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

David

What a lovely week we had in Plum Cottage. Calm, warm, all needs catered for, a wonderful sanctuary during what is otherwise a strange period. The simple and environmentally friendly range of products has taken us further on our own journey to take better care of the planet. Delicious food in the café and interesting items for sale in the shop. A lovely antidote to the hustle and bustle of everyday life. That said, it was a perfect location to be able to walk into Wimborne with its great mix of artisan and boutique shops, cafes and pubs together with some national chains for staple essentials.

We had a very happy stay at Plum Cottage. It was charming and comfortable, in a lovely location. Beautiful, well kept, gardens and great views across the fields. We were lucky with the weather and enjoyed sitting on the terrace, watching the sun go down, with our G and Ts. Convenient for local shops and the pretty town of Wimborne. Sadly, the Minster and other facilities were closed but we still found plenty to do and see locally.


Gina, Surrey

A wonderful, relaxing experience at Apple Cottage, our second stay at Deans Court. Facilities were great and every requirement was covered including the welcome goodies. Took my elderly parents with us who loved the downstairs bedroom and en-suite bathroom along with the garden to sit out in. Shops nearby. Good base to see Dorset including a trip to Compton Acres and Poole. I would highly recommend a stay to friends and family and will be booking again to return in the future.


Sylvia, Newton Abbot

We loved our all too short stay in Apple Cottage and yes, the apples were everywhere and we even heard them falling from the trees as we enjoyed sitting in the garden (towards the end of August). This is a genuine cottage with a delightful cottage feel and we found everything welcoming, comfortable and set up for a delightful and relaxing stay. Thank you.


Jo, Woodmansterne

This was our 2nd 2-week stay at Apple Cottage and we are already planning our 3rd stay. The peace and tranquility was just what we needed but shops and restaurants a short walk away when the kids got restless. A lovely, unique place to stay.

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.
