About this cottage rental
Tanners Cottage was built in 2014 on the land behind what was the old village shop and next to where the old tannery used to be located. The cottage is a detached property with an enclosed private garden.
Upon entering the property you'll find a cosy hallway leading into a modern fully equipped kitchen, the kitchen also boasts a dining area with views of the garden. Open the French doors onto the patio and you'll find an outdoor seating area to relax and enjoy the outdoors.
A utility room just off the kitchen containing a Freezer and washing machine can also be found next to the downstairs cloakroom.
The lounge is adjacent to the kitchen and again has French doors leading out onto the garden. The lounge comes complete with a log burner for those cooler evenings. A smart TV with Netflix and catchup TV can also be found.
Upstairs 2 bedrooms can be found, the master bedroom has a luxury king size bed and the 2nd bedroom has two single beds which can be converted to a king size. Please let us know the bed configuration of the 2nd bedroom when making your booking so that we can get it ready.
Located on the Isle of Purbeck (not really an island but a peninsula on the Dorset coast) and just a short drive to many local beaches it's a perfect location to relax and enjoy the generally warmer weather the south coast enjoys. Parking for one car adjacent to the cottage.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this spacious, comfortable, clean, quiet, warm cottage. It is in a great location. We walked into Wareham, where we had a good meal at The Old Granary. We had a meal at The Kings Arms, a few minutes walk from the cottage, which was superb. We spent two days at RSPB Arne, which is only a short drive away.

10.0 / 10.0
We stayed for a week as a couple and were very pleased with the overall layout of the cottage, it’s location in the village with the pub/restaurant 200 metres away and Wareham itself just a 10 minute walk. Set in a quiet corner, it was a great base to explore the many attractions in the area.
It was clean, comfortable and well stocked with essentials (and some goodies). In fact, the description in the listing is all but 100% accurate. A nice change!
One we definitely recommend and will stay at again.

Good sized cottage that you could actually live in. Excellent location for nearby amenities. Very quiet and peaceful. I would return to Tanners Cottage if staying in the area.

We loved our stay inTanners Cottage. It was super clean, and beautifully furnished and comfortable. The kitchen had all the basics and more, plenty of crockery, cutlery, pots/pans, spices, foil, cling film, tea, etc, etc. We were welcomed with delicious locally made sourdough bread and butter, jam, biscuits, milk, and more! A week of rainy weather curtailed our walks, but the comfy cottage, unique Wareham shops and local made the holiday special. The Kings Arms in Stoborough is 5 minutes walk away and has great gin and beer. And The Salt Pig in Wareham has an amazing deli selection to bring home, as well as fresh local fish and cheese. The garden and patio could do with attention, as they both have weeds and the patio could use a power wash. But that is a small thing, if I'm being picky.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage once again, great location for the beach and Wareham Quay. Very well equipped with everything we needed for the week.
10.0 / 10.0
Immaculately clean as always and well laid out. Location is ideal for exploring the local areas of Swanage and Weymouth. Bonus of having your own parking space and the little food extras the owners leave is a lovely touch. Having relatives living close by made it even better. Ideal for a family and highly recommend this property.

Enjoyed a fantastic 2 weeks at Tanners Cottage. Everything about the property was as described. The location was perfect for a short walk into Wareham which has lots of excellent shops, pubs, restaurants and cafes.
The weather just enhanced the holiday, with plenty to still do had it not been as good.
Would highly recommend and would love to return next year.

Lovely place to stay
The property is lovely with 2 good sized bedrooms, a well organised kitchen, comfortable living room and very nice garden area.
The property is well positioned to be able to get to the town centre as well as to the beach which is around 20 minutes away by car.
Only negative is that the twin beds in the second bedroom were quite soft and not comfortable for me as I have a dodgy back. The double bed in the other bedroom was much more comfortable.
Overall, as the title suggests, it is a lovely place to stay.

Lovely cottage
The cottage was clean, cosy and had everything we needed.. We particularly appreciated the welcome pack of delicious items to enjoy during our stay. The cottage is ideally located as it's easy to get to many of the lovely locations that Dorset has to offer. We would recommend the local pub (just a couple of minutes walk along the road), which was very friendly and served lovely food. We definitely intend to come back again.

Lovely house in Isle of Purbeck
The house was fabulous - high quality fittings and furnishings and very well equipped. The beds were extremely comfortable and overall, the house has everything you need. It was very well situated for touring Jurassic coast line and in the evening, it was only a 2 minute walk to a nearby pub/restaurant and about 10 minute walk to Wareham.
Overall - loved it.
Oh - and Kathy was a great help - answering questions about the property as well as providing advice about the local area.

Exceptional, spacious and well-appointed - don’t miss this one!
Beautifully appointed, spacious, clean and comfortable – everything we needed. We wanted somewhere special for our 25th wedding anniversary, and will not disappointed. This was one of those experiences where the online photos promised much, and the reality was even better! Tanners cottage is quite exceptional. We loved the spacious light kitchen – although there were only two of us, it would not have felt cramped with four. Having a patio area beyond and the garden significantly added to the flexibility of the accommodation. Recommended without hesitation - we would love to return!

Delightful Home from Home
Superb cottage in a very central location. Beautifully fitted out and with all you need for a self catering holiday and the goodies and fresh flowers on the table on arrival were a real treat. There is a lovely pub just along the road with really friendly staff and delicious food. Also a wonderful selection of pubs/ restaurants in delightful Wareham just a 10 minute stroll away. An ideal base for the area.
