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.

Local guide


About Poole

The coastal town of Poole is home to Europe's largest natural harbour. Wander around the historic quayside with its impressive ships and luxury powerboats, or admire the Georgian architecture in the Old Town. In the middle of Poole Harbour, tiny Brownsea Island, famous for Lord Baden-Powell's scout camps, contains paths that meander through beautiful woods and heaths, where you'll see red deer, peacocks and red squirrels. Make sure you stop...

Host


This home is managed by Oliver

This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.

This home is a Plum Guide Award winner.
