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’.

We just came home from a weekend at the Gatehouse to celebrate my husband’s 40th birthday and honestly had the most wonderful stay. From start to finish this is the best house we have ever stayed in, we are already looking for when we can book to come back…The location could not be better, only a couple of minutes’ walk from a multitude of lovely shops, restaurants, pubs and cafes ..yet when you are within the house and garden it feels remote and rather rural...The house is stunningly beautiful, yet has a really cosy, homely feel…I could go on and on!..we were all incredibly depressed leaving.

We had the most fabulous stay at a very difficult time. Right in the middle of Lockdown 2 we were moving house and needed somewhere to stay for a week in between moving out and completion. The Gate House was a real sanctuary. It was such a peaceful house and we felt cosseted and warm. If you have to be under lockdown anywhere then the Gate House is the perfect place to be.

From the initial communication to our arrival we were absolutely blown away by the level of hospitality from Jonathan and his team. The house was immaculate and the table filled with fresh eggs, bread, cookies and all the necessities for a weekend away with friends... The house itself was spotless, the beds were comfortable...The position of the house was ideal ... near shops, and next door to a lovely cafe too! I work for a collection of 5 star hotels across the UK and can safely say the whole experience resembled that of a luxurious resort from the service to the accommodation. Thank you!

Third time at The Gatehouse for our group of watercolourists. We all love the place, feel immediately at home, enjoy every minute and then can barely wait for our next visit.

Local points of interest from Jonathan Cornish
- 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.

Great to be located so close to the centre of Wimborne. The Gate House with its 7 bedrooms, brilliant games room, hot-tub and 14 seater dining table was was an ideal place to gather our family together and celebrate a very special birthday.
