Meadow Cottage is a true gem, offering the perfect blend of country charm and modern comfort in the heart of Dorset. Nestled within the picturesque Deans Court estate in Wimborne Minster, this enchanting 18th-century retreat provides an idyllic escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. With its beautifully restored interiors and delightful garden setting, Meadow Cottage invites guests to unwind in a space brimming with warmth, character, and charm.
From the moment you step inside, you are enveloped in a cosy atmosphere that makes you feel instantly at home. Chalk-white walls, heritage Farrow & Ball hues, and carefully chosen vintage furnishings create an elegant yet relaxed setting. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated, from the hand-upholstered chairs to the inviting wood-burning stove that crackles away in the living room, making even the rainiest days feel magical. The open-plan living and dining area is perfect for gathering with loved ones, whether it’s sharing a leisurely breakfast or enjoying an intimate candlelit supper.
The modern kitchen is fully equipped, offering everything you need to prepare delicious meals, all while gazing out over the charming walled garden. As the evening draws in, retreat to one of the beautifully appointed bedrooms. Upstairs, the spacious double room and the delightful bunk room – with handmade beds suitable for both children and adults – provide a restful night’s sleep. The family bathroom, finished to an excellent standard, ensures comfort and convenience.
For an extra touch of romance and adventure, step into the garden to discover the enchanting shepherd’s hut. This snug little hideaway, complete with a wood-burning stove and a sumptuous double bed, is the ultimate retreat for those seeking a peaceful escape.
Meadow Cottage can be booked alongside its neighbour, Stour Valley Cottage, making it ideal for larger groups or two families wishing to holiday together while still enjoying their own private space. With the historic market town of Wimborne Minster just a short stroll away and the breathtaking Jurassic Coast within easy reach, this is the perfect base for exploring Dorset’s treasures. Whether you seek adventure or relaxation, Meadow Cottage offers a truly special place to call home during your stay.

Set within the town, The Tivoli Theatre, with its Art Deco interiors, is perfect for evenings of entertainment. It runs a full programme of cinema, theatre and music, with something for everyone. Kids and adults alike love to explore the tiny streets of the small Model Town. A perfect scale replica (1:10) of Wimborne in 1950! The town boasts fifteen pubs and bars, perfect after long country walks or cosy evenings out for dinner.
The house is within reaching distance of fabulous beaches, wonderful countryside, historical attractions and charming market towns. Just twenty minutes away, is the picturesque town of Poole, here you can hop on a ferry and visit neighbouring islands or soak up the sunrays on the near-by golden beaches at Sandbanks and Bournemouth. Other close-by towns which are well worth a visit include the charming county town of Dorchester, Weymouth with its recognisable Georgian seafront and the lively market towns of Bridport and Lyme Regis.
