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

Stephanie, London

If you are looking for a welcoming cottage with tons of charm, yet confortable and bright I highly recommend 53 Durweston. 2 bedrooms, a little garden, a serene view over to the church opposite and special touches such as freshly cut flowers and fluffy bathrobes. Really the gem that the photos promised.


Anna, London

We adored 53 Durweston. It's such a charming little cottage with beautiful views over the church yard. Lovely decorated, very clean and bright. Could not recommend it more


Dawn, London

A very stylish and comfortable cottage. Proper art on the walls, lovely fresh flowers and thoughtfully equipped. We will definitely go back.


Elizabeth, Norwich

Durweston was a beautifully appointed and comfortable cottage (although tall people need to be very careful about low door frames and ceilings!). The owner, Emma, was delightful to deal with and the cottage was a great base for exploring this wonderful county.


Christopher, Hartley Wintney, Hook

Super cottage and plenty of room for four and even six if the annex is used. Nice welcome touches of flowers, bottle of wine some basic food needs in the fridge including cheese crackers. Very lovely village and people who are very friendly with everyone smiling including the many horse riders who frequently pass by. This is the sort of cottage you would hope to buy one day.

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.
