  • Delightful thatched cottage, located in the quaint village of Wool
  • Spacious retreat with lots of room to spread out, and a garden overlooking stream
  • A wonderful destination throughout the year to enjoy the nearby coast and countryside
Property code: DC153

A thatched cottage with contemporary interiors, this home from home is just right for those looking to indulge in a solo break or romantic getaway.

This property is a charming one-bedroom thatched cottage mixing traditional styles with the contemporary in the pretty village of Wool. This cosy and characterful cottage is tastefully presented with a duck stream and wide grass verges at the front, making this a quintessential English holiday home. Its close proximity to the local pub (160 metres) and the coast (5 miles) make it an enviable location for two to enjoy a relaxing holiday.

Enter the cottage through the shared hall and into the open-plan living area through a private door; warm tones and exposed beams welcome you to sink back into the sofas in front of the electric flame fire or take a peek at the original bread oven. Step up into the spacious kitchen that has everything you need to cook up a storm, plus two large windows that fill the room with light. Head up the stairs from the living area to the bathroom, where you’ll find a WC and shower over the bath for a peaceful soak or just a quick rinse at the end of a busy day, while views of the duck stream from the low window in the double bedroom make it a cosy and tranquil place to rest. Please note, there is reduced head height in the eaves. Outside, the shared front garden has a seating area, ideal for an al fresco drink, while the private rear garden has a pretty water feature surrounded by trees and flowers.

Make sure you visit Lulworth Cove (5 miles) and Durdle Door (5.5 miles) during your stay, for breathtaking views and blue waters. If you’d prefer a walk inland, stroll the grounds of Lulworth Castle (5 miles) or Athelhampton House and Gardens (10 miles). You’re also just 6 miles from the riverside town of Wareham, where there are plenty of shops and restaurants and a 1930s cinema.

If you're looking for a quintessentially English thatched cottage with plenty of charm in a beautiful quiet little village, then look no further than this. Not only is it 5 mins walk from a mainline station (2.5 hours from Waterloo) but you can pretty much walk to most places from here too. The garden is secure for dogs. Very quiet. Very clean.

It was a really lovely cottage in an amazing village, with plenty to see and do in the area. The cottage was ideal for the dog as it had an area under cover to dry her off when we returned from some muddy walks and a secure enclosed garden. The cottage had everything we needed and we enjoy our week there despite the weather.
