The Experience

Two chic cottages in a majestic estate flanked by orchards and organic vegetable gardens. Take a drink – or sketchpad – to the terrace for views of Wimborne Minster, distant cricket matches and the birds over Stour Meadows; sunsets are stunning. Exposed stonework reflects the 18th-century origins of these Georgian gardeners’ cottages. Clean-lined interiors reflect 21st-century design. Spotlights gleam off brick walls washed in porcelain white, a rustic yet contemporary canvas for original oils, vintage chairs, oriental cushions. Apple has an inglenook fireplace, Plum a spacious elm table to enjoy if you take both cottages together. Sisal carpets lead to simple bedrooms where linen blinds frame meadow views. Cook and eat in modern country kitchens then step out to a private garden lined with fruit trees; each cottage has it’s own gravel patio with removable fencing allowing them to be opened up when booking Apple and Plum together. Plum comes with its own shepherd’s hut: duck egg blue walls and a French enamelled wood-burner. An easy walk from historic Wimborne, a short drive from blue flag beaches at Poole and Bournemouth, and perfect for big groups who can book both cottages and the nearby Gate House.

Reviews

Sarah, London

We absolutely loved our stay a Plum Cottage - the perfect, restful break at the end of the year. The ideal mix of feeling like you're in the middle of nowhere countryside but being in walking distance of the most gorgeous little town full of delights. Everything about our stay was carefully and thoughtfully put together, down to delicious fresh bread and eggs in the kitchen on arrival. Hugely grateful to Paul and the team for their work making it such a beautiful and relaxing stay for me and my best friends.

Third stay at Plum Cottage over several years. Still well maintained and cosy. Ideally situated for a stroll into Wimborne or further afield to the coast.


Molly, Southampton

We stayed at Deans Court for our wedding, using Apple Cottage, Plum Cottage, and the Gate House, and everything was absolutely perfect. Each place was so lovely and welcoming, and the little touches like fresh flowers, eggs, bread, and other goodies left for us made it feel really special. The team was also brilliant in the lead-up – really responsive and helpful, which made everything so easy to organise. It was the perfect base for our wedding, and we couldn’t recommend Deans Court highly enough.


Nick, Devon

We had a wonderful stay at Apple Cottage in April, such a tranquil spot by the blossoming orchard with the minster in the distance. Everything perfect from the duvets, to the welcoming goodies and the lovely garden. We shall be back.

The neighbourhood

Local points of interest from Jonathan Cornish

  • Situated within the grounds of Deans Court, these C18th farm-hands’ cottages have been renovated to provide contemporary comfort in a rural setting.
  • To get the cottages you will drive past the walled-kitchen garden, where vegetables are grown for our veg baskets.
  • Visit the Deans Court Cafe, enjoy salads, soups, homemade quiches, cakes etc. Open everyday except Sunday. Also pop into our vintage shop situated in a converted squash court adjacent to the cafe.
  • An easy walk from historic Wimborne, with a great selection of restaurants and shops. (Including a Waitrose)
  • For large groups, we also have The Gate House (sleeping 16) and we can arrange for all levels of catering as suits your needs - get in touch for more info.
