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

Kim

We found Plum Cottage to be very comfortable and well equipped. Check-in/out was easy and information was clear and concise. Wimborne proved to be a good location for us offering plenty of places to eat out. Fairly well located for the coast - 40 mins approx.


Nicola, Bristol

Great family fun taking both cottages with plenty of room inside and out - lovely to be able to walk to everything but feel deeply rural and with countryside views from the garden.


David, Gwent

Our second stay in Plum Cottage, and again a very clean and comfortable place to stay. Our Granddaughters enjoyed the Shepherd's hut. We have been coming to Wimborne for over forty years and always find it very welcoming and peaceful, and Plum Cottage is nicely tucked away but a short walk to all facilities. The site Manager, Jonathan, has been so efficient to deal with, and we have already booked for a further visit.


Amanda, Oxfordshire

Plum Cottage is utterly charming and ticks all the boxes for a quaint country get away. The cottage was stylishly presented, spotlessly clean and well stocked with all the homely touches needed to make your stay comfortable. Unlimited access to wood for the burner was a generous bonus, as well as the iTunes film voucher. Thank you for the lovely welcome hamper with fresh, local produce. I stayed at the cottage with a friend for my 30th and it was the perfect place to celebrate. I will definitely be visiting again.


Elizabeth, Dorset

Relaxing rural retreat with a touch of quirkiness. Perfect for resetting and getting away from it all and yet so close to the hustle and bustle of Wimborne Town Centre if needed. Jonathan and Team were so helpful in arranging the last minute weekend. Thank you so much


Location

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.
