  • Grade II listed property allowing four dogs
  • Truly unique period property maintaining many original features including the water wheel
  • Island garden with seating area overlooking the river, River and stream running through the grounds, home to an abundance of wildlife
Property code: OC-THOLD

This unique period property is a great place for you, your family or friends and your canine companions to relax. A Grade II listed water mill with many of its original features, it allows you to escape the hectic pace of modern life by stepping back in time and appreciating the simpler things in life. Conveniently located between the New Forest National Park, two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Studland Nature Reserve, you and your hounds will have a wealth of walking opportunities to explore. Should you want it, you’re also close to urban coastal areas such as Poole and Bournemouth.

 

This property is the epitome of unique. The craftsmanship in the bespoke woodwork throughout the property is something to behold; from the kitchen units and worktops to the four-poster bed, everything appears to be moulded into the house. The exposed beams, inglenook fireplace and wood burner in the lounge create a cosy atmosphere – the perfect place to cuddle up with your pooches of an evening. With low ceilings and some of the bedrooms accessed via steep staircases, this property may not suit everyone. Outside, the property shares an island garden which is accessed across the river: beautiful, but not ideal for small children.

 

The natural beauty surrounding the village of Corfe Mullen, where this property is situated, means guests will never run out of things to see and do. An abundance of footpaths, quaint English villages and pubs/tearooms await you. A highlight is the Swanage Railway, which runs from the delightful National Trust village of Corfe Castle to the seaside resort of Swanage. Both places are worth a visit, particularly the impressive castle with its trails for kids, and dogs are also welcome along for the ride.

Such a unique gem of a holiday stay! The house was full of surprises and has clearly been loved and looked after over many many years, it has everything we could have possibly asked for. The garden was such a huge surprise with kayaks and paddleboards ready. Everything was great and the location was within half hour of all sights, a perfect hub forRead more us. One note: Not suitable for anyone with mobility issues, this was mentioned in the ad but wanted to reiterate. Thank you Bobb and Dee. Hide

Made our Christmas so special! Amazing, quirky property! Bob & Dee were lovely hosts. Brilliant for dogs as there's a massive field/island connected to the back garden by a foot bridge where your dog can run off the lead. Renzo loved it! Would love to go back again if the opportunity arises! Thanks for an amazing week Bob & Dee
