Apple Cottage - A stylish country retreat, it's the ideal getaway.

Whilst enjoying precious down-time in your Dorset Hideaway, you can take a soak in the roll top bath, curl up in front of the fire, sit back and take in the lovely views or entertain yourselves with the Apple TV with Netflix account, guests receive a £20 credit for Apple movies, so even the wettest of days can be enjoyed.

Foodies will be delighted to receive a welcome basket of local, homemade treats on arrival. Expect to be greeted with freshly baked bread from our local bakery, locally sourced free-range eggs, home-baked treats, locally produced jam and of course milk in the fridge and a selection of Dorset teas and ground coffee.

This cottage is clean, cosy and full of useful goodies. Thank you for the local bread, butter, milk, eggs and jam. Coming off an international flight to find we have breakfast in the morning was amazing. The cottage is set behind a secure gate on a country estate so is serene and beautiful. However in 5 mins you can walk to shops, cafes and pubs in the little market town of Wimborne. This is a perfect place to explore from. We absolutely loved it.
The backyard view isn’t too bad!!
