Description from owner
The Thatched Cottage is a stunning example of a renovated Grade II listed cottage, situated in a conservation area in the idyllic village of Cranborne, within the rural retreat of Cranborne Chase; an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This beautifully presented property, which originally dates back to the 1600's, seamlessly blends a wealth of character features with bespoke modern fixtures and fittings, to provide a spacious and comfortable accommodation throughout. The secluded grounds comprise of well maintained gardens, a good sized parking area and a detached barn incorporating a double garage,
This charming cottage is positioned in a convenient location within the heart of Cranborne village centre, with all the local amenities nearby. This peaceful and pretty village has a village shop, two good public houses, two hotels with restaurants which also include a Country Club and a Stately Home - Cranborne Manor incorporating a garden centre and tea rooms. There is also great beer at The Six Penny Brewery with its Tap bar open to the public everyday and is just a 10 minute stroll through the lovely countryside. The medieval village lies within the beautiful countryside of Cranborne Chase, designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty.
The well known nearby market towns of Ringwood and Wimborne, which are approximately ten miles distant, offer excellent shopping facilities with both having a Waitrose supermarket. The superb outdoor pursuits in the area include; walking, riding and cycling at Cranborne Chase or within the New Forest, approx seven miles away. The cathedral city of Salisbury is approx eighteen miles distant. The A31 and A338 are easily accessed at Ringwood, and heading south-west you will reach Bournemouth, Poole and the coast. Heading east along the A31 the city of Southampton is approx 18 miles distant (from Ringwood) via the M27, and onwards to London via the M3. Paultons Park with its Peppa Pig World is also just a short drive away. There are many attractions nearby including Hollybrook Farm just 5 minutes drive away, The Heavy Horse Center, Monkey World, The Tank Museum, Sealife Center, Moor’s Valley Country Park plus many more. The amazing sandy beaches in Bournemouth and Sandbanks are also just a short drive away.
A covered thatched porch and front door opens into a particularly spacious reception hall, finished with attractive wood-block flooring and comprising an oak staircase rising to the first floor and beams to the ceiling (which also feature in the two principal reception rooms). Adjacent, the elegant sitting room has a double aspect, with an inglenook fireplace providing an attractive focal point. The second reception room is a dining room, and also features an impressive brick inglenook fireplace and wood-block flooring, and is semi-open plan to the rear aspect kitchen/breakfast room, which has underfloor heating. The modern kitchen is fitted with a good range of cream units, with granite work-surfaces and a range of quality integrated Neff appliances, including a dishwasher, fridge/freezer, inset oven, combination oven and induction hob. The breakfast area offers a breakfast table with a glazed roof above providing ample natural light and French doors opening onto the beautiful gardens. A separate utility room houses further appliances. Leading off the kitchen is a useful shower room with a WC, which is fully tiled.
From the first floor landing are four bedrooms and a beautifully presented family bathroom suite; with underfloor heating and comprising an oval bath, pedestal wash basin and WC. The well appointed master bedroom has the benefit of a built in wardrobe at the side of the chimney breast and a quality fitted en-suite shower room, which includes a large walk in shower cubicle. Both bathroom suites feature attractive window shutters. Bedrooms two and three have an aspect to the front, whilst bedroom four has a rear aspect and a walk in wardrobe. Unlike many traditional thatched cottages which have restricted head height, this cottage boasts exceptional headroom throughout the majority of the property.
There is vehicular access around the side of the property, through a five bar gate, to a good sized shingle parking area and the substantial detached Barn, which incorporates a double garage with twin doors. The gardens are beautifully maintained and are mainly laid to lawn, with a superb terrace positioned to make the most of the evening sun, bordered by pretty flower/shrub beds and mature hedge rows.

Such a great property with all its quirks as a thatched cottage. Perfectly situated with easy access to the coast and the New Forest.

My stay was completely excellent. Janice was a fantastic host going above and beyond throughout my stay. Thank you Janice!

