Plum Cottage - An 18th Century cottage on the edge of Wimborne

One of a pair of 18th century gardener’s cottages set within a country estate, Plum Cottage exudes serenity. Its country chic style along with breath-taking views towards the River Stour and cricket pitch beyond provide a great hideaway to explore the stunning Dorset countryside. Chalk white walls, Farrow & Balls paints and re-upholstered vintage furniture provide the perfect space in which to relax and unwind.
​An elm dining table in Plum Cottage seating ten is perfect if taken with Apple Cottage and all want to dine together.

Plum Cottage sleeps six guests - but with a special twist, as the third bedroom is the Shepherd’s Hut in the garden. With a double bed and a wood burning stove, nothing could be cosier.

Foodies will be delighted to receive a welcome basket of local, homemade treats on arrival. Expect to be greeted with freshly baked bread from our local bakery, locally sourced free-range eggs, home-baked treats, locally produced jam and of course milk in the fridge and a selection of Dorset teas and ground coffee.

Apple Cottage is also available to book at this location.
