About this property
One of a pair of 18th century gardener’s cottages set within a country estate, Plum Cottage exudes serenity and even includes its very own Shepherd's Hut for two in the garden.
One of a pair of 18th century gardener’s cottages set within a country estate, Plum Cottage exudes serenity. Its country chic style along with breath-taking views towards the River Stour and cricket pitch beyond provide a great hideaway to explore the stunning Dorset countryside. Chalk white walls, Farrow & Balls paints and re-upholstered vintage furniture provide the perfect space in which to relax and unwind. With an elm dining table in Plum Cottage seating ten is perfect if taken with Apple Cottage and all want to dine together.
Plum Cottage sleeps six guests - but with a special twist, as the third bedroom is the Shepherd’s Hut in the garden. With a double bed and a wood burning stove, nothing could be cosier.

A peaceful and beautifully presented cottage. One of the nicest we've ever stayed in. Perfectly located in the countryside and yet just steps away from Wimborne. It was a bonus to have the use of unlimited wood for the log burner and all the lovely food gifts and toiletries. There was a real generosity to us as guests. I couldn't recommend it highly enough.

We had a wonderful stay at Plum Cottage - the cottage itself is beautifully furnished with a really well-stocked kitchen, lovely wood-burning fire and large, comfortable beds. The Shepherd's Hut on the property is a great addition - doubling as an additional bedroom with its own heating and cosy double bed. The estate feels very secluded, with private gates and views across the countryside from the cottage, but it's located within Wimborne town so you're only a short walk from the local cafes, shops and pubs. It was a perfect weekend getaway from London!

Only two of us staying and two friends for lunch one day. Loved the location and cottagey feel of the place. Wonderful to have free run of the wood pile as used the woodburner each evening. Lounge was a great spot as sun went down over the fields.
