Overview
Property code: 77787

A delightful cottage situated in a quintessential Dorset village, this is a great location to enjoy an array of history and heritage locally, with the Jurassic Coast on its’ doorstep.

Set on the eastern edge of the pretty village of Wool, this delightful three-bedroom cottage is a blissful idyll from the busy modern world. Explore Wool’s historic 17th-century Woolbridge Manor, 14th-century chapel, with its Thomas Hardy connection and the 12th-century ruins of Bindon Abbey (0.5 miles), home to a wonderful wellness retreat. Bask in the exquisite beauty of Lulworth Cove (5 miles), a unique horseshoe-shaped bay with a cafe, fossil forest walk and summer trips to iconic Durdle Door and dramatic Mupe Bay (5 miles). Browse the ancient market town of Wareham (6 miles), with its wonderful seafood restaurants, antique shops and Tank Museum – and discover its connection with Lawrence of Arabia.

Inside the Grade II-listed cottage, you’ll find a tranquil fusion of rural elegance and minimal modern magic. With wildlife-themed décor in quirky nooks, crannies and angles, this house is a little miracle. Prepare delicious local seafood in the quaint kitchen/diner, and spill out into the rear garden for al fresco feasts and morning coffee and croissants. Gather in the cosy lounge for convivial evenings of wine and reminiscence, before drifting upstairs for a steaming bath or a dreamy sleep in one of the three gorgeous bedrooms, each with its own idiosyncratic charm – up a few steps, the king-size has lovely garden views; the twin has two 4ft beds.

Find the sweeping sandy crescent of Worbarrow Bay (8 miles), Kimmeridge Bay’s superb marine wildlife, fossils and clear-water snorkelling (9 miles) and take a ferry from Studland’s sublime Shell Bay (9 miles) to Sandbanks, or a boat to Brownsea Island. Explore charming Corfe Castle (9 miles) and the unique maritime delights of Poole and Swanage (15 miles), Bournemouth (19 miles) and Christchurch (25 miles); visit the famous Poole Pottery, blissful St Aldhelm’s Head (13 miles), Bournemouth’s Oceanarium and uplifting Christchurch Abbey.

Lovely warm cottage of good size in excellent condition. Beautiful rear garden with nice patio table and chairs. Sadly the weather wasnt good enough to sit outdoors. Very central in an area where theres lots to see and do. The bakery just a few yards around the corner is fantastic and we visited many times. Would highly recommend.

A lovely village location for a pretty and well equipped cottage. If you want a holiday not too far from the shops, pubs and amenities, within a short distance of the coast, this is well worth considering.

Lovely location, quite near to station were you also get buses to many locations like Durdle Door, Lulworth cove,Monkey World& Swanage. Local bakery just minutes away worth a visit. Pub just minutes away too but we enjoyed the Ship inn nearer to the station. Would have appreciated some means of drying washing as no tumble dryer or washing line justRead more small clothes horse. Also towels are provided although website & booking info says not. Hide

Beautiful cottage in a lovely village with baker, butcher, pubs and spar all to hand. Great walks from the cottage, we walked to Lulworth. Very comfortable and well presented property. Beware those over 6ft as some low door frames and beams. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils overall and nice to have fridge and freezer. Comprehensive recycling Read moreavailable. Garden small but so pretty with lovely furniture and dog proof. Parking right outside. Hide

A beautiful little cottage equipped with everything you could need for a holiday. Sweet little gifts, like fresh flowers, really added to how special the cottage is. The decor is spot on and very unique. We would love to stay again but this time without the elderly in-laws so we can enjoy the master bedroom (the kids can stay at home too next time!Read more) Hide

Lovely cottage in a good position, nice bedrooms and kitchen, garden was excellent. Not sure the shower room worked with the backdoor opening off it. The lounge carpet could do with replacing with something more practical but overall it was well furnished and comfortable. Had a good holiday and loved the area.

Very happy with the accommodation. Quiet area, pleasant small back garden and comfortable seating. Not having a toilet/bathroom upstairs is not ideal, but we were told this beforehand and appreciate problems in resolving it in a traditional country cottage. Downstairs bathroom and utility room perfectly fine as an alternative.

Fantastic cottage in a great location for the beaches/local attractions. The cottage has been modernised but retains its character.

Pleasant and quiet cottage in a location handy for beaches, good walking, and sightseeing. Cottage was a little smaller and darker than the website photographs led us to believe.

Helo there, Honey Cottage is beautiful and we loved our week there. The only issue was that the toilets were downstairs which made a middle of the night loo visit quite challenging :) But other than that, it was perfect. Thank you very much for the Prosecco and biscuits - it was such a treat. Apologies for leaving the black bag in the dustbin in thRead moree kitchen but the big bin outside was so full from previous guests that there was no space for it. Thank you again, it was a great week. Kind regards Hide

A cosy thatched cottage in a lovely setting. Comfortable and well equipped. The only downside is that the bathroom, shower room and loos are all downstairs. The cottage is close to amenities. Perfect location to explore Dorset and its Jurassic coast. In all, a good holiday cottage.
