The location is frequently described as ideal, with easy access to local attractions and countryside walks. The presence of nearby animals and the peaceful setting are often mentioned positively.
Comfort
Most guests found the property comfortable, mentioning cosy beds and a warm atmosphere. However, there were some negative comments about uncomfortable seating and a damp smell, which slightly lowers the score.

Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches such as fresh flowers, welcome notes, and dog-friendly amenities. While gifts like local tea and biscuits are mentioned, it's important to note that such personal touches, though delightful, are not guaranteed.
About this property
Beautiful Grade II listed early Victorian property located at the entrance to a Jacobean Manor house within a wonderful village of Warmwell which is a few miles from Dorchester, a busy county town in Dorset.
With stylish decorations throughout and antiques, designer fabrics blending to contemporary interior including well-equipped kitchen and modern bathroom, this cottage is a delightful holiday home for families or couples.
Get warm by a cosy log-burner and sit in the lounge in winter months or in summer you can enjoy eating in the garden with birds singing in the sunshine. The local horses are a nice relaxing view as they happily graze in the adjoining field.
Sympathetic colour scheme has been added throughout the interior of the bedrooms along with original features such as mullion windows, bread oven and beams.
The village of Warmwell has stunning countryside views and a few charming properties with character worth your attention. The village includes a delightful XIII century church, Manor House to access several footpaths criss-crossing the estate.
Locally you have a choice of options. The Wise Man at West Stafford, The New Inn in West Knighton, The Sailors Return in East Chaldon all serving delicious food.
If you wish to eat close to the sea, try The Smugglers Inn in Osmington Mills with a rocky beach close-by. You can take a walk to Ringstead beach along the coastal path too.
If you in athe area, why not to visit Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door, one of the most popular sightseeing places in Dorset. You can’t find a better place to have a picnic or bask in the sun, or have a swim surrounded by all the beauty.
