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.
The popular pub is next door to the cottage, serving traditional pub food. You are advised to book for weekend meals - Phone numbers for booking are 07720 948 100 & 01308 867 930.

The cottage has a real home comfort feel about it and that feeling you could only experience on opening the front door :) Would definitely book again x

Lovely comfortable cottage in a really nice part of the country. It is in a quiet village so a car will be needed.

Good value cottage. Great location and well equipped. Lovely and clean.Fantastic that we could bring the dog and he lived the playground! Would definitely like to return again.

We thought the Old School Gables and owners were really excellent - the Gables were spotlessly clean, well thought out and equipped, warm, comfortable and we will most likely be returning sometime. The owners were very welcoming us and our dogs, and even looked after the dogs (and took them to the pub!) when we went out to a show. So, and all round perfect weekend away! Highly recommended....

Excellent accommodation in lovely rural surroundings but not too far from the coast. It is certainly one to recommend and we look forward to staying again in the future.
