About this property
This wonderful Grade II listed cottage is set in the heart of the picturesque village of Beaminster in Dorset. Boasting some original stone windows, a large traditional inglenook fireplace and plenty of character that you would expect to find in a listed cottage, Jenny Wrens makes for an enchanting rural retreat for the entire family to explore Dorset. Recently renovated, Jenny Wrens now offers a divine country kitchen/dining room, that has an original window seat, choose to curl up here with a drink and a good book or gather together to cook a delicious meal. The lovely living room has a beautiful original inglenook fireplace, now with a woodburner-style gas fire, ideal for those evenings watching your favourite TV shows and if a good book is your secret pleasure, the reading room offers the perfect place to curl up with a new book. Climb the stairs to the first floor and you will find four bedrooms that offer cottage style and comfort with a bright double with en-suite shower room, a twin bedroom with an en-suite, bath with shower over, a large king-size double with original feature fireplace and an exceptionally large twin with a beautiful wardrobe. All offer wonderful cottage charm, well-presented beds and invite you to relax and unwind.

The accommodation was perfect for the 8 of us and the dogs and the owners had kindly put up some decorations to make it festive. The walls are beautifully thick which meant lots of really good nightsâ sleep after cosy evening with lots of wine and board games. Beaminster itself is a beautiful village and the parking was easy to sort offsite.

Beaminster had local shops etc which was very useful. The cottage had everything we could need and was like a home from home! Would definitely recommend to anyone and even though there is only one car parking space we never had any issues finding another in the parking area at the square (we traveled in 2 vehicles). We will probably book again next year as there is so many places we still want to explore.

Small parking space, but very cheap (£4/day) parking in Yarn Barton car park less than a minute from the front door. Well appointed kitchen, stocked with everything youâd need to eat all together (although with whatâs on offer to eat out in town why would you!). And very pleasant to find washing up liquid/kitchen spray/dishwasher tabs already in the cupboard instead of having to buy new packs. Washing machine/ speedy tumble dryer/ clothes horse all readily available. Our only complaint would be that the ironing board cover was ripped, but it did mean I could justify having crinkly clothes!
