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’.

Beautiful house. Excellent location. Warm, comfortable and spacious. Parking is fabulous, you can literally back the car up to the front door to load and unload. The housekeepers are to be congratulated as an old house is difficult to keep clean and this was pristine. Best equipped house we have ever rented. You never run out of anything. Very short walk to Waitrose if needed. Restaurants, bars, coffee shops on the doorstep. With eight people staying, the code entry system was ideal. No key sharing. We had a wonderful time.

A wonderful stay at The Gate House. Such a beautiful house, with so much space for our long awaited family get together. Only there for a long weekend, but so relaxing felt as if we had been there so much longer.

This beautiful house embraces you the moment you walk through the door . Everything is there for the perfect stay, character and charm oozes from every room. Comfortable lounge with wood burner , spacious dining room , plenty of space to seat us all for Christmas dinner. Wonderfully equipped kitchen, obviously stocked by an experienced foodie. Add the media room , the table football was a big hit with every generation, as was the hot tub. All in all you have the perfect home away from home. Jonathan and his staff were wonderful, very attentive ....

Another wonderful stay at the Gate House. We first stayed here when we got married at Deans Court so it was the perfect place for us to return to for a family event. From the thoughtful welcome note to the extra touches to make us as comfortable as possible, we truly had the best time here and only wish we could have stayed longer!

- 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 had a wonderful time at the Gate House celebrating a family birthday. There was plenty of space for all of us - 8 adults and 7 children. The little ones loved exploring the house and the games room was a great idea for both children and adults. A lovely break for all the family thank you.
