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.

This house is in a lovely location and despite two nearby properties provided a private, spacious and comfortable holiday home. Easy access to the sites in this part of Dorset, although we stayed at the property most of the time. An excellent (beer) fridge/freezer!

Lovely spacious house on the edge of Wareham forest. Very quiet and peaceful. Well equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds. Large bathroom upstairs. Ample parking at the front. Perfect location for visiting the area. Wareham particularly good for eating out. A small town full of character. A highly recommended holiday home.

Excellent location for seeing key sights & attractions with the family. Peaceful garden with so much wildlife. Cannot fault the owner who acted immediately on sorting out the washing machine when they discovered it had an issue. Very impressed & likely to return.

East Cottage was an ideal place for a peaceful few days, set in a quiet woodland area which was just what we were looking for. The cottage is very spacious, comfortable and well laid out with good facilities.

The garden is large and surrounded by a low wire strand fence so something to be aware of if your dog likes to "explore" Hide

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.
