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

Jan, Bracknell

Lovely cottage, very well equipped with everything you could possibly need and more. The beds were extremely comfortable, views were stunning. Jonathan quickly resolved a couple of queries we had. Would love to stay again in the future, and would definitely recommend.


Gilly, Dethick Matlock

We loved Apple Cottage, from the moment we arrived to a wonderful welcome - lights on, heating on, flowers and such a thoughtful selection of local produce. Gorgeous toiletries too. Beautiful crispy, cotton bed linen. Staying here was just so easy. Lovely comfortable spotlessly clean cottage, bags of ambience, peaceful, quiet retreat. Access to Wimborne could not be more convenient - five minutes walk to restaurants, shops and Waitrose on the doorstep. Howling gales and horizontal rain outside - us warm and cosy inside. We had a wonderful peaceful relaxing holiday and we will definitely return


Rachel, Okehampton

I was pretty pleased with myself when I came across this gorgeous cottage, and brilliant location. Both are superb. If you wanted to write a book here, contemplate life or just come away with family or friends, you couldn't wish for a better place. It is tucked away, is safe and quiet and is within walking distance of everything you need from the charming town of Wimbourne. Highly recommended. And all the goodies that are left for you on arrival make it extra special. Great stay. Thank you very much.


Anthony, St Albans

A great place to stay to get to know Wimborne. Conveniently located and with wonderful views. Everybody was very helpful and friendly – nothing was too much trouble, even a private lesson in how to use Netflix!


Christine, Andover

We had a most marvellous Christmas staying for a week at Apple and Plum cottages. It began with a very warm welcome which made us feel very much at home. The cottages looked superb(wreaths on the doors and a Christmas tree in the sitting room)and spotlessly clean and so very warm(important for us as we had relatives from Australia). There was a very generous and exciting welcome pack awaiting us. The cottages were exceptionally well equipped so we had no problem cooking Christmas dinner; everything we needed was there. After dinner we had the joy of sitting around the log burner. It was perfect

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.
