A distinctive period cottage in a unique location with tastefully presented interior. This is one of only three cottages built on top of the old Saxon walls in Wareham. Originally there were six cottages, built between the mid and the late 1800s which have now been opened up into three. The cottage is the first one along a gravel footpath and is fronted by the Saxon dyke. The path only goes to the cottages so it is an oasis of peace and calm, yet within two minutes of Wareham town centre. To the rear of the cottage there is a lovely cottage style garden.
The cottage is a short walk from the River Frome and Wareham's picturesque Quay. The town of Wareham is a market town with street market every Saturday and Farmers market on a Thursday. A short drive will take you to many attractions including the National Trust's Corfe
Castle, sandy beaches at Arne, Swanage, Studland or Poole, thousands of acres of nature reserves at Arne or Stoborough, as featured on the BBC's Springwatch series, a delight for birdwatchers and nature lovers. The County town of Dorchester is easily accessible as is the larger town of Bournemouth with seven miles of sandy beaches.

There is a mature and sheltered garden to the back with clean garden furniture The owner was really helpful and flexible about our arrival time
good location,
near for shopping and pubs/restaurants
comfortable beds
simply perfect!
We have stayed on several previous occasions and would not hesitate to highly recommend it.
We will be back in 2020.
The cottage is very well stocked, it's compact but was great for 2 but would easily manage a family. Just watch your head on a couple of doorways if you are over 6ft. No problems in the cottage, the garden was lovely to sit in as we had a sunny week.
The cottage has been beautifully restored, retaining all the character but with high quality kitchen and bathrooms. The weather was wet, one of us was unwell, but it is so cosy and comfortable we felt very much at home.
When we come again with the grandchilden, we hope the weather is better so that we can also enjoy the small but charming garden.
We have had many holidays in Dorset but this is the best location and cottage we have stayed in.
Will definitely book again.
Great weather too!
Also convieniently located to explore the area, close to beautiful beaches (Lulworth Cove, Studland Bay), ancient castles (Corfe, NT), nature reserves (Arne, Blue Pool, Forest) and islands of adventure (Brownsea Island, NT). We will be back!
It's location is both stunning and practical for getting around and exploring, the garden s beautiful whatever the season.
All the appliances, equipment, bed linen etc is top quality which makes it such a pleasure to be there as well.
Highly recommend a stay, make it a long one, even two weeks flies by - just one regret, wish we'd have booked for Christmas, that would have been magical - maybe next year.................
Go out in the evening for a meal and not worry about the car.
Loads to do in the area a nd then return to a perfect snug cottage with all amenities
The back garden is a particular delight with its very imaginative planting for interest at any time of the year. And finally the view from the gravel path as you walk along towards the cottage is a real bonus.
Response from owner: Thank you for your review, we were very sorry to hear of the 'light' issue but glad you enjoyed your holiday; as a result of your feedback we have now had blackout blinds fitted to deal with this.
The cottage was is a beautiful location and walking distance to all of the amenities of Wareham (I would recommend the local butcher and bakers).
It was very clean, tastefully decorated and had everything we needed (and more).
Thank you!
Wareham is a good location with good bus and train connections to Poole.
Would recommend: Rex cinema (throw back to a byegone era, frequented by old fogies, in consequence, no chatting during film and no mobiles); Pub of Year (forgot name in high street); visit to Tynham (spelling) village (only open at weekends) and circular coastal walk (uphill start) taking in Worget bay, so don't forget Speedo's); boat trip into Poole; Pig on the beach (fine dining) and adjacent Henry's bunker (Churchill and Mongomery viewed prep for D day landings) during the war and so much more....
The cottage is set in a peaceful location and feels very warm and welcoming, plenty of room with everything you could need, and with the benefit of 2 bathrooms. We loved the new colour scheme.
So easy to walk into town and the shops and to get the bus. You can leave car behind. This time we were able to get a bus to Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door. Try the Purbeck Ice-cream here - yummy. What wonderful places. Swanage such a lovely old-fashioned type of seaside resort but with plenty going on. More ice-cream! And Wareham itself with its market and lovely riverside walks is a delight. Chips down by the quayside - heaven. If you only go out once for evening meal, try the Italian restaurant down by the quayside. Yummy again!
Could say more but suggest you give it a try. You can even get there by train.

There is still lots for us to visit and lots of favourite places to revisit. We look forward to coming back to Westport cottage for many years yet! It feels like our second home!
I would certainly return to the cottage and also use Dorset Cottage again. Thank you.
The weather improved as the week progressed and come the last 3 days I was getting sunburnt!
There is plenty to see and do, rain or shine. We especially enjoyed trips to Brownsea Island, Arne nature reserve and the Blue Lake. Morning coffee & homebaked cookies sitting in the riverside garden of the Priory hotel in Wareham is a recommended treat.
The normal changeover for this property is a Friday, though this is flexible out of season and over Christmas.
