A Perfect Getaway Holiday Home, Impeccably Stylish, Rustic Luxury

The Space: The Cottage at Wantsley Farm is set in the glorious Dorset countryside, 20 minutes from the Jurassic coast and within walking distance of the beautiful village of Beaminster. You can walk straight from the door (the footpath starts 100yrds down the road) across the hills more or less through the set of Far From the Madding Crowd. The cottage is in the grounds of Wantsley Farm, a lovely family farmhouse which has 17 acres of rolling hills and woodland (also available for hire). It has its own patio seating area, and parking space for 2 cars. The cottage has a kingsize bed in the master bedroom, complete with roll-top bath, and 2 single beds in the other, with a pull out bed for a 5th person. There is a shower room with loo and a separate downstairs loo. Oak floors throughout, exposed beams, a wood-burning stove and French windows make the cottage light and airy in the summer months and delightfully cosy in the winter. There is a patio with table and chairs just outside the sitting room. Due to the close proximity of a thatched roof I'm afraid it's no BBQ's.
Guest Access: Guests have access to the farms fields, streams, the woodland and can walk (100yds down the road to the footpath) over the hill to the local pub in nearby Stoke Abbott. Spare linen will be in the cottage, maid service will be weekly.
Interaction with Guests. Guests can feel welcome to drop in with requests or for local advice, but their privacy is respected in every way.
During your stay at this cottage, you're just a quick walk from Broadwindsor Craft and Design Centre. Features include laundry facilities. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the cottage.

A wonderful stay in an idyllic setting. The grounds the cottage is on is so beautiful and we had such a great time exploring and loved the nature trail! Charlotte and Tim have put a lot of thought into making it a great experience for guests.It’s a beautiful part of the world with so much to see and do.House highlight was the incredibly comfy master bed with roll top bath!

Lovely Christmas stay

A lovely cosy cottage that was ideal for a Christmas stay with a toddler and dog in tow. Cottage was warm and well-equipped with everything we needed. 20-25 mins from nearest beaches and we also enjoyed walking round the farm and visiting the chickens. We would stay here again - super spot!

Lovely cottage for a week in Dorset

Had a lovely stay at the cottage, which was in a good location for visiting Lyme Regis, West Bay, Charmouth and Devon. The children enjoyed feeding the chickens and there was lots to do for families in the area. Would recommend the cottage for anyone wanting to visit the area.

Pleasant stay

We had a pleasant stay in this well appointed house. The garden area was smaller than we thought and as the owner's pointed out dogs must be on a lead as there is a main road next door. A good location for exploring places if interest in Dorset, Devon and Somerset.

Lovely spot!

The accommodation was comfortable and as described online. The cottage manual was useful, extensive and on the whole correct although a couple of places we were recommended to only opened at the end of the week… Would have been nice to have, in addition to half a dozen of their hens eggs, and pint of milk on arrival as we were limited as to where we could get some. Overall would recommend the cottage.

Lovely property in rural location, but near to town for amenities. Beautiful location.

The cottage is furnished to high standard with everything to ensure a comfortable stay. The view from the kitchen window is amazing (when the cloud is not low)! There are lots of places to walk. The 5 year old with us loved exploring and feeding the chickens, that are very tame. It’s in a lovely quiet location, but only about 20 minutes by car to the nearest beach. The owners were very helpful and responded to messages very quickly.

Lovely time

We had a really enjoyable holiday and we were blessed with some lovely weather. We did think that it needed some extra dishes ie salad bowl, bread bin, extra eggs cups ( only 3 available) and there was only 4 coat hangers. The cottage itself was cosy and very comfortable and the bed was really comfortable. Charlotte met us and she made us very welcome.

Fabulous new yrs stay

We had a fab week stay in the cottage. Communication with Charlotte was fantastic, easy instructions in the manual on how everything worked. The cottage is cosy and had everything we needed. Surroundings are great and the kids had so much fun on the rope swings and zip wire. Location was good, the local village is lovely. We ventured into Lyme Regis, West Bay, Golden Cap and lulworth. Coming back from chilly beach days to the roll top bath and wood burner in the cottage was super nice. None of us wanted to leave, So we will definitely be returning!

Could have done better with having some goodies on arrival

Enjoyed the cottage very clean. Met Tim second day and he spent some time helping sort the video player out so thanks for that. Lovely conversion of the barn nice and peaceful even though main road was at the back of the property which didn’t bother us. Lovely rolling hills to walk the dog very safe and lovely chickens

Beautiful Cottage which allows dogs :)

Lovely place to stay as a central base in Dorset, clean and well-appointed with clear instructions for optimum use of the cottage and area. Granted we stayed in February but I'd take some slippers next time as the floor is cold but the water was hot, shower was great and bed was very comfy. No communication with hosts whilst we were there but we didn't intitiate as we were out all day but I'm sure they'd be quick to respond to any issues as communication prior to this was very easy. Overall I would recommend.
