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’.

Alice, Poole

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.

We booked the gate house for my daughter and her friends and they had a ball. It had everything we needed and we loved the space the bedrooms and the garden with hot tub. It was everything my daughter wanted and more. We hope to come back with all the family.

Rachel, Kent

We had a lovely full family weekend at the Gate House. The children absolutely loved the games room, hot tub and playing badminton in the garden. We had some lovely walks along the river with the dog and Granny loved having the church on the doorstep. Didn't realise how central it was when we booked but was perfect. So much space too, 12 people and 2 dogs and still plenty of room to escape each other
