“The cottage was lovely and cosy.”

There was a really fantastic welcome pack of goodies, which we really appreciated. The view of the old church was wonderful from the lounge window.

There was a really fantastic welcome pack of goodies, which we really appreciated. The view of the old church was wonderful from the lounge window. This room was quite small so the sofa and chair were just a but too small for us to fully relax in the evening. Also the double bed sank in the middle so we rolled together ☺️ These are the reasons why i marked it down slightly for comfort. We had a lovely holiday and would recommend this cottage.

“This was a beautiful cottage in such a lovely valley.”

We were greeted with some wonderful treats (even something for our fur baby!) The location is close to some fabulous walks and well as a really delicious tea garden. This was one of our best stays in the UK so far both in respect of location and the accommodation itself. Lisa, Nick and Duke

“A beautiful cottage exactly as described.”

Very well equipped. A very pretty but steep garden. Wonderful position opposite a beautiful church. Bell ringing on Sunday was joyous. A welcome package containing goodies was thoughtful and the dog treats were enjoyed by our Labrador. Bear in mind that both bathrooms are downstairs. This may not suit all guests. The cottage is a good base for some lovely walks. We especially enjoyed the Jubilee Trail.

“Amazing Dorset home from home”

Snooks cottage is everything holiday accommodation should be. Beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and delightfully quirky. You have absolutely everything you need with amenities, the kitchen literally has everything!! - incredibly comfortable beds, great lounge and the choice of two bathrooms. The outside of Snooks looks like a picture postcard of loveliness and the inside is just as amazing - Big pat on the back to the owners, who also provided a delicious welcome pack of goodies - Just fabulous

“Snooks Cottage, Upwey, Dorset”

Ein wundervolles altes Cottage in einer traumhaften Lage. Es liegt in einer Sackgasse gegenüber einer Kirche aus dem 13. Jhd. Nur die Kirchenglocken läuten am Sonntag um 10 und am Mittwochabend beim Training. Hier wird das typisch englische Wechselläuten mit 6 Glocken praktiziert. Man darf auch gern beim Training zuschauen und bekommt alles erklärt. Das Cottage selbst ist auch ziemlich alt und wunderschön eingerichtet. Besonders die gemütliche Küche hat es uns angetan. Es ist alles etwas niedrig, große Leute sollten auf ihren Kopf achten. Die Einrichtung ist komplett und in einem sehr guten Zustand. Vom Cottage aus kommt man überall in Dorset in vertretbarer Zeit hin (Auto ist nötig). Besonders zu empfehlen für Fossilienliebhaber ist die Jurassic Coast (Charmouth ist sicher der beste Spot). Weymouth und Dorchester als nächstgelegene Städte sind sehenswert und besonders für Wanderer bleiben hier wohl auch keine Wünsche offen.

“Fantastic dog friendly cottage full of character”

We spent one week at Snooks Cottage with our large dog and to be honest we could not fault it. From the very helpful joining instructions and the welcome hamper (including dog treats) to all the little extras such as phone and extra logs should we have needed them (for additional small fee). The location was extremely peaceful being towards the end of a dead end Lane. Upwey has two excellent pubs just 15 to 20 minutes walk along lit streets. The Dorset Jurassic Coast is just a short drive away with some of the best coastal walking you can find. A highly recommended holiday rental.

Thank you for your feedback and we are glad you and your dog had a fantastic time. This cottage is in a fantastic location so we're glad you took advantage of the amazing walks nearby, we hope you book again soon. Owner relations

The property

In the pretty village of Upwey in Dorset is this incredible semi-detached, Grade II listed, 17th century thatched cottage, looking as though it's come straight out of a fairytale.

Encompassing all that a quaint country cottage should be, this property has stunning original features, like the parquet wood flooring, exposed stone walls, barn-style doors and a grand fireplace.

The front of the cottage is home to a delightful sitting room where you can spend a quiet evening in front of the woodburning stove set within the stone fireplace, you will look forward to returning home each day to this comforting room.

A beautiful country-style kitchen is the epitomy of cute, a rangemaster takes the centre stage and will be a joy to use when catering for the group.

Sit at the breakfast table and keep the chef company before heading into the dining room where you can gather around the dark wood table opposite the decorative fireplace.

Two double bedrooms lie upstairs inkeeping with the quaint cottage theme with pretty floral bedding and exposed wooden beams in the walls and ceiling, supporting this spectacular and historic property.

First ground floor bathroom with bath, hand-held shower, basin and WC.

Second ground floor bathroom with walk in shower, basin and WC.

When the sun is shining head outside into the picturesque garden, bursting with flowers and shrubs and enjoying a pleasant lawn space, you can sit out on the garden furniture and take a moment to yourself to relax.

Step into the village of Upwey and enjoy some tea and cake at The Wishing Well, where once George III sought the benefits of the natural spring water, now an established tea room and water garden.

Start your journey on one of the several footpaths that lead out of the village and take you into the vast Dorset countryside for some wonderful views and scenery.

Snooks Cottage is a special and unique property, a holiday experience in Dorset not to be missed.

About the location

UPWEY

Dorchester 4.5 miles; Weymouth 4 miles.

The picturesque village of Upwey lies just four miles north of Weymouth, nestling beneath the Dorset Ridgeway, and takes its name from the shallow chalk stream, the River Wey, which bubbles up here from an underground spring. Upwey is well-known for its Wishing Well, where George III once sought the benefits of the natural spring water. It is now a delightful tea room, serving lunches and traditional cream teas. There are a number of footpaths leading directly from the village to miles of unspoilt countryside, and close by is the market town of Dorchester, Thomas Hardy’s ’Casterbridge’. An easy drive or bus ride takes you to the popular seaside resort of Weymouth offering visitors glorious golden sandy beaches, excellent watersports facilities and a bustling harbour. An attractive village location and an ideal place to escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

This property has a Saturday changeover. To request a different check in day, you must call us on 01244 345700.
