Gorgeous cottage with heated swimming pool!
Each cottage has their own private patio and garden. Set in the grounds of the gardens there is a large outdoor heated swimming pool (May – September) and children’s play area with garden games for all to enjoy. Home grown fruit and vegetables are available seasonally and Adele offers a small but delicious selection of home made cakes cooked fresh to order to make your stay with us even more enjoyable. Please note: This cottage retains its original ‘Dorset winder’ staircase to the upstairs bedrooms and bathroom. This staircase is steeper and narrower than a modern staircase, so care must be taken and the cottage may not be suitable for some guests with more limited mobility.
Smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms are present in all cottages.

An absoulte gem!
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Woodcutters Cottage! It looked lovely prior to going however, it's a real gem when you are there. The cottage is finished to a high standard, is well equipped, and then you have this magical garden trail, games, and play area. The local pub at the bottom of the garden has a lot for families, mini golf courses, goats that you can feed , ping ping, play bus, and more.
We will definitely be returning! Thank you for a lovely time! x
