seating six comfortably.
Well-equipped kitchen with aga, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, electric hob and oven, and larder.
French doors open directly onto the large private terrace and garden, with bbq and outdoor seating.
The large, comfortable sitting room has two sofas, open fireplace, smart TV , books, a selection of traditional board games and DVDs.
Additional smaller sitting room has a sofa, TV, wood burning stove, and desk.
Contemporary downstairs bathroom with powerful shower, wash hand basin and loo.
Separate utility room for coats and muddy boots, with washing machine, tumble drier, iron and ironing board. Includes beach towels, picnic rug, crockery and cutlery; tea towels and washing up liquid.
Wonderful walking on the farm and in many areas close by, both coast and countryside - along the river Stour at Blandford for example. Mountain biking on the farm and at other locations nearby.
CATS: Please note, the cottage is also home to two friendly cats, Autumn and Winter. We can arrange for them to be fed, or very happy if you'd care to look after them.

Relaxing property in the middle of fields and tree lined walks. We were able to use the property as a base for near by family to visit with us. Plenty of room for a meal either inside or out. New appliances and very helpful hosts. Would visit again in a heart beat,

The property was in a beautiful location, only half an hour's drive from the beaches at Sandbanks and Branksome Chine and similar to the treasure trove of the heart of the New Forest. However, you don't need to travel because the local area is good to spend time in and the garden is spacious, sunny and well equipped. There was plenty of room for me, my daughter and son-in-law and my nearly 3 year old grandsons. We were all so impressed by the standard of the decoration and equipment and the generosity of our hosts in leaving us food treats and many of life's kitchen essentials that are so easy to forget to bring. We will definitely be returning for another happy holiday

Lovely cottage with beautiful scenery
We had a great 4 nights stay. The cottage had everything you could need. Even a lovely home made cake was left for us to enjoy. It felt very homely clean and cosy, a wonderful big garden. The bed was really comfy I actually had good nights sleep, I normally struggle with strange beds when going away. Helen the owner came to see us shortly after we arrived to make sure everything was ok and gave us some ideas of where to go which was nice. We could not fault this cottage at all, will definitely be returning in the future. Thank you Helen and Westrow for accepting our booking.
