The setting for this cottage, taken from the garden of the village pub. The owners live at The Old School House, which is behind The Old School Gables.
One end of the original playground has been made into a sheltered and sunny patio.
The cosy sitting-room has a wood-burner effect electric stove heater.
The well-equipped kitchen has all you need for preparing delicious holiday treats.
The kitchen and dining-area are flooded with light.
The master bedroom has a king-size 5ft bed.
Bedroom 2 has a characterful sloping ceiling - and therefore a slightly lower than standard, 4ft 6' double bed.
The ground floor cloakroom is very spacious.
The bathroom has a large shower cubicle.
The perfect place to relax at the end of a day exploring Dorset.
The Old School Gables is attached but completely separate from The Old School House and has plentiful private parking and a sheltered patio space.

Our return trip to The Old School Gables provided us with the relaxing holiday we were looking for - couldn't have asked for more.
Mrs Keyte December 2015
Limited headroom in bedrooms in places but added to the interest of the building and its conversion from a village school. A very pleasant area and would certainly recommend.
Mrs Broughton November 2015
It is impossible to be critical about this property, it is just perfect. Clean, warm, well equipped. Well located for walking, sightseeing and shopping. Excellent.
Mrs Gray September 2015