We stayed at The Thatched Cottage last week, for a family group to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary and it was perfect. So modern, clean and cosy, and very well equipped, in a quiet location but within easy reach of supermarkets and restaurants. We were six adults and two boys aged 6 and 7, who loved the bunk beds and the themed rooms. We nabbed the Heart Room with ensuite for ourselves but the family shared the other bathroom and shower room. There was ample hot water, and the heating was efficient though we didn’t need it much. Monkey World, Moors Valley Park and the Heavy Horse Farm were all perfect days out, and the weather behaved itself. Didn’t get to eat at the Sheaf of Arrows unfortunately as it was closed due to sickness, but we took a walk for a beer at the Sixpenny Tap which was lovely. Great instructions and communications from Janice, we have no hesitation in recommending this cottage and would happily stay there again.

THE THATCH COTTAGE IS AN EXCELLENT PROPERTY & THERE IS NO DOUBT THE OWNERS HAVE SPENT A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT SETTING IT UP. UNFORTUNATELY NOT ENOUGH DETAIL WENT INTO THE BATHROOM FACILITIES.
UPON ARRIVAL WE REALISED THAT ONE OF THE THREE BATHROOMS WAS LOCATED ON THE GROUND FLOOR IMMEDIATELY NEXT TO THE REAR FRENCH WINDOWS. THE SECOND SHOWER BATHROOM WAS AN UPSTAIRS ENSUITE BUT THE THIRD BATHROOM INSTEAD OF HAVING A SHOWER FACILITY OVER THE BATH HAD NO SHOWER. BEARING IN MIND THIS IS AN 8 PERSON PROPERTY I THINK IT IS TOTALLY UNREASONABLE TO EXPECT ANYONE LET ALONE PEOPLE ABOVE PENSION AGE TO EITHER ALL SHARE THE ENSUITE OR NEGOTIATE WHAT ARE UNDERSTANDABLY STEEP STAIRS TO WASH DOWNSTAIRS OF A MORNING. WHEN I TELEPHONED THE OWNERS THEY WERE WELL AWARE THE SHOWER HAD BEEN REMOVED BUT OBVIOUSLY HAD DONE NOTHING TO UPDATE THEIR WEBSITE. I DIDN`T FIND THE COMMENT THAT HE WAS SURE PEOPLE ENJOY A BATH VERY HELPFUL. IN ADDITION THAT MAIN BATHROOM HAS NO FAN EXTRACTION FITTED WHICH MEANS IT IS AGAIN VERY AWKWARD FOR MULTIPLE OCCUPANCY AS IT IS THE ONLY UPSTAIRS TOILET OTHER THAN THE BEDROOM ENSUITE. STRANGELY FROM THE OUTSIDE THERE APPEARS TO BE THE EXTRACTION GRILL BUT PRESUMABLY WHEN THE BATHROOM WAS REDECORATED THAT WAS ALSO REMOVED.
FOUR OF US STAYED ALL OF AN AGE. NONE FANCIED PARADING THROUGH THE PROPERTY TO GO FOR A WASH IN THE MORNINGS OR INDEED AFTER RETURNING FROM OUR JOURNEYS. WE WOULD NOT HAVE CHOSEN THIS PROPERTY IF THE FACILITIES HAD BEEN CORRECTLY LISTED

Everything about this lovely home was perfect. Everything you could need is supplied. The bedding was so soft and warm. There were plenty of dishes and cookware. Janice responds so quickly and offered to turn on lights if we arrived late. The yard is as cute as the house. The kids didn’t want to leave. 5 stars over and over.

Lovely quiet Villiage.
Cottage very spacious and super clean.
Everything you need in a kitchen.
No mobile reception- which we loved!
Nice local restaurants and pubs, all within easy walk.
Very relaxing stay, we will be back!
Thank you

Great contact with owner and really clear instructions - cottage is beautiful and really clean and well kept - has everything that you could want if you want to cook for yourself, however, has two great pubs and a brewery with tap room within 10mins walk - thank you so much for a great stay

This cottage is a delight to stay in. Beautiful in itself, tastefully furnished and well-equipped, in a lovely area. I’d thoroughly recommend it.
4.9
The process of selecting this property was easy, as was the booking & communication with VRBO as well as the host. The property was amazing, well furnished & equipped, with clear instructions on appliances etcetera & Janice (host) was at the end of a phone should there be any queries. The property was both spacious, stylish & comfortable. The local amenities were great; good pubs & places to eat in Cranborne without using the car. The location was ideal for touring other parts of Dorset too; which we thoroughly enjoyed. The Halfpenny Brewery & tap room are not to be missed - very welcoming & great beers. All together a thoroughly good short break & one which we would like to repeat in the summer to enjoy the garden more.

