Cosy cottage located on the Isle of Purbeck

Tanners Cottage was built in 2014 on the land behind what was the old village shop and next to where the old tannery used to be located. The cottage is a detached property with an enclosed private garden.

Upon entering the property you'll find a cosy hallway leading into a modern fully equipped kitchen, the kitchen also boasts a dining area with views of the garden. Open the French doors onto the patio and you'll find an outdoor seating area to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

A utility room just off the kitchen containing a Freezer and washing machine can also be found next to the downstairs cloakroom.

The lounge is adjacent to the kitchen and again has French doors leading out onto the garden. The lounge comes complete with a log burner for those cooler evenings. A smart TV with Netflix and catchup TV can also be found.

Upstairs 2 bedrooms can be found, the master bedroom has a luxury king size bed and the 2nd bedroom has two single beds which can be converted to a king size. Please let us know the bed configuration of the 2nd bedroom when making your booking so that we can get it ready.

Located on the Isle of Purbeck (not really an island but a peninsula on the Dorset coast) and just a short drive to many local beaches it's a perfect location to relax and enjoy the generally warmer weather the south coast enjoys. Parking for one car adjacent to the cottage.

Make yourself comfortable in this cottage, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.

Our stay at the Cosy cottage was excellent, the newly built or refurbished property which is ideal for all your needs, comfort, full of all the necessary amenities and locally enough for visiting days out. My only gripe was the washing machine door been stuck i had to call the owner to walk me through the unlocking process!!

Fantastic cottage at the gateway to the Isle of Purbeck, just what we were looking for. The cottage and facilities were as described and even exceeded our high expectations. The check in via the key safe was simple and efficient and the standard of the kitchen equipment was very high indeed. Many comments in the guest book mentioned repeat visits and we can see why. The owners were very responsive to questions and nothing was too much trouble.The village pub has a good selection of beers, friendly staff and a good menu. Whilst the short walk into Wareham is easy (even for us old timers) and has a good selection of pubs, tea rooms and restaurants. We were lucky to drop on one of the Wareham Wednesday family evening with stalls, bands and fireworks, that run through August.An added bonus was the good bus service with stops just outside which gave us options to explore without the car.

A very comfortable stay and very well equipped. We could not want for any thing more, wonderfully quiet. The location is also very good, close to Studland, Corfe, Swanage, Durlston Country Park, Worth Matravers. We walked a lot. In addition, the hosts were very generous with essentials in the fridge when we arrived.

A super cottage in a great location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this spacious, comfortable, clean, quiet, warm cottage. It is in a great location. We walked into Wareham, where we had a good meal at The Old Granary. We had a meal at The Kings Arms, a few minutes walk from the cottage, which was superb. We spent two days at RSPB Arne, which is only a short drive away.

A really nice property in a quiet setting

We stayed for a week as a couple and were very pleased with the overall layout of the cottage, it’s location in the village with the pub/restaurant 200 metres away and Wareham itself just a 10 minute walk. Set in a quiet corner, it was a great base to explore the many attractions in the area. It was clean, comfortable and well stocked with essentials (and some goodies). In fact, the description in the listing is all but 100% accurate. A nice change! One we definitely recommend and will stay at again.

Fantastic stay in a lovely cottage in a great location

We loved our stay inTanners Cottage. It was super clean, and beautifully furnished and comfortable. The kitchen had all the basics and more, plenty of crockery, cutlery, pots/pans, spices, foil, cling film, tea, etc, etc. We were welcomed with delicious locally made sourdough bread and butter, jam, biscuits, milk, and more! A week of rainy weather curtailed our walks, but the comfy cottage, unique Wareham shops and local made the holiday special. The Kings Arms in Stoborough is 5 minutes walk away and has great gin and beer. And The Salt Pig in Wareham has an amazing deli selection to bring home, as well as fresh local fish and cheese. The garden and patio could do with attention, as they both have weeds and the patio could use a power wash. But that is a small thing, if I'm being picky.

By far the most superior let in the area

Immaculately clean as always and well laid out. Location is ideal for exploring the local areas of Swanage and Weymouth. Bonus of having your own parking space and the little food extras the owners leave is a lovely touch. Having relatives living close by made it even better. Ideal for a family and highly recommend this property.
