This pretty cottage is the perfect family hideaway where six guests and two dogs can enjoy the countryside and coast in equal measure. With beautiful, relaxing rooms, and the wilds of the Wareham Forest setting straight from your door, you and your dogs can enjoy adventurous walks before cuddling up in your country home-from-home and relaxing of an evening.

This period property was originally a farm worker’s cottage. It’s been carefully renovated and extended, making it a spacious and light-filled home. The lounge is a cosy space with TV and wood burner, ideal for reading or chilling out together after a long day. It leads through into an additional snug, great for kids who want to split off from the main party, with patio doors leading outside. The kitchen is a charming, country-style room, and when you’re done cooking, take your meal through to the neighbouring dining table. Head upstairs to the first floor and you’ll find three inviting bedrooms. With a king-size, a double, and a twin with a cot, guests will all find an escape to suit them. And outside the property, your dogs will get their slice of the fun as an extensive garden backs onto the fringes of Wareham Forest, an inspiring view to wake up to.

Begin your holiday adventure by trekking into the forest. You and your dogs will love heading straight out to sniff out new adventures, exploring walking trails and spotting wildlife. Or, for a sandier excursion, take a 13.5-mile drive to the Studland Nature Reserve and Studland Beach. Here you can let your dogs roam and play, while you soak in the dramatic coastal views of Studland Bay.

East Cottage is a spacious, comfortable and well-equipped holiday home. The indoor and outdoor toys kept our grandchildren busy for hours and the garden is beautiful - all you can see is trees and fields. The peaceful location of the cottage makes it feel as though it's miles away from anywhere, but it isn't at all. Several beaches are only a shortRead more drive away, as are Monkey World, Farmer Palmers, Wareham and the steam railway to Swanage. We'd definitely stay here again. Hide

The cottage was amazing and spacious for 5 adults, a child, a toddler and 2 dogs. Everyone enjoyed relaxing and playing in the garden. The children enjoyed playing with both inside and outside toys. Plenty of things to do within a 30 minute radius.

This property is beautiful inside and out. The garden was a huge hit with the kids and dog. The rooms are a lovely size, the beds were nice and comfy. It was so quiet at nighttime, and peaceful during the day. Everything you need is in this house from bed guards to stair gates. Its a fantastic location, most places are around 15-30 minutes away.

We had a fabulous week at East Cottage. The location was excellent and lots nearby to do. The cottage had everything we needed. The 3 pre schoolers in our party loved the toys inside and outside the house and the garden. We would highly recommend it. Really quiet location and saw several deer and a buzzard whilst there.

Lovely secluded house that is great for dogs and kids a like, especially we would say under 5s with the amenities the owners provide. Great base to explore Dorset from, with lots of beach and forest walks in short and day trip distance from the house. All the facilities you could wish for to have a comfortable and relaxing stay.
