Warmwell Lodge

Warmwell, Dorset

Warmwell, located in the picturesque South West of England, is home to an intriguing Grade II listed early Victorian property that offers a delightful retreat for families or couples. This beautiful cottage, which accommodates up to four guests in two bedrooms, is situated at the entrance of a Jacobean Manor house in a tranquil village just a few miles from the bustling county town of Dorchester. The interior of the cottage is tastefully decorated, blending stylish antiques and designer fabrics with contemporary features, including a well-equipped kitchen and a modern bathroom, creating a perfect holiday atmosphere.

Guests can enjoy the cozy ambiance of the lounge, especially during the winter months, thanks to a warm log-burner that adds to the charm of the space. In the summer, the garden becomes an inviting spot for al fresco dining, accompanied by the soothing sounds of birds and the sight of local horses grazing in the adjoining field. The interior maintains a sympathetic color scheme, showcasing original features such as mullion windows, a bread oven, and exposed beams, which enhance the property’s historical character while providing modern comforts.

The village of Warmwell boasts stunning countryside views and a selection of charming properties, including a delightful XIII century church and the Manor House, which provides access to several scenic footpaths. Dining options nearby include The Wise Man at West Stafford, The New Inn in West Knighton, and The Sailors Return in East Chaldon, all known for their delicious offerings. For those wishing to dine by the sea, The Smugglers Inn in Osmington Mills is a fantastic choice, with the added benefit of a rocky beach nearby, and a picturesque walk to Ringstead beach along the coastal path.

For visitors looking to explore the surrounding attractions, the area is rich with options such as the renowned Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door, ideal for picnics, swimming, or simply soaking in the stunning scenery. Families will particularly enjoy visits to Monkey World, The Tank Museum, and Farmer Palmer’s farm.
