Our NEW self-catering Wheelwrights Cottage – full of character, cosy charm, and country style.

Once part of the original village Forge, Wheelwrights Cottage is a cosy, character-filled retreat for two. Tucked away in a peaceful setting, it’s the perfect escape for couples looking for comfort, charm, and countryside walks right from the door.

The cottage is dog-friendly, so your four-legged companion can enjoy the break too. Wander along the scenic footpaths that start just outside the gate, then return to relax in your own private, enclosed courtyard — ideal for lazy breakfasts in the sun or stargazing in the evening.

Inside, a crackling wood burner sets the scene for snug nights in, while the thoughtful mix of original features and modern comforts makes Wheelwrights Cottage a welcoming home-from-home. Whether you’re here for a weekend getaway or a longer stay, you’ll find the perfect blend of privacy, warmth, and Dorset charm.
