The Experience
On the edge of historic Wimborne, a beautifully renovated Georgian house with bags of space for families or groups of friends. Charming owners Ali and William live further down the lane at Deans Court and the front windows frame views of the iron gates and mature trees of their estate. Step through an arched doorway into a spacious architectural gem. High ceilings, cosy nooks, sash windows and a wonderful turned staircase rub shoulders with Ali’s flair for interior design. Vibrant kilims brighten white wooden floors, while patterned French linen blinds team well with walls painted in delicate shades. The seven peaceful bedrooms are filled with antiques and overlook the lawned garden or the estate; traditional bathrooms are stocked with fluffy white towels and Bramley products. Stroll to the farmers’ market for local produce and enjoy candlelit feasts in the theatrical, red dining room. There’s an entertainment room with all the screen fun you could want: TV, Netflix, Apple movies to rent, Xbox… And a hot tub for five just outside. The ancient Minster is a short walk and little ones will love the dinky ‘Model Village’.

Our fifth time staying in this wonderful house and once again a most enjoyable experience. Careful thought has been given to every aspect ... Also, the high standards are maintained from year to year with improvements to be seen each time we return. Anyone who is looking for a house to accommodate a large group won’t find anywhere better than the Gatehouse. Plenty of very convenient parking and close proximity to all that Wimborne has to offer makes for a trouble free stay. And ..the delightful Jonathan is easy to contact and endlessly helpful. Already looking forward to next year’s stay.

We stayed at the Gate House and the Apple and Plum Cottages for our wedding in September 2023 and all of the accommodation was perfect. We had a lot of family and friends travelling from further afield and needed somewhere comfortable for them to stay, which all of the Deans Court accommodation provided and more. The grounds and buildings are beautiful and well maintained, and stocked with everything you could possibly need. The hot tub and BBQ in the gatehouse garden were fantastic bonuses.... A huge thank you to the Deans Court Team for everything :)

The accommodation at Deans Court is truly wonderful. Our wedding party stayed here for three nights in July 2023. The amenities are wonderful, beautifully decorated and the little touches (such as the welcome food basket) really don't go unnoticed. The location is also perfect, a stones throw away from Wimborne town. The team were also super helpful with an early check in and early warm up of the hot tub to allow us to use it the first night of our stay.

- Situated at the entrance to Deans Court, a small privately owned estate in East Dorset. An easy walk from historic Wimborne, with a great selection of restaurants & shops, including an excellent Waitrose, & farmers market once a month.
- 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.
- We can arrange for all levels of catering, perfect if you are holding a family event or birthday party. Please get incontact for more info.
- The beautiful beaches at Sandbanks, Studland and Bournemouth are nearby and the famous Jurassic Coast can be reached via the Sandbanks ferry, 30 mins drive. This part of Dorset offers a huge range of holiday fun & beautiful places to explore.

What a special place The Gate House is. It was everything I’d hoped for in location, accommodation and facilities to bring all the family together. There was space for everyone to spread out; the media room and hot tub were the icing on the cake!
