Plum Cottage, situated in Wimborne, Hampshire, is a charming 18th-century gardener’s cottage nestled within a picturesque country estate. This serene retreat accommodates up to six guests and features a unique blend of country chic style and modern comforts. The cottage boasts stunning views of the River Stour and a nearby cricket pitch, providing an idyllic setting for those looking to explore the breathtaking Dorset countryside. The interior is adorned with chalk white walls, Farrow & Ball paints, and re-upholstered vintage furniture, creating a relaxing atmosphere perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration.
The accommodation includes two main bedrooms and a special third bedroom located in a Shepherd’s Hut in the garden. The master bedroom features a king-size double bed with views of the surrounding countryside, while the second bedroom offers a hand-built twin bunk bed. The Shepherd’s Hut adds a cozy touch, equipped with a double bed and a wood-burning stove. Guests can enjoy communal meals at the elm dining table, which can seat up to ten when combined with Apple Cottage, another rental available on-site, making it an excellent option for larger gatherings.
Upon arrival, guests are greeted with a welcome basket filled with local homemade treats, including freshly baked bread, free-range eggs, homemade jam, and a selection of Dorset teas and ground coffee. The cottage is pet-friendly, allowing one well-behaved dog for a small additional charge. Families traveling with young children can request a high chair and travel cot, ensuring a comfortable stay. The property also provides a welcome basket of logs for the wood-burning stove and offers a secure card-on-file system instead of a traditional damage deposit.
Plum Cottage is conveniently located near various attractions, including Poole Harbour and Poole Quay, making it an ideal base for outdoor activities such as fishing, cycling, and family-friendly adventures like the Motorsport Simulation Group and Splashdown Waterpark. Guests can also explore local attractions such as Wimborne Model Town and Knoll Gardens. With its tranquil setting and comprehensive amenities, Plum Cottage promises a memorable getaway in the heart of the South of England.
