About this cottage rental
Far from the madding crowd, set down its own private leafy driveway nestled in 8 acres of fields and woodland. Total peace can be found at the old cottage which dates back to the early Victorian age and is full of charm and character. It has an open fire, oil-fired central heating, and has a warm home-from-home feel. The cottage has a King size bed, toilet & washbasin upstairs. The kitchen is extremely well equipped with a dishwasher, microwave, fridge, and freezer. A table and chairs overlooking the fields for breakfast, or a private garden with a fire pit and sun loungers to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet, but still close to all amenities. Just the place to unwind.
The cottage is completely self contained with plenty of parking. Weekly rentals or short breaks in the winter.
Dogs are allowed, (2 maximum) but owners' rules must be followed as there is livestock on the land. A fee of £10 per dog per night. Owners must be responsible for picking up and disposing of bag into the bin at the top of the drive. No dogs are to be left in the cottage on their own at any time, and not allowed on furniture or upstairs.
The fresh smell of the sea and the waves crashing on the beach (when the wind is in the right direction) add to the atmosphere of this unique little gem.
The cottage is cool in summer and warm and cosy in the winter. A log burner is available (September-April) Central heating on a timer during winter months.
The kitchen is extremely well equipped and tea towels, oven gloves, washing up liquid. Complementary milk in the fridge for that much-wanted cup of tea on arrival.
I am more than happy to put food supplies away in the fridge/freezer if a home delivery is requested.
I supply 1 toilet roll in both the bathroom and upstairs toilet.
The bedroom has low eaves, but a very comfortable king-size bed with fresh linen and a duvet provided. The windows in the roof allow you to stargaze, and have black-out blinds if so required.
I am very happy to suggest places of interest or good pubs/restaurants in the area.
If privacy is required this is the place for you.

Our stay at the Groom’s Cottage in Langton Herring was absolutely marvellous. The surrounding is beautiful, great opportunities for walks with the dog, plenty of things to do and to see in Dorset, very nice pubs and restaurants close by. Unfortunately the local pub in Langton Herring went out of business, but we managed. Our host Hilary was very kind and helpful but never intrusive. Very commendable indeeed!!

6 / 10Average·Jun 2022
Lovely cottage and a welcoming, efficient owner who explained the history of grooms' cottages, which was wonderful. A few issues for those who would require these facilities - no wifi unless you go outside (i.e. if sunny), very spotty 3G/4G, no shower curtain, strip your own beds on exit & put in bags downstairs, empty all waste bins, too many rules for the price, make sure you take your own milk as only one cup per is provided, is literally bang next door to owner so privacy is compromised if outside trying to get signal. Otherwise beautiful flowers, lovely setting, extremely clean and tidy.