The property was well located in a village with good amenities and a short drive to the coast at Bournemouth. The kitchen was well equipped and the lounge comfy for evenings in.
4.9
We rented for 3 weeks and enjoyed every minute. Family and friends arrived and went during this time and allowed myself and Stacey a week on our own. Cranbourne is well placed as a base to explore. Janice was very accommodating and ensured the property was equipped with everything necessary. (I did purchase a knife sharpener). Only the LA Fosse offered good food in the area which was disappointing.

We spent a fabulous week at The Thatched Cottage and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a home away from home. It is beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean with a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. The garden and outside seating area is wonderful, and it was lovely to sit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings and birdlife. The location was superb for our sightseeing day trips to Salisbury, Stonehenge, Corfe Castle, Durdle Door, Bovington and Portsmouth, and the village of Cranborne itself is lovely and quiet with a pretty church and Manor House with beautiful gardens. It also has several restaurants serving great food and a well stocked local store, and everyone was wonderfully friendly. Janice was a fantastic host and provided us with all the information we needed, along with great driving directions and interesting history on the cottage itself. Thanks so much for everything Janice! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to visiting again.

A great stay
My husband, 3 year old daughter and I stayed at the Thatch Cottage for 3 nights and we loved it! We stayed with some family friends who had 2 kids.
It was very clean, beautifully decorated and the beds were comfortable.
The amenities were excellent including a huge TV including Netflix, large garden, a gas BBQ, enough parking for 3 cars. A high chair and a lovely welcome with tea, shortbread, Nespresso coffee capsules, milk and sugar!
The location was perfect for us to drive to Monkey World, Peppa Pig World (Poultons Park) and the beautiful Branksom Chine Beach, all within 30-40 minutes drive away. We also shopped at the local Morrisons which was 10 minutes drive away.
Janice was in constant communication with us from the booking all the way to the end. She was accommodating with our arrival and check out times as well.
There were extra pillows, duvets, if you ever needed it. The house was kitted out with great cleaning products.
If you want a lovely place, with great amenities and excellent communication with the owner. We all would recommend the Thatch cottage and would happily come and stay again.

Easter Family Break
First impressions were great. The property was spotlessly clean and everything we expected. Very well equipped kitchen. Beautiful rooms all of which combined beams, uneven floors and reduced head space with modern conveniences. Comfortable beds with good quality sheets and duvets. Outside there is plenty of space for socializing with various seating areas. The under floor heating in the kitchen area makes it very comfortable when having your morning coffee from the Espresso machine. The village is small and quiet but has two pubs and a great little shop selling local produce including the most delicious sourdough bread from the Orchard Bakery. One thing we missed but not meant as a criticism is that there is little/no internet outside of the WiFi. We struggled to make phone calls at times. Janice (our host) was always available and was very helpful so thank you to her.
Would recommend 100% for a comfortable stay in a village environment.

We had a short but wonderful stay in the Thatched Cottage in Cranborne.

New Year at The Thatched Cottage
We have just spent a very enjoyable week over the New Year at this charming thatched cottage in Cranborne. The cottage was warm and cosy, we felt at home as soon as we entered, with lovely Christmas decorations and a much appreciated welcome pack waiting for us. We can’t rate this cottage highly enough from the cleanliness to the high quality fixtures and fittings this is obviously a much loved home with everything we needed and more. Janice was easy to communicate with letting us know when the cottage was ready for our arrival, instructions for the heating etc. There are lovely walks in the area and not to far from the coast. We found the local brewery a ten minute walk away and good pubs in the village (most important!!) We thoroughly enjoyed our stay would not hesitate to visit again. Thanks for everything Janice

