About this cottage rental

Nestling in the rolling South Dorset Downs and within the natural beauty of Hardy country, Winfrith Newburgh is a quiet conservation village complete with medieval church and manor house, and is only 3 miles from the 'Jurassic Coast' - designated as England's first natural World Heritage Site - with its spectacular scenic wonders of Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door. They are a short five minute drive away, or even within walking distance for the more adventurous. To the North lie the famous cottage and birthplace of novelist Thomas Hardy at Higher Bockhampton, 18th century Milton Abbey, and Milton Abbas. Other places of interest include Abbotsbury Swannery, the magnificent Maiden Castle just outside Dorchester, one of the largest collections of army fighting vehicles in the world at Bovington Tank Museum, Monkey World, Corfe Castle, and the natural wonder of the Blue Pool near Wareham.
Small well behaved pets allowed, charges apply.

8.0 / 10.0

Lovely cottage in fantastic location. Loved everything about it except that only 2 people can really sit/chill comfortably in the living room. Bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen - superb. We had a fab time.

10.0 / 10.0

As described on the website: clean, comfortable, well-located for our needs.

Clear instructions from the house keeper as to where to find and access the key. The Keysafe was a struggle, but we managed eventually. Good WiFi, which is needed as there’s no phone signal. Everything you need in the kitchen for a comfortable stay. Only 1 toilet roll was left though so had to buy more from the village shop! It’s an old, traditional cottage, which is lovely. In character of the time period, the ceilings are low (under 6ft) and the stairs are steep. The house has that older smell to it, which reminded me of my younger days visiting my grandparents.

10.0 / 10.0

Our place was quaint and adorable. We had the true England cottage experience! It was small but we had everything we needed and we enjoyed seeing this part of England. Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door areas were breathtaking.

A wonderful property that has a convenient bus stop right next door. We stayed here and had no issues getting place to place (in the summer when there are more busses) using public transportation. The downstairs of the home for those of you over 6' tall will feel like Gandalf in Bilbo Baggin's home as the ceilings are only about 6'1" in height. Also if you are physically challenged the stairway to the upstairs can be a bit challenging to navigate. Overall we completely enjoyed the stay and would recommend with the limitations previously called out. Also don't plan on using your cell phone here (No bars with t.mobile) nor high speed internet.

Great weekend in this little cottage. Perfect location for visiting the local area

Fell in love with Winfrith and the cottage had such charm. Managed to bump my head a few times on the low ceiling and my handicapped son struggled a bit with the stairs but, overall, a gorgeous place to stay

10.0 / 10.0

Comfortable, well appointed cottage in close proximity to Lulworth and Durdle Door. Re contents, the knives really need sharpening, and one spare loo roll would have been very welcome. Otherwise everything was lovely.

10.0 / 10.0

Tiny cottage. Don't bring large luggage. Managed to park outside the door each time we left. Handy village shop a short walk away. Coast bus route goes by the door. A lovely location.

10.0 / 10.0

Just used as a base whilst visiting family nearby. Pretty property in rural village with stunning scenery on the doorstep. Only one tiny negative - the bathroom sink was blocked with hair. Easily fixed and didn’t take away from the overall stay. Would definitely recommend.

We had a lovely stay here. Very cute and cosy cottage. The place is kept very clean, not a sign of dust anywhere! I have dust allergies so I was very pleased. Clear instructions for check in and in the cottage. Ground floor does have very low ceiling, not an issue, just mind your heads. Perfect for a quiet place but close to the Jurassic coast.

8.0 / 10.0

Lovely cottage. Quiet village. Only issue was that someone parked directly in front of the front door, so we couldn’t park there and had difficulty squeezing through to the front door. I suggest putting up a sign asking others not to park there.

10.0 / 10.0

A lot of thoughts has gone into the details to make the property very welcoming: mirrors in the bedrooms, tea towels as well as towels, soaps and washing up liquid provided, wooden logs for the fire, little notice boards to explain everything. The seating downstairs is very confi and the kitchen is very well equipped. The only thing I would say could be improved is the mattresses on the single beds, they are not 100% confi for adults; but it didn't spoil our stay. Thank you for having us.

The cottage was smaller than it looked on listing! Lovely area, I would have liked up to date information/leaflets on local attractions and village walks. Paying for a weekend away, I do not expect to put out the rubbish and strip bed linen etc. first time ever!! But we enjoyed our short break, celebrating my birthday.

We spent a perfect weekend away from London with our 2 daughters (2 & 4) in this sweet cottage in the most idyllic village. Very comfy and perfect location to explore the beautiful Dorset coast including Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door. Kelly couldn't have been more accommodating and helpful at the last minute! Many thanks and we can't wait to visit next time :)

This quaint cottage was perfect for our weekend, the purpose of which was a friends wedding nearby. It was well equipped and although we did not have time to explore the local area it is well situated.

Perfect launch pad for Dorset coast. The cottage is very cosy, the master bedroom particularly spacious. Some really good pubs within walking distance. Very quiet. Watch out downstairs if you’re tall. Would definitely return though.

4.0 / 10.0

A really quaint cosy cottage, not for anyone over 5'8" as you will have to contend with beams and doorways. Excellent location for walks to Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove. Excellent bus service to Corfe Castle and Steam Train, then Swannage. Property very clean, has everything you need for your stay. Recommended.

Beautiful cottage. Central to many places I Dorset! Weymouth lulworth cove

4.0 / 10.0

Lovely cottage overall. A few points: Upstairs storage heater did not work no matter what we tried. Single beds are really too small for adults (2'6"). Given external temperature (2-3C at night), you can only reach a decent internal temp (say 20C) with extra heaters.

5.0 / 10.0

Great stay and two great walks on SW Cpastal Path

The cottage was very cosy but plenty of room. It was well equipped and we did not want for anything. A nice village served by a very good village store.Shame that the weather was not so kind.

4.0 / 10.0

Very nice and clean property. However ceilings and lights v low and stairs would be impossible for v old or young. Great location, shop and pub a big plus but noisy road with tractors v early in morning. Taxi info would have helped but found good one and left in book.

5.0 / 10.0

Such a lovely cottage in a really nice village. Perfect location for exploring the area.
