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. 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-burner 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.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

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

We'd definitely return!
Peaceful, relaxing, comfortable, spacious. This delightful cottage offered everything and more for our 2 week stay. After being out most days,either hiking or discovering the environs, it was our haven to return to. Blissfully quiet, field views & chickens to keep you amused in the next field. Tim greeted us with fresh eggs and home made jam, he and Charlotte live in the farm house (not attached) & each other's privacy was respected, however, they were available to deal with any queries, which we didn't have. Charlotte had left some wonderful recommendations in the manual. We were sad to leave & look forward to returning.

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.

Lovely cottage
We had a thoroughly enjoyable week at Wantsley Cottage. The cottage was lovely and clean with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The chickens were a pleasure to watch and the walks around the grounds were enjoyable too.

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.

Nice barn like cottage. Lounge very dark. Sofa and armchair very uncomfortable. We were told the owners were away until Tuesday. When they got home they not once came to our cottage to welcome us. 1st time we have ever not had a pint of milk in the fridge or welcome pot of jam or cake on arrival. Felt very isolated and unfriendly. The walk suggested in the brochure they provided was overgrown and impassable. We all got stung by stinging nettles as they were so high. The oven took ages to heat up.
