The Experience

Rural chic at its best! A thatched 18th-century cottage bursting with character and clutter-free style. Dreamy window seats, an inglenook fireplace, oak floorboards and latch doors, exposed beams, cob walls, wood-burners, a rustic antique dining table, a vintage leather armchair… fresh flowers, soft furnishings, candles and contemporary artwork complete the picture. Picasso print line drawings dot the kitchen – a long, narrow Victorian addition with stone flooring, a painted dresser and all you’ll need. Up the cottagey stairs to the oh-so-pretty bedrooms, light and luxuriously carpeted with views of church, water meadows and woods beyond. Both have king-size, French style, cream iron beds, crisp white cotton and chests of drawers; the larger gets a buttonback chair, the smaller, a cast-iron fireplace, and the spacious bathroom between them has sumptuous towels and toiletries. All this, and a herb and flower-planted garden, in the quietest part of a most attractive village in Dorset. Fantastic for cycling and chalk ridge walks, and a ten-minute drive from Georgian Blandford. It’ll be hard to leave.

Reviews

Janice, London

We had a lovely stay with family for a birthday celebration recently at 53 Durweston. the cottage was all we could have hoped for - comfortable, dog-friendly, sizeable communal table for dining and games, 2 large-sized bedrooms, perfect for 2 couples and an incredible original fireplace. We loved all the furnishings and unique objects around the place. The cottage is very well equipped with everything you might need for a comfortable stay. Having use of the second bathroom in the "outhouse" was great. Charming village setting with walks from the door and lots to do nearby. Highly recommended.


Tom, Petworth West Sussex

Charming comfortable cottage in a lovely village location. All communication with owner easy and quick. Will be back!


Katrina, West Berkshire

What a glorious cottage! We had a lovely 5 night break here and couldn't recommend enough. The cottage is beautiful, fluffy towels, dressing gowns, beautiful bed linen, so warm...and lots of extra touches...gorgeous lilies on the dining table and fresh flowers in every room...cheese, butter, milk in the fridge...chocolate, tea, coffee, wine, dvds, log burners...what's not to love? Recommendations of places to visit were included. The Whitehorse at Stourpaine was a 15 min walk away and we had a lovely lunch. Will be back!


Victoria, Essex

Oh my! This place never disappoints. It was our second stay and although the weather wasn’t as kind to us as last year, we still had a fantastic break. This home is absolutely on point and perfect to get everywhere and anywhere! It has everything you need and super comfortable.


Laura, Surrey

This is a luxuriously appointed and truly gorgeous cottage. Linens and furniture all high quality and well thought through. The area is well placed to reach the best of Dorset, Wiltshire and Somerset. We enjoyed glorious days tooling around the West Country and evenings tucked up watching old English films, Jane Austen etc. perfect for the dog too. A glorious and recommended stay.

Local points of interest from Emma Perry

  • With so many beautiful walks from your doorstep you can certainly leave the car parked up for the day.
  • The lovely Georgian market town of Blandford Forum is just a short drive away although we like to put our walking shoes on and meander our way through the beautiful grounds of Bryanston School next to the river Stour
  • The stunning Jurassic Coast with cliff top walks and beautiful sandy beaches lies just 35 minutes away by car. Our favourite beach is Studland which boasts amazing views, horse riding, sailing and water sports. It really does cater for everyone.
  • The superb hill fort of Hod Hill has the greatest views over rural Dorset and is home to spectacular wild flowers and butterflies. Enjoy a breathtaking walk towards the summit of Hambledon Hill, an iron age Hill fort and why not take a picnic.
  • You may want to take the opportunity to visit Bath or Salisbury during your stay. They are both an easy drive away or you may choose to visit Shaftsbury and Gold Hill (which is where the memorable Hovis Ad was filmed)
  • Lovely local pubs for great food and drink. I will be very happy to introduce you to our favourites.