Perfect family week in charming Dorset village
We had a wonderful family holiday at the Thatched Cottage. We were a extended family with a toddler and the place was kitted out to perfection! The cottage is really spacious and very charmingly decorated. The kitchen had been expertly equipped, we cooked at home many nights for all of us and there nothing we were missing. The village is small but lovely, perfect size for a toddler to get around. The General store was very convenient and the Garden Centre and cafe are lovely to browse. We didn't eat out at the restaurant La Fosse but it looked amazing. The brewery, close by, was also a treat. We enjoyed their beers and a pizza on Friday night. This was meant to be a Christmas holiday for us all but with Covid we had to delay twice before finally managing to visit. Janice was understanding and flexible each we needed to rearrange. It was worth the wait and we certainly recommend it and hope to visit again.
4.9
Amazing cottage, with everything we needed. Good local pubs and the walk to the brewery is essential. Great location for getting to the coast, New Forest and exploring Cranborne Chase. Thanks for a lovely holiday.

Our family absolutely loved “the Thatched Cottage.” We had everything thing we needed! The house is warm and inviting with modern touches that complimented the historic features. The location was perfect for a trip to the beach, a visit to the Tank Museum and to Stonehenge! The village is idyllic—there’s the church with its 1000 monastic origins and Norman features and there’s also a charity book shop with a collection of used new and old/antique books. The local garden center has a lovely cafe for breakfast/lunch—I was especially thrilled to find a selection of Gluten Free choices. Our only regret is not having a longer holiday to really enjoy all that the Thatched Cottage had to offer!

Superb base for exploring and relaxing
We so enjoyed our stay at The Thatched Cottage in Cranbourne. We were two couples and the space allowed us to both have a lovely bedroom and our own bathrooms. The three reception rooms were lovely and we had a few great meals in - cooked in the well equipped kitchen and eaten in the spacious dining room. We were unable to get booked into The Fosse, the local restaurant but enjoyed many fun times in the Fleur de Lys pub. Swum in the sea off Hengistbury Head Beach, visited Hardys Cottage, walked in the New Forest (with the ponies) and did a lot of shopping! Would heartily recommend a visit (or two) to the garden centre in the village and Wimborne Minster (pubs galore). We would love to stay again as we feel a week was just not long enough.

The cottage is fantastic inside with everything that you need and has a fabulous seating area and enclosed garden outside. The village itself has two pubs, a restaurant and a nearby brewery so there are easy eating and drinking options on your doorstep. It is a great location for exploring the surrounding countryside, the New Forest and nearby beaches.

Wonderful Stay
This cottage was everything and more than we expected. The attention to detail was exceptional. How could not having an ice cream scoop be the worst fault we came across ?
The Sheaf of Arrows is a good pub, the Fleur de Les is a more expensive but great staff.
We discovered the Sixpenny Brewery on our last day, which was probably a good thing as I think it could have been very messy.
Janice was a superb host. Which could be thought of as strange, when you consider we never saw each other.

The Thatched Cottage, Cranbourne is ideally situated right in the centre of the village and is beautifully appointed with a lovely large garden and outside patio with barbeque. We were a gang of four (two couples) in our 60's & 70's and found it to be very comfortable all round. We also had electric bikes with us so it was great to have a locked garage with power for charging. We honestly couldn't find any fault with the property and Janice was very attentive all the way through the booking and our stay.Cranborne itself has several eating places which were all good and then there is the added benefit of nearby village pubs and restaurants. The Crane Valley golf club was also very welcoming and it is very easy to get into the beautiful West side of the New Forest by bike as well as car. The local area is also superb for walking and visiting the very local Cranborne Manor House gardens is a must.We had a great week there!Nigel

Lovely cottage
It is a lovely cottage and very well fitted out. The village is small but has useful store as well as good eating and drinking places.
The only downside is the traffic, outside of the school runs, passing close by which was more than you would expect for a small village.

Perfect Getaway
My partner and I headed off for a break away from work etc for a few days for his birthday.
The property itself is stunning and very family friendly. Loved the beams and the decor, very comfortable and felt very homely right away. Brilliant that families are catered for. The owners left a brilliant guide for us and were happy to help with any questions, just a shame we couldn’t meet during to COVID!
The area itself has pubs and restaurants in walking distance- but so so quiet!
A perfect getaway and would 100% recommend to others. Looking forward to going back!
