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

A really lovely cottage.
Super clean
Some welcome touches include milk and wine in the fridge on arrival.
Much to explore and fossil hunting in Charmouth was great fun.
Highly recommended and enjoyed by our small family.

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.
